Over 60 tourists sent to hospital with gastroenteritis after stay at Costa del Sol hotel

OVER 60 tourists have been sent to hospital with gastroenteritis following a stay at a Costa del Sol hotel over the past three weeks.

Hotel MarConfort in Torremolinos claim the outbreak could be due to dirty water tanks collecting bacteria at the Hospital Maritimo next door.

It comes after the hotel received a wave of complaints with holidaymakers suffering symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea and fever, since July 20.

The hotel has called for an investigation to determine whether the water tanks are the cause of the nasty sickness.
