Guests continue to suffer in illness outbreaks at RIU Vallarta

Illness outbreaks ongoing
Guests claim to have suffered from vomiting, diarrhoea, ear infections and bed bugs
Shocking food and pool hygiene standards described
Holidaymakers turn to YourHolidayClaims for legal advice

Just last week, a stricken British holidaymaker contacted YourHolidayClaims for help making aÂ claim for holiday illness in MexicoÂ after falling ill at the 550 room RIU Vallarta in Playa de Flamingos.

And now other afflicted holidaymakers have taken to review site TripAdvisor reporting to have suffered from stomach upsets, sickness, ear infections and bed bug bites during recent stays at the beachfront resort.

One disgruntled recent guest of the RIU Vallarta revealed:

âBoth me and my partner have been poorly with really bad sickness for over the duration of the holidayâ¦ this is either from the pool or the food.â

âThe adult swimming pool is disgusting and dirty! Your swim water when dry has a strong smell of urine and not even the slightest smell of chlorine at all.

âThe food has a very strange horrible taste to it!â

Another recently returned holidaymaker simply advises potential visitors âdont do itâ and catalogues an appalling list of hygiene failings:

âMy niece got a double ear infection and I got bacterial sinusitis from the pool, that gives you an idea of how clean it was.

âOur sheets werent changed despite numerous requests throughout our stayâ.

Reports of guests suffering from bed bug bites can also be found online with one afflicted holidaymaker from Durham bluntly labelling the hotel âthe dirtiest hotel I have stopped in!â

Our Head of Travel Laws opinion

âI am simply appalled that more holidaymakers have fallen ill at this resort.

âReports of illness at RIU Vallarta now stretch back over 6 months, to March 2016. At that time, I hoped that the hotel and tour operators would have conducted a full and thorough investigation in order to safeguard guests â this clearly does not appear to have happened.

âI strongly urge anyone who has been unfortunate enough to have been struck by illness on a package holiday within the last three years to contact either myself, or the dedicated team at YourHolidayClaims for expert legal advice.

âWe can advise you on the merits of your case and answer questions you may have regarding the process of making a claimâ.
