“I am in punta Cana staying here, and I had arrived late on Friday night, and all they had was nachos out, got food poisoning from that, and then I had only eaten fruit because it was the only thing that was appealing to me, got a parasite from that.... See More Then had to driven by ambulance to the hospital here, the Centro Medico Punta Cana. I was then put on an IV drip for over 24 hours until I was able to keep food down. I still have three days left here and the food still makes me ill to look at. It was just me that got sick and I lasted from Friday and Saturday and most of Sunday until I was driven to the hospital. ”

“Pizza from main pool bar/restaurant 1 sick, symptoms started within 10-12 hours, nausea vomiting and diahrea ”

“Stayed at the hotel. Landed on Saturday, first symptoms began late Tuesday afternoon. Ate at the buffet Monday for Lunch, and a different buffet on Tuesday morning for breakfast. The following day the diarrhea started. We have only been drinking the bottled water, and brushing our teeth with bottled water... See More as well. Could have been the drinks we were served that came with ice/blended ice. Not sure, but it certainly sucks! ”

“Our group ate at Bavaro buffet for supper Feb 8, 2020. Middle of the night 3 members were up violently ill; vomiting, diarrhea, fever/chills that carried into the next day. Took them about 2 days to recover. Suspect it was either the mussels or beef steak contaminated. ”

“Arrived Jan 30, 2020 with a group of 11 adults. Second day into trip we spent the day at the side pool. Few of us had a tequila shot and mojito. Simultaneously, 5 of us became very ill. Vomiting, could not stand up, passing out and blacking out. We have... See More no memory of the rest of the day. Only thing I remember is being dragged up the stairs to my hotel room by life guard and other staff member. Thankfully, the members of the group who did not get affected ensured we were cared for. When I woke up, I had hot/cold flashes and vomited bile for the next 10hrs. ”

“We ate only at restaurants within the resort. I became ill after the Friday Dominican Buffett. Nothing tasted bad but it did include ceviche and fresh fruits. Symptoms were cramps, nausea, high fever and diarrhea. Felt somewhat better after about 24 hours but diarrhea persisted for 2 days and bloating... See More is still there after 3 days. My wife became ill about 12-18 hours after me with similar symptoms and vomiting. ”

Probable cause the ice..... water .... or from the buffet. The hotel paid for the doctor abd... See More medication at my insistence as the hotel was the cause. Wanted us to pay $2000 for hospital tests but refused. Still washed out ..... not happy as an expensive holiday. ”

“Eating from a restaurant. We went there for a meal. My hubby ordered a chicken and shrimp dish with fried rice. The chicken and shrimp was cooked at the table. When I tasted his dish the chicken tasted rotten. He thought it was just bland. He ate his meal. That... See More night he had a loose tummy several times and vomiting. ”

“I ordered a beef fajita chicken salad on Monday, January 27 at 12:30 pm for lunch. That is all I ate all day. I didn't have dinner, because at 5:30 I began feeling nauseaous. About an hour, I began vomiting and then vomiting and diarrhea. ”

“I had some chicken nuggets, half a burger, and fries there. Not too long after, about 3-4 hours, I started to show symptoms of food poisoning. I felt extremely nauseous, with chills running down my spine and mild abdominal pain. Then I vomited everything out.
I still feel nauseous even... See More when my stomach has been emptied. I hope this condition doesn't worsen. I have never went through such experience with them. This place will be a miss for me from now on. ”

“Mushroom pizza To start I’m not for sure it was the pizza. Here’s my story: I ate 3 pieces of mushroom pizza on Saturday afternoon, on Sunday I felt ok, on Monday morning when everything changed, I when I woke up and opened my eyes my vision was totally distorted... See More and my head was swimming. My vision was like my eyes were rapidly moving back and forth. This went on for about 30 seconds. I was terrified. I thought this was a stroke or something worse. Once that stopped and I could see normal I took a deep breath, and tried to calm down. My head was still swimming, but not as bad. I had Monday off(president’s day 2020) and as soon as I could I went to the dr. Everything checked out fine, blood pressure, heart, ears, etc, plus I had blood work done. All normal. (At this point I did not even think about the this having anywhere to do with the pizza.) The dr did tell me if the eye movements happened again I should see my eye dr. My head continued to have that swimming feeling most of the day. Tuesday night every time I woke up the eye movements happened. At 11:00, 2:30, 4:00, 5:00, and 2 more times where I didn’t open my eyes, but I could feel it. Once that stopped I got up and the swimming feeling stayed with me off and on all day, but wasn’t as intense as Monday. By Tuesday afternoon I went to eye dr, and his summary was it was not my eyes at all, it was in my brain, and said to see a neurologist ASAP. On Tuesday night the swimming seemed to have considerably slowed down, and I was starting to feel normal again. Wednesday night I slept well, with no more eye movements, and I felt almost normal all day! I was so relieved, but I still was going to see a neurologist. I was feeling so good, that I ate 2 more pieces of the mushroom pizza, I froze the leftovers. On Thursday morning my symptoms started all over again! The morning eye movements, the swimming head, it all came back! That’s when I realized that both times I had eaten the pizza. And besides the pizza on Wednesday I had hardly eaten anything, my anxiety has been bad all week and I just wasn’t hungry. So besides the pizza, I had only eaten oatmeal, and some fruit, and crackers. So Friday I’m back to normal again! Two times I ate pizza, two incidents! I’m going to neurologist next Friday, and I’m hoping I have no more incidents, this is Saturday morning and I’m still feeling normal. Was it the Pizza?? Should I have it checked?? Can food do this to your brain, without any other typical food poisoning symptoms?? I want answers, this has been a scary week. BTW I am, and always have been a very healthy person. I’ve never been on any medication, no smoking, drinking, and I’m a 69 yr old female vegetarian.  ”

“Grandmas pickles I ate a pickle. Then I went to chop up to to put in some deviled eggs I was making I noticed one was all slimy and full of white yuck. I did not eat any more. About eight and a half hours later I was throwing up... See More violently throughout the night and I went to the ER. Annoyingly my friend ate a pickle from the same jar the week before and had the same results. It was about 9 hours after ate ”

“Ate a taco and a veggie tostada which were served with lettuce, cream, and cheese around 8pm. Experienced the worst poisoning of my life due to the complete negligence of the staff in serving unrefrigerated and/or old food. Pretty much lived at the toilet the entire night and puked absolutely... See More everything in the morning. I’m still out of commission and feel I will be for the next few days. Two others who accompanied experienced similar symptoms throughout the night. AVOID this place at all costs, DO NOT risk catching a nightmare at this place because of their lack of sanitation and care. ”

“I was here in August 2019. I had breakfast which had Halloumi. I never completely figured out why I got so sick. I had never felt this sick in my entire life. Beautiful place to eat, but never again. They can’t even keep their cheese fresh. ”

“Last month my husband and I went there during Restaurant week and we ordered the calamari as our appetizer. We both were sick the next day, with all of the above symptoms. (didnt associate it to being the calamari because we ea there often). We had family members in town... See More this past weekend and we took them there. Again, ordered the calamari and everyone is sick with the same symptoms after eating the calamari. My husband called the restaurant this morning and was asked did we order the calamari!!!!!!!!!!!!! Was told we were the 3rd complaint regarding getting sick after eating the calamari . They took down our number to call us back???????? ”
