Norovirus Outbreak at Resort - Hotel Riu, Corralejo Canarias

s/n Avenida Corralejo Grandes Playas, Corralejo, 35660 Canarias, Spain

Beautiful location, really helpful reps, amazing A&E service in corralejo... In the first instance I had issues with coughing like crazy in the room - the doctor reviewed to be cracking on bronchial tubes brought on by potential allergies - timescale wise likely dust mites and air con issues unrelated to the further incident a couple of days later. Prescribed two inhalers to help. As I returned to the hotel room, three days into our holiday, I begun to feel very nauseous. This became worse as the night progressed and I threw up a number of times followed by an onset of diarrhoea and stomach pain. It appears after digging around that this hotel has had a number of outbreaks of the novovirus over a period of years! There were also other guests here complaining about a sickness bug to the reps so watch out. We haven't drunk anything except for the bottled water here except for a sip of their water which quite frankly was quite disgusting. We ate sensibly each morning and night. I swum in the pool only once before catching this and washed my hands regularly... I don't think I could have been more careful. The rep called to check in on me and asked to keep her updated. She said I could have a private doctor or for 150 euros. I said I would see how I faired today. I'm still sat in my room feeling rather drained and nauseous. Thankfully I have an amazing view of the sea and a bed to rest in. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Stomach Pain, Cough, Other
