Never been ill on holiday before as we careful when we eat, only drink bottled water, don't put my face in the pool.
We both had Severe Diarrhoea, Vomiting & stomach cramps for 2-3 days after going to the Italian ala … See More
carte restaurant. We were just started to improve, then got it again 5 days later, after going to the main buffet restaurant which was so bad I couldn't leave the room. Eating at the restaurant felt like Russian roulette.
Reported it to the TUI Rep, but he just wasn't interested. Reported it to RUI, but never got a response.
We heard of others who were sick too.
There was a rat in the Hallway to our room on the second day we were there.
Then there was a Cockroach on the salad bar in the main restaurant on next to last day, so didn't eat in the restaurant after that.  | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Vomiting, Cramps

After staying at the RIU Cabo Verde Hotel for 3 days, my husband and I developed gastrointestinal problems, although we paid attention to hygiene and bottled drinking water.

My partner and I are currently in a suite in the Hilton in Sal, Cape Verde, both of us have suspected food poisoning, horrible stomach cramps and sickness/diarrhoea. Our guess is the ice cubes in the drinks, we haven't eaten/drank outside the hotel.  | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Vomiting, Cramps

I had the same symptoms same resort but different hotel back in April. I think the ice cubes are safe but I did have quite a few drinks with ice the night before I was I'll. Do make sure you see a doctor and get a report as I couldn't make a claim against tour operator as they insisted on an official medical report.

Suggest get tested for shigella which is a notifiable illness. It is rife on the island and can make you very ill indeed. Its a result of poor hygiene caused by infected faeces in the food chain. It can cause long term issues so it's not just a holiday bug and so not to be taken lightly.
Hope you are feeling better soon.

My daughter tested positive (in a blood test done at a clinic) for salmonella after a week of eating only the food from the hotel. He has diarrhea, vomiting, headaches, muscle aches, and fever. Clinitur, which has a medical center inside the Riu hotel itself and a … See More
clinic in Santa Maria, did not detect the salmonella and when I made a complaint I didn't want to know about the case. He totally ignored it and they didn't take action. I had to go to a clinic that has nothing to do with the hotel to get the diagnosis. I complained to the health police station. I await follow-up.  | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Fever, Headache, Muscle Pain
