Default Food and Casa Marina

I just finished reading a trip review of Casa Marina Beach and this guy stated that when he got back from vacation his girlfriend found out that she had typhoid fever from food poisoning at the hotel. SCARY. I am going there in three weeks so I was just wondering if any one else has had problem with the food at this hotel????

Casa Marina's reputation for food has always been decent.
It's not 5 star gourmet dining, but it could hardly survive as a business if it was common to poison it's clients.
I know how bad typhoid fever can be, as I have had it once before. It can be the food that caused it, but it could also be that she drank water from the tap.
I wouldn't worry about your trip being ruined by having the same experience as this woman did.
If it were a common occurence, you would find all the guests sick in their beds.

Default Our doctors advise we are up to date with Typhoid vaccinations anyway

Friends of mine have stayed at that hotel and told me that they were quite impressed by the food there.

Enjoy yourself!

I've been to both, in Sosua and Semana...both places were fine. Again, not gourmet dining, but pretty good for variety and taste.

My wife and I stayed at Casa Marina Beach last January. We thought the food was quite good for an al-inclusive. Neither of us got sick and my wife usually does when we travel. Enjoy your vacation!

...ah, then look for the made-to-order omlettes at the breakfast buffet, if you flirt a little with the cook he will make it extra special for ya.....mmmmmm yummy and it works on the hangover.

I have also been to Casa Marina Reef (and Beach) in Sosúa and Casa Marina Bay in Samaná, and I agree with Trina one hundred percentavos.
