A Toronto man and his family are filing a $10-million lawsuit after his wife and eight-year-old son fell ill and died from food poisoning while staying at a resort in the Dominican Republic.

As someone who gets a laugh whenever a Sunwing vacation fail becomes newsworthy (like clockwork it seems), this one is truly sad and upsetting *(it’s Transat this time). I looked up the resort and the first result was tripadvisor, and if you filter to by one star, it’s just illness after illness. It’s kind of mind boggling how places like this can be recommended by travel agents/charters, surely there must be some form of quality control?

The problem with resorts is that they’re expensive, so if someone pays for a trip, they’re going no matter what. So you get guests with super contagious infections, and then everyone gets it.

There are things resorts can do to better mitigate the damages, but if someone with Norovirus decides they’re going to spend the day at the swim up bar, a lot of people are going to get sick.

If a resort is open long enough, their reviews will eventually contain a week or two of people who all got sick.

It’s also possible that food handling is not done safely and all manner of other things, but that’s hard to distinguish when looking at reviews.

that’s hard to distinguish when looking at reviews.

Perhaps if the reviews are time concentrated or not?

Because the gravel agent gets money, they don’t care from who
