5 Hospitalized, Mini Bar Suspect - Hard rock cafe, Punta Cana La Altagracia

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

My family stayed from May 27- June 1 2019. On the evening of May 29, my brother became violently ill (throwing up and diarrhea), with four more of us becoming ill over the next 24 hours. Five of the six members of our party were hospitalized for severe dehydration, low blood pressure, and high fever. We ate at several of the hotel’s food establishments before falling ill but also drank from the mini bar. It was just a couple of hours after drinking from the mini bar that the first member of our party got sick. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Fever, Nausea, Vomiting, Dehydration
