Holiday makers staying at a hotel in Torremolinos, Spain have again fallen prey to a major outbreak of illness, only weeks after hundreds of former guests succeeded in their claims for personal injury compensation, resulting in a total payout of around £2.5 million. 

Reports of the latest outbreak saw guests staying at the hotel during January and February 2008 suffering with illness, including gastric complaints, severe diarrhoea and vomiting.

Allegations have been made of poor hygiene conditions at the hotel, including reports that undercooked food was left out for long periods of time.  Holiday makers also indicated that the floor of the restaurant was dirty.
