Stayed at this hotel and travelled with Thompson Holidays from the 19th Sept – 3rd Oct 2008. I got severe stomach cramps and the runs from day 3 for the rest of the holiday. My fella got it a few days after me and he is Mr Iron Guts! Two nights I actually thought I was going to pass out as my tummy was that bad and I cried on the last night cause I was so upset about it all! We could not go on any of the trips or into the town cause we had to know there was a toilet near us all the time within running distance as we were only getting about a 30 second warning if you know what I mean!!! A few nights he was up all night with it as well but I only had it during the day thank god! Complained to the rep on the last night cause it’s not got enough for the amount of money we spent to go there! She didnt think it was anything to do with the hotel though! I tried to publish this exact same review on the Tompson website but they have not published it – what does that tell you? Read More
