A mum and daughter claimed they were left suffering severe stomach illness and bed bug bites from a resort that ruined their dream Caribbean TUI holiday. Leanne Dowding, 39, and her daughter Casey Chalk, 19, stayed in a five star hotel in the Dominican Republic with 14 other family members.
But it was claimed three in the group fell ill with gastric symptoms including stomach cramps, vomiting and diarrhoea. The family said they discovered other holidaymakers at the Grand Sirenis Resort in Punta Cana also suffered similar symptoms.
Some of the family also reported suffering bed bug bites and others staying at the resort also fell ill, according to lawyers representing the pair. Ms Dowding, a customer service advisor, said she still suffers the effects of the mystery illness nearly six months later, including stomach cramps.
