Holidaymakers ”Mauled” by Bed Bug Infestations at RIU Touareg, Cape Verde
We are currently representing British holidaymakers who returned from the RIU Touareg resort in Boa Vista, Cape Verde, suffering from bed bug bites. Since the start of 2025, we’ve seen a growing number of reports from guests whose holidays were disrupted by unsanitary conditions, painful bites, allergic reactions, and a lack of proper pest control from the hotel.
Affected holidaymakers who have recently returned from RIU Tourareg have also turned to TripAdvisor to air their concerns and warn others of their experiences:
Sylvia commented: “Bed bugs have ruined my experience—my arms are all in bites and I have an allergic reaction. I actually saw the bed bug drinking my blood when I woke up at night. I killed it and brought it to reception in a tissue.”
Sylvia had travelled with her 2-year-old son. Despite being moved to a different room, she reported that the hotel only offered temporary fixes, using ineffective spray treatments rather than addressing the infestation properly.
Martin H, another guest who left a review in April 2025, said: “We as a family have been mauled by bed bugs… We took photos of the bed headboard which was crawling with bugs. When we returned in the evening, nothing had been done. We spoke to many other people with the same issues.”
These are not isolated complaints. We’ve heard from multiple individuals who’ve suffered in similar ways who have since taken legal action to pursue bed bug bite claims with our help.
