British holidaymakers have fallen ill on holiday after experiencing poor food and hygiene standards at the Hotel Melia Marina Varadero in Cuba.
Visitors to the hotel have commented on the review website TripAdvisor after they were served lukewarm food. This has led to holidaymakers suffering sickness bugs during their stay.
One hotel guest commented: âThe main restaurant food was a disaster. The quality of the food was bad enough but then add in hot buffet food presented in poorly heated chafing dishes.
âThe food is lukewarm and you are heading for stomach problems. We spent the last 3 or 4 days of our holiday running to the toilet and couldnt wait to get home.â
Another holidaymaker reported falling sick during their stay after eating at one of the hotels speciality restaurants. Others took the decision to move hotels after experiencing lukewarm and undercooked food.
Anne Thomson, Head of Travel Law, commented: âWe have recently read numerous reports online of British holidaymakers falling ill on holiday at the Hotel Melia Marina Varadero.
âFood which is served lukewarm or undercooked is a common cause of illness on holiday. This may lead to holidaymakers suffering from gastroenteritis, which often results in symptoms including sickness, stomach cramps, and diarrhoea.
âIt is our hope that the tour operators and hotel management will carry out a full investigation into the food and hygiene standards at the Hotel Melia Marina Varadero.
