Unsanitary washrooms, unsafe food handling practices, unrelenting stomach pains, vomiting and diarrhea: these are some of the complaints being reported about popular Canadian vacations destinations in Cuba promoted and operated by Sunwing Vacations of Toronto.
"It's very severe, and I am struggling a week later," said Amanda Klein of Medicine Hat, Alta., who recently returned from Cuba and says she is still experiencing stomach problems.
Klein, 26, spent a week with her boyfriend and two other Canadian couples at the Memories Paraiso Azul Beach Hotel in Cayo Santa Maria, Cuba between Jan. 5 and 12.
But within days of the Canadians' arrival, Klein says five of the six guests were violently ill with vomiting and diarrhea.
Klein says the group stopped eating at the all-inclusive resort-which they booked through Sunwing Vacations-after witnessing troubling food-handling practices.
"Numerous staff put their hands in food, licked their hands and put their hands in the food we were supposed to eat," she said.
She said her group became alarmed when they watched staff members clearing tables in the buffet restaurant.
"They would collect the dirty dishes from the tables, and if it looked like they weren't used, then left them on the table," Klein told Global News, adding many of the dishes were dirty.
In 2015, Global News reported extensively on illnesses at the resort that affected Canadian vacationers. Last week, visitors to the Memories resort and certain other Cuba resorts began reporting sickness similar to those that were documented last year.

Yep, with the low Canadian dollar exchange rate, choices are limited to foreign ghetto vacations. That’s one cheap currency.
Only banana republic loving libs would choose Cuba as a vacation spot. Glad they found out what a great place it is.
Does Cuba buy Mexican produce like Chipotle?
Who wouldn’t want to vacation at a gulag ?
