FAMILY HOLIDAY RUINED
BY ILLNESS AT THE
GARDENIA PLAZA RESORT
“THEY HAD A FILTHY BATHROOM THAT SMELLED OF SEWAGE”
[ezcol_1third]
[/ezcol_1third] [ezcol_1third]Mr G was disgusted with the state of the hotel and the standard of food. He said most of the food seemed stale, the bread was hard, the rice seemed re-heated and the majority of the drinks tasted watered down. Mr G had to move hotel rooms 3 times because they were all of such a bad standard. One room was full of cockroaches, one room had a filthy bathroom that smelled of sewage and in another the majority of the plug sockets weren’t working.[/ezcol_1third] [ezcol_1third_end]Mr G became ill just 2 days after his arrival with severe diarrhoea and vomiting, his wife and child’s illness shortly followed. On the 3rd day Mr G rang his tour operator to move hotels but they weren’t interested and didn’t help. Mr G and his family stayed at the Gardenia Plaza for 5 nights because they were too ill to make other arrangements. Once feeling slightly better they were able to move.[/ezcol_1third_end]
HOLIDAYMAKER ON IV DRIPS
AFTER FALLING ILL AT
THE GARDENIA PLAZA RESORT
“THE TOILET WAS LEAKING SEWAGE…”
[ezcol_1third]
[/ezcol_1third] [ezcol_1third]When Miss T arrived at the hotel she got put in a room which was full of cockroaches, therefore she asked to be moved to a different room, and there she was greeted with the smell of sewage. The toilet had a leak of sewage which they had to clean up themselves using their own towels and linen, even though it was reported to the hotel reception. The shower door was hanging off its hinges as were the curtains in the bedroom, the mattress was stained and ripped and the air conditioning was blowing out warm air with a bad odour. Miss T ended up buying her own cups to drink out of around the hotel as the ones provided at the bars were filthy.[/ezcol_1third] [ezcol_1third_end]The food was under-cooked and served in a filthy restaurant. Miss T got such severe vomiting and diarrhoea she had to be put on a drip in her hotel room for 2 days. Not wanting to be dramatic Miss T said she felt that bad and drained she felt like she was dying! She was put on the drip in the morning then had it taken out at night. The doctor came around the following morning to put her back on it, this time the cannula snapped in her arm when it was being inserted. When Miss T complained about this traumatic holiday to the tour operator they sent her a letter of apology but no form of compensation. [/ezcol_1third_end]
TRIP ADVISOR REVIEWS
“The room was filthy with yellow stains all over the bathroom walls and the shower curtain was moldy”
Review of the Gardenia Plaza Resort
I really don’t know where to start! We have never felt more stressed returning from a holiday than before leaving. The restaurant was awful, serving half cooked and cold food. A lot of guests were ill with many of them ending up on drips for 24 hours. All the guests we spoke to were complaining about the rooms, illness and the food.
“This hotel as previously been on watchdog for SERIOUS HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUES”
Review of the Gardenia Plaza Resort
First impressions were very good but the reality was dirty smelly rooms and a main restaurant that was filthy. We reported lots of things to our rep, but he was a waste of time. Holiday from hell!
