Their dream holiday turned into a nightmare when the Parkin family found themselves in the hospital. Holly Parkin, a 27-year-old mother of three, had saved up for a luxurious trip to Turkey with her partner, Matthew Morris, and their children Kaidan, Mireya-Grace, and Amelia. The family was excited for their all-inclusive eight-day getaway at the five-star Granada Luxury Belek Hotel, which cost them a total of £3,777.21.
Unfortunately, their holiday took a turn for the worse when Holly's partner and all three children fell ill with suspected food poisoning on just their second full day at the hotel. The family was left bedridden, with only Holly remaining unaffected. Amelia and Kaidan, both of whom have autism, struggled to cope with the illness and were miserable for five days. The family had to cut their trip short and return home, but the children's illness persisted for another 15 days, with Mireya-Grace requiring hospitalization and an IV drip.
Holly shared that the experience was heartbreaking for her and her children. They were traumatized and never wanted to go on holiday again. It was a once-in-a-lifetime trip that they had saved up for, but it turned into a nightmare. The family's first holiday together ended in chaos.
Holly recalled that the hotel initially seemed great, and the staff even prepared some food for them upon their late-night arrival. The next day, they enjoyed the pool and evening entertainment, but it all changed when her partner and children were suddenly bedbound the following morning. They experienced severe symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting, and Holly had to constantly change the bedsheets.
Her eldest daughter, Amelia, believed they had caught a travel bug and advised the family to isolate themselves in their room to avoid infecting other guests. However, Holly suspected that the food served in the buffet may have been the culprit, as they had all eaten similar dishes before falling ill.
Upon their return to the UK, Holly booked a GP appointment and was given sample bottles to test her children's stool. However, when her youngest child, Mireya-Grace, developed a persistent rash, Holly called for an ambulance and they were taken to the hospital. The doctors ran tests, but the results were inconclusive. Holly shared that she contacted the hotel and Loveholidays, but they were not able to look into the matter without medical documentation.
Loveholidays has since reached out to Holly and requested the necessary documents to support her claim for compensation. The hotel has also been contacted for comment. The family's dream holiday may have turned into a nightmare, but they are determined to get to the bottom of what caused their illness and seek justice for their traumatic experience.
