More than 300 guests at the Sandos Playacar Hotel may be victims of a mass poisoning incident. An Argentine tourist, vacationing with his family, alleges that the poisoning occurred after consuming a beverage at the hotel.
According to the tourist, he and his family have been experiencing severe vomiting and diarrhea for two days. When they reported their symptoms to the hotel management, they were referred to a local doctor. The doctor's only advice was to avoid drinking any beverages served in a glass.
The Argentine tourist also suggested that the number of affected individuals could be much higher, potentially around 300, as many other guests have reported similar symptoms. He expressed frustration at the lack of clear guidance on where to report the incident or seek appropriate medical care.
The tourist also stated that the hotel has not taken responsibility for the situation and has not offered any further assistance to those affected. As of now, the Sandos Playacar Hotel has not released an official statement about the incident. Meanwhile, tourists are left seeking answers and medical help to deal with this distressing situation.
