Resort Illness: Diarrhea Outbreak - Grand Sirenis Punta Cana Resort, Punta Cana La Altagracia

Punta Cana, 23000 La Altagracia, Dominican Republic

Got here on Sunday, had a great evening. Spent Monday at the beach, the pool and the water park. Tuesday morning the cramping, nausea and diarrhea started for me and my son. This went on most of the day so we laid low thinking it would pass. Tuesday night I got a fever and also had nausea. I was so dehydrated, despite constantly chugging bottled water, that by Wednesday afternoon we went to see the doctor. She examined us and said we should get IV fluids and lab tests done at the hospital (after being on the phone with the insurance company to make sure they’d pay). Ended up getting checked into the hospital to get IV fluids and antibiotics. Not a good experience! We’re still not recovered.
I’m not sure if it’s the food, drinks, pool or water park, but there are A LOT of people here complaining of diarrhea and nausea/vomiting right now. We have only eaten and drank items from this resort once here. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Fever, Vomiting, Cramps, Dehydration
