Nassau and The Bahamas · Added 2026-09-20

Nearly 100 guests and staff affected by a stomach bug at Sandals in 2018

Cable Beach, Nassau / New Providence · Added 2026-09-20

Nearly 100 guests and staff affected by a stomach bug at Sandals in 2018 A holiday illness cluster at Sandals Royal Bahamian affected nearly 100 people in August 2018, according to the health minister quoted by The Tribune. Guests and staff reported vomiting, nausea and diarrhea. Health and environmental teams visited the property after the ministry was notified on August 7. Officials said the early evidence pointed to a viral illness, not confirmed food poisoning. They ruled out a connection to the separate conch-poisoning outbreak and reported that cases had fallen as control measures were implemented. This is a historical outbreak report, not a warning that an outbreak is happening now.
