Student nurse, 22, claims she was left 'starving and begging for water' in Majorca quarantine hotel
Daily MailA student nurse who tested positive for Covid-19 before flying home from Majorca has claimed she's been left 'starving and begging for water' in a Spanish quarantine hotel. Her story comes just days after fellow Brit Cameron Moir, 22, from Tile Hill, Coventry, also alleged his stay at Hotel Palma Bellver was 'worse than a prison' after he was left without food for 24 hours and accused staff of rationing basic supplies such as paracetamol and bottled water. Sophie added that fellow guests have become so desperate they've resorted to making pulley systems out of bedsheets to get supplies to each other, and claimed she'd rather be in prison Sophie spent a week on the Balearic Island with a friend following a tough few months during which she lost her partner Speaking about why she travelled to Spain, which is currently on the UK's amber list, meaning double vaccinated travellers aren't required to quarantine on their return but must take a private Covid test before the flight home, she explained: 'I lost my partner a few months ago, so I've come on holiday with my friend and her little girl just to get away really, just to have a break and clear my head.' Sophie claimed staff at the hotel failed to check on her condition, despite her positive test, and said food she did receive was 'freezing cold' Hotel Palma Bellver said the facility is being run more like a hospital than a hotel and as a result, food is being served by hospital catering, with water available upon request Sophie claims there is no laundry service at the hotel, so she's been washing her underwear in the sink, and said other guests are passing food and drinks to each other using bed sheets tied together to make a rope. Hotel Palma Bellver said the facility is being run more like a hospital than a hotel and as a result, food is being served by hospital catering, with water available upon request.
