    food poisoning

    We have been going here for 4 years. This year we booked elite. I have praised Riu antillas to everyone I know and on line. This year was extremely disappointing so much so that I won't be back. The food was terrible. I was very sick on Thursday that we were there, in bed all day with upset stomach, headache and diarrhea. Spent $28 on 20 pepto bismal tablets from the store downstairs. Flew home Tuesday, Wednesday started explosive diarrhea. Didn't get better for 2.5 weeks, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. Could only eat toast and promptly had to run to the bathroom within an hour. Finally had testing done after losing 15 pounds, only discover that I had a case of severe salmonella, which also caused significant colitis. I have never been so sick with fever, chills, night sweats, and dehydration. I work in the medical field so thought it was some gastroenteritis that would pass. I now know that I obviously had food poisoning not once but twice. I'm pretty sure that's what I had Thursday when we were there and why my body couldn't fight it off. 10 days of high dose antibiotics and I can finally eat again without having to run into the bathroom. At one restaurant the steak came out raw, the food at the buffet was cold, and certain things tasted off. I think they have just gotten too busy to pay attention to food prep and are trying to get things moved out as quickly as possible.

    Great trip!

    This was our first time in Aruba and our first stay with a RIU resort. Everything was fantastic! The resort was beautiful, the food was great and every employee was very friendly and professional, especially at the pool bars. We highly recommend that you stay at the Riu Palace Antillas on Aruba!!
