When one member of a family tested positive for Covid on a sunshine break to Greece, they had to move out of their luxury hotel to a cockroach-infested room
Yulia Brill’s £4,500 package holiday on the Greek island of Rhodes turned into a nightmare on just the third day when her eight-year-old son felt unwell. He tested positive for Covid-19 and the family of four was moved from their five-star hotel to a room in a government quarantine hotel for 14 days.
“The hotel was on the flightpath to the island with planes flying metres overhead every eight minutes,” she said. “The room was filthy with dirt on all surfaces, lines of ants marching all over the floor among the hair of previous guests, and there were cockroaches in the bathroom. The drains were blocked and stank. There was no bottled water, cutlery or crockery.
