Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting

Both my husband and myself became seriously ill with sickness (my husband), and diarrhoea (myself) within an hour of eating in a restaurant in the hotel. I have never experienced anything quite like it, and it has left us both really debilitated. As pensioners, we did not... See More expect o go away on a special holiday and become so poorly.

Vomiting, Nausea, Fever, Dizziness

1 year ago

We arrived on the 21st November and by the 23rd I had horrendous diarrhoea and nausea. I passed so much blood and was petrified I was dying. It was just uncontrollable for 2 days and I couldn’t go anywhere other than visiting the toilet 50 times a... See More day! I felt dizzy with a fever to. I am convinced it was from a burger that I eat at the pepes bbq. It completely ruined our holiday especially as I am breast feeding our 8 month old baby. We had to result in asking a fellow holidaymaker (lovely lady) to give us formula to feed the baby as I was far to poorly to feed the baby.
The next evening after still visiting the toilet for the 30th time that night I picked up my phone that was in the bathroom to be alarmed by a huge cockroach on it.
Such a disappointing holiday. I will never return to this place!!! | Symptoms: Vomiting, Nausea, Fever, Dizziness

We stayed at the Tui Blue Cabo Verde from 5th February 2024 until 19th February 2024

I became very ill, 2 days into the holiday, with violent stomach cramps, nausea, fever and diarrhoea it lasted for the whole holiday and I’m still waiting to recover ( I... See More have now been back 3 weeks) I’m currently waiting to get some treatment, as my doctor doesn’t know what to treat it with.

I concur with others, that glasses and cups in the room were not replenished with clean ones every day, my husbands bed sheets were changed with stained sheets. It was difficult to get tea, coffee and drinks at meal times. Water was only available from water fountains which were fed from the big blue bottles. Bottles of water were only replaced every two days. I do not drink alcohol and only drink water (sparkling or still)

In a nutshell my holiday has been ruined and I will never return to Cape Verde again. TUI have a duty of care to their customers and in my opinion they have not fulfilled their responsibility
The reps are only interested in selling overpriced island tours and activities. I have complained to TUI and have been told I will need to get a report from the doctor.

My motivation for leaving this review is to protect people from suffering how I am with this horrible poisoning. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Fever, Cramps
