Your Holiday Claims have helped a family of 4 from Sonning in Reading secure £6,240 in a settlement with EasyJet after their stay at the Sea Garden Resort, Sharm el Sheikh was ruined by serious gastric illness.
Carys and Simon Grange booked a 10 night stay for late October 2014 at the Sea Garden Resort, Nabq bay, hoping to enjoy a family holiday with their two boys, Samuel and Benjamin.
Sharing facilities with its two sister hotels; the Sea Club and Sea Life, the Sea Garden Resort boasts a host of amenities including 2 tennis courts, 2 football pitches, a private beach and a shopping arcade.
Yet for the ill-fated Grange family there was little chance to enjoy the promised four-star attractions as serious gastric illness left them in agony for much of their stay.
Speaking to the experts at Your Holiday Claims, Carys recalls with disgust that âthe food was seriously below standard: it was often served lukewarm and it became obvious that they reused leftover food from one meal to the next.
âFlies were allowed to swarm over the reheated foods and there was even a cat roaming the bar and a la carte restaurant area,â Carys continued.
Just 3 days into their stay Carys began to suffer crippling stomach cramps accompanied by vomiting and diarrhoea that was to last for the remainder of the holiday.
Simon was next to suffer from the debilitating gastric illness followed quickly by his 2 sons Samuel and Benjamin.
The family suffered so severely that each member of the stricken family required medical attention during their stay.
Exhausted and still suffering unpleasant illness symptoms, the family returned home at the close of their ruined holiday significantly drained. Incredibly, Carys and Simon were to continue to suffer from repeat outbreaks of illness for almost 4 months and claim that they only returned to their pre-holiday state of health in mid-January 2015.
