I would fly into Punta Cana anyway. Driving is not the best in the DR.
We have stayed at Excellence Punta Cana which is also a wonderful adults only resort. The Secrets resorts are also wonderful.

Thanks for all the great responses!

I am going to check out the Excellence and Dreams resorts.

Dreams are NOT adults only!!!!!

HI-

Me again...I am hijacking my own post.

On trip advisor, there seems to be alot of specific negative reviews about people getting sick/food poisoning at Secrets.

Alot of people mention bringing imodium, pepto bismol, eating yogurt before you go (for the good bacteria) etc.

Is that only at this specific resort that it is a problem? or is that the way it is throught Punta Cana?

I reviewed other all inclusive hotels on trip advisor and the comments about people getting sick from the food seems to be much more common at Secrets.

We have alredy booked our stay at Secrets so I don't want anyone to think I am bad-mouthing the hotel. I just want to know if its more prevalant at some places than others.

All comments are welcome! Thanks for your help!

A lot of times the stomach distress is not due to the food. It is often due to over eating and drinking. Just make sure you do NOT drink tap water. Drink bottled water in your room and use it for brushing your teeth. Ice and drinks and water served in restaurants and bars at the resort are OK as most resorts have a filtration system. It never hurts to bring some sort of medication for your tummy!

Thanks schmerl!

Based on the trip advisor reviews, this seems to be a bigger problem than just a little over indulgence!!

Any time there is a buffet involved just make sure the hot food is hot and the cold food is cold. Be careful of fruits and raw vegetables too.

I'd be curious, Lmaev, to hear about your experiences after you're back. The reports of food/water problems have always kept me from going to the DR, even to the more upscale resorts.

Will Do!!

We are not going until the end of January so I will report back then.

We too are thinking of going to secrets royal in punta cana but I read the comments about this resort and now I am leary of staying here. Two common complaints were the food at this resort as well as that no one hardly spoke english so it was hard to get staff to understand you. Can anyone comment on this?

Lmaev - how was your trip at the secrets resort??
