Resort Buffet Illness Outbreak - Hotel Riu, Punta Cana La Altagracia

Carretera El Macao - Arena Gorda, Punta Cana, 23000 La Altagracia, Dominican Republic

I went to the Dominican Republic from May 18th to May 24th, and stayed at the Hotel Riu Republica. On the second day there (after eating from the buffet, drinking at the pool bar and room mini bar) I became terribly sick. Initially it was just diarrhea but developed into vomiting, nausea and a fever. I started taking an antibiotic that I brought with me on the 2nd or 3rd day of being sick and by the 4th day was feeling better. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Fever, Nausea, Vomiting
