Hi just to let you know i have been from April 29th to May 13th and again from June 15th to June 22nd and i am returning from July 27th to August 10th and have never had any problems never had to run to the toilet either if you catch my drift lol i would just suggest to not over do it with the fried food as you would have the same problems here as over there... your bowel would be upset lol and well drink some water too even when drinking alcohol to keep your stomach happy because the sun can dehydrate you alot The Weather is going to be Great!!! August is the warmest month!

we were there earlier in the year and my husband had a slightly upset stomach but we think it was all the coke in the rum and cokes he was drinking because we don't drink that crap at home, too much sugar we think, the place is incredibly clean so i don't think you will have an issue with food. we recommend the italian above the pool, it was superb, we've booked to go back in jan, looking forward to it. have a lovely time xx

I went there two and a half years ago and caught some type of bug. I was sick as a dog with a fever, chills, and the poops. It only lasted for about 2 days no one else in my party caught it though even though we all ate the same stuff. No worries. I'm going back there next weekend. I can't wait! Have fun and relax. It is a beautiful place. Tip well and they will treat you like gold.

Hi there!

You won't have a problem at all with the food there. It's fine. Of course in the buffet restaurant be cautious of any food hidden in sauces that might have been under a heat lamp too much. I go there all the time and have never had an issue. I only used the Buffet for breakfast anyways and everything was always fresh and the Chefs make the eggs/etc... right infront of you.

There's a great prescription pill called Lomotil. Cheap too. Go get yourself 40-50 of them and if you have even a hint of anything maybe happening, these things take care of you. I never have needed them but I always carry them with me when I travel.

If you have any problems at the hotel, speak with Luis Illiano the General Manager and or also Amaury and George at the front desk. They'll take care of you.

Hope this helps.

Good luck and enjoy. August is hot there!

Cheers.
