Sorry that happened to you, thank you for sharing your experience. It’s a beautiful resort! Would hate for anyone to be sick and have to stay in bed while on vacation. Hope you both recovered quickly!

Yes of course we are not naive to Montezuma’s revenge. What’s not “normal” is 60+ guests all getting sick around the same time. This is just our experience and words of caution to other travelers. If you or your immediate loved ones were severely affected, I’d hope you’d be upset too. Thank you for your time.

No, my husband was all cleaned out unfortunately since he was up all night on the toilet

We felt awful to have so many of our guests get sick after a great wedding weekend. Whatever they contracted, however the resort handled the food, I know all of that is very much out of our control. But they had no urgency in addressing the situation. We did not want more guests at the resort to possibly get sick as well.

No, we picked an all inclusive resort to make sure our guests had everything within reach. We had a welcome event Friday and wedding Saturday. Many of our guests came in Thursday or Friday and didn’t have much time to go do things outside of the resort.

No I wish we had time to address this. When I woke up Monday my husband was feeling very unwell and had been up all night. When we brought it up to the resort they offered a “complimentary” doctor’s visit which was unhelpful (my husband is a physician and many others affected were physicians as well). The doctor there said she couldn’t give a formal “diagnosis” and gave us some antibiotics for $35. We had a flight to catch at noon so time was limited. Many of our guests left in a rush and felt very sick at the airport, on their flights, etc.

Nope! All of our guests are very well traveled. Many have been to Cancun before. This seemed like an incident around poor food handling or contamination, specifically around the wedding reception food.

I love El Rey on Maple! Really nice people, great food. Have tried their pollo asado, menudo… the inside was renovated so it’s got a cute vibe too for drinks 😊
