British Holidaymaker Contracts Cryptosporidium at Long Beach Hotel, Turkey

At Holiday Claims Bureau, we are currently representing a British family of four who contracted Cryptosporidium, a parasitic infection, during their stay at the Long Beach Hotel in Antalya, Turkey. This illness, often spread through contaminated water or food, can cause severe gastrointestinal symptoms and have a lasting impact on a person’s health and well-being. We have also previously represented other holidaymakers affected by similar illnesses at this resort in 2023 and 2024.

We urge anyone who has stayed at this hotel and experienced similar symptoms to contact us as soon as possible.

What is Cryptosporidium and How is it Contracted?

Cryptosporidium is a microscopic parasite that can infect the intestines and cause an illness known as cryptosporidiosis. It is typically contracted by swallowing contaminated water – such as from swimming pools or through consuming food washed in contaminated water. The infection can lead to symptoms such as diarrhoea, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, and fever, sometimes lasting for several weeks.

Public health experts emphasise that hotel swimming pools, buffet foods, and inadequate hygiene standards are among the most common sources of exposure for holidaymakers abroad.

Legal Response

Oliver Linton, our legal representative at Holiday Claims Bureau, said: “Our client suffered considerable discomfort and distress after contracting Cryptosporidium while staying at the Long Beach Hotel. Incidents like this are completely avoidable when hotels maintain appropriate hygiene and safety standards. We are committed to ensuring our client receives the justice and compensation they deserve. Unfortunately, we continue to see similar cases arising from popular Turkish resorts, and we urge any affected holidaymakers to come forward.”

Mr Linton added: “Holidaymakers place their trust in hotels and tour operators to ensure safe, hygienic conditions. When that trust is breached, we step in to hold those responsible accountable and help our clients recover both financially and emotionally from their ordeal.”
