It depends on what you are used to when traveling. I'd say the two hotels I stayed at were comparable to many I've stayed at in Africa - and better than a particularly notorious motel I once stayed at in Michigan.

Of the group I was with (8 total), the only illness involved someone who overindulged in Rum Babancourt.

Are you taking doxycycline as an antimalarial by any chance? I find that if I do so, I need to eat yogurt (or, I suppose, other probiotics would work) to prevent digestive issues.
