Concerns raised over food hygiene and hotel standards at the ClubHotel Riu Merengue

Families celebratory holiday devastated by illness
Father was ill on return home and is still feeling the effects three months on
Poor food and pool hygiene criticised by recent guests

Our travel law team regularly help holidaymakers claim compensation after illness in Dominican resorts and it appears that cases of illness have now affected the ClubHotel Riu Merengue.

Adrian and Lisa Race, had travelled to the ClubHotel Riu Merengue earlier this year with their two daughters to celebrate Mrs Races parents golden wedding anniversary. However the familys joy was short-lived, after they began to suffer from symptoms of diarrhoea, vomiting and a fever which ultimately overshadowed their long awaited break.

When commenting on the possible cause of his familys suffering, father and husband Adrian, 47, revealed that the food on offer at the resort sometimes tasted âout of dateâ and was left uncovered for a âsignificantâ amount of time.

Unfortunately, it seems that more holidaymakers have fallen ill after finding problems with the food served at the hotel.

One disgruntled holidaymaker who travelled to the ClubHotel Riu Merengue with a friend, took to the website TripAdvisor to voice their concerns and revealed:

âAt times we ended up skipping a meal or two [because] of how poor the food was. We were both ill during the time we were there.

âOverall I shall not be staying in this hotel againâ.

Our expert solicitors opinion

âIt is obviously disappointing to read reports of guests suffering illness during their stays at the ClubHotel Riu Merengue.

âHere at YourHolidayClaims, we have already helped numerous holidaymakers receive compensation after falling ill in the Dominican Republic. Our expert team is available to offer advice to anyone affected by illness on holiday on whether they may have a legal right to make a claimâ.
