One 18-year-old woke up to a horrendous reality after one or two drinks with her cousin on a family holiday in Tenerife. The next day she was smattered with bruises after a night of projectile vomiting.
A make-up artist from Northern Ireland lived through a true horror story while on a family holiday in Tenerife.
Suzy O’Neill went missing for almost an hour and remembers nothing that happened, waking up to a terrifying reality.
Then just 18-years-old when she and her cousin went on a night out that ended in violent vomiting, memory loss and bruises all over her body. Suzy warned fellow holiday-makers that she has had her “fair share of not nice experiences in Tenerife.”
Suzy said “We had had like two drinks I think and next thing I woke up at the side of the road.” Her cousin said she “was missing for basically an hour I could not be found – she was freaking out.” Suzy told her 2,872 TikTok followers: “I’m not like that – like you wouldn’t just lose me like that I’d be with someone I would not go off on my own.”

Then she woke up to a horrific and terrifying sight. She said: “I woke up and this man was standing over me and I was like what the f*** is going on and I was freaking out. He wasn’t really speaking English and then my cousin heard the commotion and came running.”
Her cousin asked her where she had been and Suzy replied “What do you mean where have I been – what the f*** has happened to me?”
That night she was “violently ill” and her dad had to put her on her side and watch her throughout the night. She said the next day she was “covered in bruises.”
She added: “I was projectile vomiting in my sleep but I refused to go to the hospital. I think the reason I was so scared of going to the hospital is that I was so scared that they would tell me that I’d been spiked or this that or the other had happened.”
For the rest of the holiday she stayed close by her dad’s side because she was “terrified”. She added: “I feel like also something that’s not something that’s not spoke about is really how unsafe Tenerife is sometimes – it can be a very dangerous – it’s a lovely place but it also can be very dangerous.”
She said in another instance a man “latched onto my arm and wouldn’ t let me go” in broad daylight in Tenerife. She said he asked in broken English where she was staying, adding he was “very strange”.
She added: “One night I vividly remember sitting in a kebab shop and I caught this man’s attention and he wouldn’t leave. He was standing outside the kebab shop heavily breathing.” In another instance she was a man arrested in a bar and he bit the police man.
