A daughter who took her mother on holiday to the Dominican Republic had her holiday ruined when the pair became violently ill after eating at the hotel. The trip was supposed to be a treat after what had been a hard year; instead the ‘disgraceful’ conditions at the Luperon Beach Resort in Playa Grande left a number of guests so ill they were attempting reschedule flights to get home early.

A couple who had their honeymoon in the Dominican Republic ruined after the husband contracted salmonella and amoebic dysentery, have won the compensation from the tour operator.

The couple were staying at the five star Gran Bahia Principe Hotel where the husband fell ill. The husband was hospitalised and their return to the UK was delayed by a week. After returning home the husband still suffered from the after effects of the infection by feeling regularly exhausted and weight loss.
