Conference Food Safety Concerns - Hard rock cafe, Punta Cana La Altagracia

Boulevard Turístico del Este, Punta Cana, 23000 La Altagracia, Dominican Republic

I was there in April of 2016 for a leadership conference with my previous employer. As a food service professional, things seemed off from day one. Improper food handling, dangerous food temps, off tasting alcoholic beverages etc. There was close to 1000 attendees including spouses. So many reported getting sick that our company set up a hotline. My wife and I had minor symptoms, but my understanding was that there we many that ended up seeking medical attention. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Nausea
