BBQ Buffet Illness Outbreak - Hotel, Puerto Jiménez Puntarenas Province

Puerto Jiménez, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica

four of my family stayed here the 2/10 /23 - 2/13/23. On the morning on the 13th at 0430 four of us awoke with nausea, stomach cramps, and the immediate need to use the bathroom. This was check-out day, We had a buffet the night prior with smoked BBQ chicken however, many other things were on this list as well, so we are unsure what the culprit. We did run into another couple that morning also sick and they had spoken with another couple, also sick. We reported this to the front desk staff on the 2/13th at 1230. Symptoms continued in waves, some nausea w/only few episodes of vomiting (only daughter vomited), major stomach cramps and diarrhea, uncontrollable at times, blood in stool (only daughter) through the 16th when we returned home and were able to see MD. Tests are processing at the moment, and we have all been put on antibiotics. Today is 2/20, cramping continues, and new symptoms of upper GI (massive heartburn and upper cramping have pursued) have also been noted since 16th, daughter and I are out of work (I RN and she is food service) until further notice. We do seem to possibly be getting a little better as of yesterday 2/19. The owner was contact on the 15th at 2:20 p.m. via e-mail about a completely different matter all together, at which point I have been able to have extensive conversations via email to alert her. She has assured me we were the only sick guests and she has been in contact with all regarding.
