A total of 36 people were struck down with gastric symptoms while on holiday at the Jaz Aquamarine hotel between January and October in 2019.

Of these, eight people were diagnosed with salmonella, one with the stomach bug giardiasis, and one with a strain of E.coli and the associated bacterial infection shigella.

Four of the holidaymakers were hospitalised – one in Egypt and three on their return to the UK. All had booked their holiday through Tui.

Irwin Mitchell, which has experience in representing holidaymakers affected by illness, including dozens who have previously stayed at this hotel in 2016, 2017 and 2018, are now pursing legal action through the courts.
