We were 3 couples there from Feb 5 to 12 and 4 out of 6 had the same sickness. Almost everyone we spoke with while there had people in their group who had also been sick. We have been to Punta Cana (other resorts) at least 7 times and have never been sick. We are extremely careful. If you check out the Facebook pages for this hotel you will see lots if people writing about their sickness while there. I agree they need to test the meat, water/ice at the bars and how they clean the glasses in the rooms and pool bar. We observed (for several long periods of time) they way they cleaned the glasses at the bar - one pail of water with soap and same rag for hours and rinse in another pail - what water were they using? Why weren’t the glasses cleaned in a dish washer? Knowing what was going around they should have taken better precautions to avoid cross-contamination. This resort should be inspected. I am in the midst of preparing a report for the resort, our carrier and public health.
