I believe there is more to this story than is being revealed. Albeit, a very serious and unfortunate health incident, but were these two young tourists only confined to and infected by the beach area of their hotel? How do we know this for certain? How many times do we see visitors, both young and old, pledge the "I am in my holiday moment relaxing" mode, and participate in bizarre liberties. How often do tourists kick off their shoes, and frequent areas they should not be walking barefoot in? I for one have seen global air travelers frequently use airplane restrooms barefoot. I have seen hotel and resort occupants kick off their shoes on the dance floors of discos, and then later casually walk to the restroom of said businesses. Many individuals leave the beach, again barefoot, and frequent restrooms lining the respective beach area. Just yesterday, I witnessed a 60+ year old European woman walk through a puddle of urine that a Haitian street vagrant had just deposited 10 minutes earlier. As she was in all her glory at the moment, she did not heed one warning to steer clear of the unsanitary condition, and actually laughed it off. Regardless if you are a north shore, south shore, east end or city dweller, I take it that you have all at one point in time witnessed something done by a tourist that would make you cringe. Utilizing a restroom barefoot is one of these matters that occurs way too often. It is disgusting, but does occur. I would not be too quick to condemn this particular hotel, it's beach, or region for this unfortunate incident.
