Answer 2

Hi Sarah,

The majority of the "sikness" the people mention is because when they arrive in this warm country, they start to drink very cold (ice cubes) and their sistem is not used to it and give them diahrea. Second reason is sometimes they already have the sikness inside them at their arrival and due the the warm temperature the sikness comes out faster and then they blame the hotel or the food, withch is totally wrong! The control over the cleaness in the hotels is 3x higher than in the USA!!. Also sometimes the people catch a sikness in the airplane (closed enviroment) from an other passenger and blame afterwards the hotels or in general the Dominican Republic.

This is reality my dear not the stories told by (ignorant) people.

Haven't heard anything.  I live in the DR and the newspapers have nothing on that news.

Follow some rules:

- Drink Bottled Water (and plenty)

- Eat what you're normally acostumed to eat

- Eat fresh food.

- Avoid the sun between 11am to 3pm

- Don't eat seafood that's been lying there in a buffet for a couple of hours
