Reports of suspected food poisoning have been received from holidaymakers who stayed at the Grand Palladium Colonial Resort and Spa in Mexico.
The Grand Palladium, featured by UK tour operator First Choice is situated on Playa Kantenah Beach and has many facilities: 13 restaurants including 5 buffet restaurants and 8 a la carte; 7 swimming pools; 6 tennis courts and watersports.
On review site TripAdvisor, one user stated: âOver half of our group had stomach viruses lasting up to 3 days. Hand sanitizer was mandatory at breakfast buffets but there were no dispensers at á lá cartes nor beach buffetsâ.
In a separate review, another TripAdvisor user complains the food was a âdisasterâ. Â She continues, âBreakfast fruit is flavourless, juice is not fresh. The 24 hour bar offers hamburgers with dry buns and frozen patties, served on Styrofoam plates.â
Another TripAdvisor user criticises the 5 star rating âas 2 star at bestâ.
Experienced holiday claims solicitor Tracy Stansfield, commented on the case: Â âIts devastating to hear of sickness ruining peoples holidays, a time people most look forward to.â
âI trust that First Choice and the hotel management learn from these errors and resolve them with immediate effect. It is imperative that food preparation and hygiene practices are maintained to the highest standard. If there are breakdowns in the procedures this is when outbreaks of illness can occur.â
Are you still on holiday at the Grand Palladium Colonial Resort & Spa? If so:
- Seek prompt medical attention ensuring you receive a copy of your medical records.
- Keep receipts for anything you purchase in relation to your illness.
- Report the issue to the representative and the hotel and take a copy of your complaint.
If you have returned and are still suffering illness:
- Book an appointment to see your GP and provide a stool sample if asked to do so.
- Seek legal advice from one of our holiday illness experts.
- Do not accept any compensation offered by your tour operator. They often undervalue claims and if you attempt to deal with them directly, you may accept a woefully inadequate offer.
