We went to an the mid December 2017 with a group of 5 families. Almost everyone got sick. Some got sick as soon as they got there. My daughter was really sick for several days. I was one of the lucky ones, didn't fall ill until I … See More
got back from the states, and spent my new years weekend in bed. I've had food poisoning before, but this one was the most awful. I've also traveled to internationally before, such as Mexico, Italy, Germany, China, Taiwan, The Bahamas, Bermuda, Aruba, etc. I've never been as sick as in this trip. Something is wrong with this island, despite it's beauty. Maybe it's the water. Would never go back.  | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Fever

the doctor sent me to the hospital and I was diagnosed with a parasite infection and later an abscess caused by the diarrhoea which required 5 days in hospital & surgery! Moral of the story don’t eat the salad as it maybe washed in local water which is where we were told you can catch the parasite.  | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Fever

I got home from vacation at the Riu in Punta Cana on Saturday afternoon. On Sunday morning I had diarrhea and was not feeling well. On Sunday around 8pm I started to feel extremely nauseous and a half an hour later I was violently vomiting. I spent … See More
the entire night by the toilet vomiting. If I took so much as a sip of water it came right back up. I was vomiting every 10 to 20 minutes until 7:30 am and I still haven't been able to eat anything. I can't say exactly what made me sick but I did eat at the buffet often and did have mixed drinks by the pool. I know that I did not get sick from home because the only thing I ate here before my symptoms started was a frozen pizza. I had a great time on my vacation but I will never ever ever go back due to how sick I got. I have never felt so awful in all of my life.  | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Nausea, Vomiting
