Security. cholera, malaria.
Another question came up. Those who went to the hotel with children, how did you try to protect yourself? I understand that there is no particular risk of getting sick in the hotel. But like cholera can be even in salty sea water. But you can take a sip of water and swim. Okay, brush your teeth with mineral water. But what about accidentally swallowed water in the pool, or in the sea. Have you been worried about this? Even adults can take a sip

There are grounds for concern.
Consult with an infectious diseases doctor - maybe you need to be vaccinated against infections?

There is no malaria in the pool.
Cholera in the Dominican Republic appeared after the earthquake in Haiti, but these cases are isolated. As far as I know, there have been no cases of infection of tourists in hotels. Vibrio cholerae dies from disinfectants, from an acidic environment and simply in the sun. The main source of infection is the feces and vomit of patients, i.e. sewers, lack of clean drinking water, etc.

Your fears are unfounded! NUMBER -Water in bottles in the room is always there. The room is cleaned daily. POOL - the water is periodically chlorinated (I saw it myself). The pool is cleaned constantly. SEA - in fact, people used to gargle with sea water. My wife "drunk" sea water - is still alive and well. JOKE: buy a mask with a snorkel, put it on, tape it to your head, And now drink beer calmly. NO JOKE - use a children's life jacket - there it is "all the time".

The causative agents of cholera, not only in chlorinated, in renewed (filtered) pool water, do not live for a long time ... In the sea, they will not even survive! They become infected with cholera from drinking stagnant! I still wouldn’t drink tap water .... For malaria in endemic areas, you need to take quinine preparations before, during, and a month after the trip ... But the Dominican Republic is not an endemic area for malaria ....

We rested with a child a year after the earthquake in Haiti. Nothing was heard about cholera and malaria. In the pools, the water is cleaned every evening, in the ocean there is little chance of meeting this infection, the drinking water in the rooms was updated every day. So go ahead and enjoy your vacation!
