Gastro Outbreak at Resort - Beaches Ocho Rios, Ocho Rios St. Ann Parish

Old Main Road, Ocho Rios, St. Ann Parish, Jamaica

My entire party of 5 started experiencing significant gastrointestinal distress (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramping) on our second night here (planned 8/26-8/30 stay). The stay was a debacle from the start for other reasons but we were not told of the clear gastrointestinal infection spreading on the campus. We were informed by other staff that both vacationers and staff had contracted the illness. After being instructed to isolate for 24 further hours, we decided to leave and requested a refund. Clear safety hazard. I suspect possible Norovirus but not confirmed to my knowledge. Management stuck to the party line of “a few cases” *rolls eyes* | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Other, Gas, Cramps
