COOL THINGS IN JAPAN YOU MUST SEE
One of the Punta Cana Promise participants is the Iberostar chain of hotels – there are 5 Iberostar Hotels and suites in Punta Cana but I really like Iberostar Bavaro.
Deep in the resort’s kitchens, and dressed in sanitary whites, I witnessed the extraordinary measures taken to ensure food safety from sanitizing glass water bottles (the hotel uses no single-use plastic bottles) to their vendor sourcing protocol.
The kitchens were spotless and are subject to surprise inspections by independent international agencies. The staff proudly displayed the many certificates of food safety compliance received from the corresponding authorities.
Worth mentioning is the sustainable tourism measures many of these hotels undertake. The Iberostar maintains coral nurseries to safeguard the delicate organisms and ensure their beauty for years to come.
In Punta Cana, the health risks for tourists are generally minimal, but it’s essential to be prepared to fully enjoy your time.
The most common health concerns are sunstroke and food-related issues. Staying hydrated, using sunscreen, and being mindful of what and where you eat can go a long way in preventing these issues.
