Eingang Javilla, 32000 Samaná, Dominican Republic

“My family ( a group of 20+ guests) traveled to Grand Bahia Principe Cayacoa in Samana,Dr last July 20,2018. We were there for a wedding. I was very cautious to stay away from eating meats, dairy, seafood . My husband and son did the same. On our fifth and last... See More day, my son developed a fever. He was in pain. My son was 1.5 years old at the time. When we got back to the hotel room and actually checked his temperature with a thermometer it was 106.3!!! He began having febrile convulsions due to the hightemp. I have him Pedialyte through a syringe and Tylenol to get the fever to drop. I put him in the shower to cool down and called the front desk to help us. They said they could call a local doctor, he would charge us $300 for consultation ( aside from any charges for medication etc) and the resort itself had a charge for calling him. At 2am I demanded the resort manager to shuttle us to the hospital. After being at the hospital for what seemed like forever they sent us to pick up oral electrolytes from a 24 hr pharmacy since they did not have IVs. We flew out the next morning back home and drove straight to the hospital. My son's fever was 104.9 at this point , 17 hours later he was vomiting profousely. He was admitted to the hospital for three days. A bunch of tests came back inconclusive . They said he definitely had a virus of some kind but not one that they had tested. Scariest time of our life. They told us that the fever that high could cause permanent brain damage and the febrile seizures are the bodies response to that. Wow. On top of that the 20+ people we were with constantly were all complaining of diaarreah fevers and vomiting. Some of our family we only saw for the wedding day because they were stuck in their rooms sick. Horrible place we will NEVER go back. I never wrote about this before because I wanted to put it past us but if I could save another family from the night mare that I experienced I will! ”

“My wife and Inlaws all became sick at this resort on our last day staying there. I've never puked so much in my life. All 4 of us started feeling it sometime after a lunch buffet. It took 2 days to get a clean room that wasn't covered in mold.... See More The resort needs a serious cleaning on all fronts. Air conditioners not working... and much more. I wouldn't recommend this resort at all. ”

“Possibly food 2 out of 4 of us were very sick. Day 4 of our week stay was the beginning of the 48 hour illness. Symptoms for both teenagers were severe diarrhea , vomiting, fatigue, short fever and short headache. A physician came to our room to assist the first...

“My fiance and I both got terrible food poisoning diariah fever chills from our stay. For him it was the night of the hibachi dinner. For me it was one day later. And it was terrible!
Fever, aches, diarrhea, nausea, tired, cramps. ”

“5 days into our holiday three out of four of our family members woke in the middle of night with severe diarrhea, vomiting and stomach cramps, lasted the rest of our holiday. did not do any excursions or leave the resort at any point. ”

“Myself and eight others got sick on our 7 day vacation. Super upsetting but all of us had diarrhoea, vomiting and stomach pains. We ate at the same buffets and lost two days of vacation. NONE of us drank the water only bottled. The food at this resort looks disgusting... See More and there was no lids...flies were consistently on the food. We were even asked to NOT flush our toilet paper...disgusting and not sanitary. Please don’t go to this resort. I have written reviews on the site so hopefully others can be aware. ”

“Me and eight others got sick at this resort. Even some neighbours got sick. It must have been the food or water. The buffets food was disgusting there. ”

“I purchased 3 pizzas in city of Colton on Friday 13, 2020 around 820pm. My children and I ate the pizza but not all of it. Within minutes our stomachs started hurting and now all of us have diarrhea with nausea. ”

“My stomach started swelling and aching about 20 minutes after I ate one can of Amy's Lentil soup during a late lunch. The pain was so bad I was curled up on the floor crying. The nausea started about 20 minutes after the pain and I started vomiting soon after... See More that. My body wouldn't stop vomiting until every trace of the soup was gone. Vomited 8 times with soup coming out every 2 minutes, then dry heaves twice, then vomited 2 more times with bile and small amounts of soup. Never had this in my life. ”

“My husband ate the lobster , shrimp and crab cake meal with asparagus  We ate went to the Hilton across from the restaurant went to bed and noticed a few hrs later he threw up in the garbage can and wouldn’t stop and like every hr all the night or... See More any chance he kept throwing up and then starting running off really bad . I ate a pasta with steak n grilled shrimp in it but I feel ok  ”

“chicken wings the chicken bone was half covered in a blue/ green mold of some sort sent them back the restaurant offered a free box of chicken which I most definitely didn't accept :/ symptoms started around 3 this morning ”

“Chicken fro My son and I got sick  we brought chicken from the deli and it taste like chemicals it burn my mouth was burning like lighter fluid was on my mouth last for hours and hours and made us both dizzy and light headed I’ve had diarrhea and vomiting... See More my son was treated for vomiting we both have headaches I still have one now dehydrated  ”

“I ordered a large original crust pizza half pepperoni and half sausage. When I got home and ate a few slices I started feeling nauseous so I laid down. Not even 3 mins. After I laid down I got up and ran to the bathroom. I started having watery and... See More runny bowel movements. I had diarrhea for about 10 mins. Straight. As I stood up after I wiped myself I got dizzy and vomited. After I vomited I was too weak to get up but felt my stomach hurting so I wiped the seat as much as possible before I quickly sat back down to pass diarrhea again. I was feeling bad for about 20 more mins. As I could not get up. I was weak and felt drained. When I was finally able to get up and get to my phone I called up to them and asked to speak to a manager and was told to call back another time because they were busy. I politely said OK in a weak voice.. The man on the phone didn't ask if he could help me with something or if something was wrong he just got off of the phone. After that I called the ER. I honestly do not think they were busy because I left there not too long go, the background was not loud nor sounded busy, he spoke in a low tone as if he was whispering and he answered the phone quickly when I called. I do believe he had an idea of what I was calling about. I will call back up there and I will go to the hospital tomorrow morning if I am not feeling better. I know it was the pizza because I slept in late. When I got up around noon I ate a small bag of pretzels, and a grapefruit cup. I was fine for hours then I order this pizza and it destroyed my digestive system. On top of that I do not appreciate how unconcerned the employee that worked there was while talking on the phone with me even though he could hear how bad I sounded on the phone. I will not be back. ”

“2 adults, 2 children, from 1 to 5 hours after eating. The youngest stated top complain of stomach pain and threw up, then the adults, then the oldest child. Symptoms are still occurring through next day. Urgent care confirmed food poisoning. Flu tests came back negative. ”

“Rotisserie Chicken I got sick on March 3rd, one of my friends brought over Rotisserie Chicken, we ate a couple pieces from the breast, the texture was off so I stopped eating it, I notice the top bone was red, along with other cartilage, and the chicken had a pink... See More tinge to it. That night I started having serious cramps and diarrhea soon followed at about 3am. The next day my cramps were worse. I went into the urgent care they said it was Salmonella poisoning, told me it may take up to 7days to clear it, and to stay on a clear liquid diet they also prescribed anti nausea medications. ”

“I have never been so sick in all my life. I literally thought I was as going to die a couple of times. So did the girl that was living with us. Their chicken was bad. When we went in, there was about 15 to 20 people standing around wait... See More g for their food. But when I went to order, thigh, legs, and breast. We sat down there siting. They called me up to the counter, and said there wasn’t any dark meet ready? I asked? Well what about white? He hesitated, as if he didn’t want to serve us that? The workers at that moment, had every right to tell me that there was a problem!!!! Instead, they served us white meet, that really didn’t look right? I asked if one was spicy and one regular? They said yes. I brought it to my friends attention, that it was odd that we were sitting down eating, when all of the other people were still waiting on their food. Even after we finished our food. All of the same people 15 to 20? We’re still waiting? I mentioned it again. About 21/2 hours later when we got home, just minutes apart. We felt sick. And within another 15 minutes or so we both started violently starts to throw up. 9 at night. We probably throw up about 20 to 30 times Each. I would throw up yellow bile for about 6-7 minutes straight. My friend is mentally handicapped, and she was having seizures. I was so sick I could t help her. We were both so sick we didn’t have any energy to clean it up. My son, was beside him self over the smell!! I was so sick, I couldn’t get him to school! We still cannot get out of bed we havent eaten anything! And we are still vomiting with diarrhea. I am so angry! I want someone to clean my house! We are so sick I just can’t!. They did not care that they were serving us bad chicken. And knew it. ”
