Trouble in paradise? Kuredu Island Resort, Maldives - holiday illness and sickness

By Simon Weilding in Holiday Accident and Travel Claims on Monday, October 12, 2009

I am hearing of British tourists reportedly contracting gastric illness at the Kuredu Island Resort, Lhaviyani Atoll in the Maldives.  This all-inclusive 383 room resort is popular with UK travellers and the idyllic location makes it a favourite for honeymoons and other special occasions.

However holidaymakers returning recently report large numbers of guests and indeed staff affected with food poisoning symptoms of diarrhoea, fever and vomiting.  It would appear this has been ongoing for some weeks and some guests have contracted Salmonella (an infection usually stemming from undercooked / raw eggs and meat).

I would be interested to hear from any other holidaymakers that have suffered similar problems at this resort.

If you have suffered from illness / food poisoning whilst abroad, then call our specialist litigation solicitors for immediate advice.

Call our travel litigation solicitors on 0800 0384 384 during business hours and a specialist holiday accident, holiday illness or holiday sickness claim solicitor can review your compensation claim for free while you are on the phone. If you prefer you can contact us by e-mail.

Returned from Kuredu on 11th October 2009 after a fortnight. Was ill after the 1st week there, severe stomach cramps, nausea and diarrhoea. I have been home for 6 days now and am still very unwell. I am having tests to try and establish the problem and my G P has put me on anti-biotics as I have lost 10lbs in 6 days.
