Dreams Riviera Cancun - Brides post here (new thread)

I wanted to let the groups heading out soon that 28 of our party of 30 got Montezuma's Revenge and it was bad and lasted over a week. I went to the doctor here after a week so I could start some antibiotics..He told me you could either take some antibiotics with you and take them eveyday you are there but of course you need to get a prescription from your doctor or you need to chew 4-5 pepto bismol tablets 3 times a day before meals or before you eat anthing. Mass quantities. Just thought it's something you need to think about and we didn't. I brought pepto and immodium for after the fact not realizing its something we needed to do to be proactive. So I guess the filtered water at the resort didn't make a difference for us. Good Luck and have a great time. The food is fantastic and the drinks were great.

For those worried about montezuma's revenge...first of all...my disclaimer: my fiance and I were there in May and drank the water out of the faucet (I was hungover and thirsty), brushed our teeth, drank drinks with ice cubes, ate fresh fruit AND had tons of Sushi and never experienced so much as a tiny stomach ache...HOWEVER...everyone reacts differently and I told my guests this and suggested that if they have weak digestive systems that they eat a lot of yogurt (naturally high in probiotics - they have it at the world cafe) or bring pro-biotics which are sold over the counter at cvs, or for the older people I suggested they talk to their doctor about antibiotics.

Coloradobridesmom - I'm sorry you guys experienced that and I hope you guys feel better soon!

Does anyone know if they do a "test" hair and make-up application days before the wedding, just nervous that DRC salon might not be able to do it the way I want it done.
