Canadian Tourists at Bahia Principe "Nightmare Vacation"

I guess I am just gullible and believe people when they say stuff, I never understand people who make up stories but many people seem to!!
I missed the part about shooting the door, i just thought the guy shot up in the air type thing.
The part I thought was strange was that they stayed at the hotel an extra 5 hours when their plane was delayed, if i was that scared about being at a hotel I would get a taxi and wait at the airport.
Fine you dr1ers might be right about this one!

A interesting letter to the editor of that news site, seems there are similarities to the original, security guard mentioned, people trying to break into room, two new friends helping them.

I believe the hotel.
Maybe the RCMP can look into these loons and see if they have a history of scams.
Sergeant Preston and his faithful dog Yukon King can sort it.

I Suppose that you can find a Loony (Sorry for the Canadian Pun) or a stalker about anywhere and IMHO only that would makethat story plausible. A crazy person that was doing it intentionally, but that you can find anywhere (INCLUDING Tbay ! But, to have that many people and hotel staff "in on it" I have strong doubts and "shots fired?" There would be police there in minutes . I Live about 20 Minutes from that resort and many of the people that work there come from this town. Shots fired here in town draws a huge response by police. A resort would be even higher priority.
Regardless of what may or may not have happened or what is exaggerated or whether the girls were partying and things got out of hand or not. Or maybe the "boys " got a bit over zealous in their pursuit, this is NOT indicative of the resorts, nor the Dominican people. the men ,mostly, are guilty of their macho , fresh attitudes which can scare a woman that is not accustomed toit. But there are plenty of gringas to choose from, and they know it !

The resort is going to cover their ass no matter what, every room getting the safes broken in by staff, other staff giving key cards to open doors... This resort is needs a flush of the scum.... Btw, the bartender that pulled my friend out of the shower was thrown out of the building at gun point.... Motive is there and other staff upset at what happened.. The resort refused to call police,... More shame on the travel agency for not getting help right away... CBC will be covering it soon.... And she doesn't want money... If it safes one life or someone from being raped it was worth it to say something... She also said she would hate herself if she didn't say anything and something did happen to someone at that resort.
My Wife just told me that someone on her FB posted a "Vacation takes a horrific Turn" story in DR and says it sounded like bullsh*t or they were drunk.
I asked what the story was about, well it was THIS story and I told her I was the only one who believed it on dr1....
We had a good laugh about her thinking I was an idiot
It seems to be making the rounds on Social Networking!

If this is the case and it is going viral albeit in a tiny content, relatively to viral internet news, then these girls should be very very worried. Hotels have a lot to lose, serious lawyers and we are dealing with DR, they can make anything happen. Looks like they were given a chance by the hotel to shush and move on, unless they have evidence of anything they could end up in quite a bowl of poop.
It's time to own up and kill the virus before it gets ahead of them.

Shirley you can't be serious?
The hotel couldn't give a flying **** about bogus stories affecting their occupancy rates when their guests are paying $800 (retail) all inclusive for a week's stay. If this story stops a few people from booking, they couldn't care less. Why? Because odds are anyone who would believe it are likely to be a PIA guest anyway.
:classic:
mob
I am sure Shirley is wonderful but I don't know her, but anyways
I disagree, you understand hotel chains have lawyers watching all claims and many false accusations are turned over? It's not about one effecting rates, it is avoiding the bandwagon that these accusations begin. I doubt you do or you might not have made such a naive remark. Just like hotels are sued all the time, so are guests if they go down this road. Although I'd fear being held here rather than anything else, which might happen if this goes to court and it is taken to court here. Silly move if they go there, they can't win or there would have already been arrests, no evidence. Time to put it to sleep, nothing good will come of it, or benefit them.

That story and I do mean story, reminds me of the old Playboy or Penthouse forum articles. They all started the same way. ..............."it was a hot steamy night in the Caribbean" "all I had on was a see-through linen skirt that clung to my body from the moist humid air"
" he was a strong powerful man with chiseled abs, smooth skin and a handsome rugged face.
" I attend a small all girls college in a Midwestern town"
" he looked at me hungrily"

I am serious, and don't call me Shirley!
I looks like they picked a bad day to stop sniffing glue...
Most hotels in the US have chain or bar type locks inside the rooms that prevent someone unwanted from entering even if they have a key. These places have PLENTY of money to put in security cams in the hallways to document staff behavior and make the rooms secure. The thing they have now is a swipe card that you put into a slot when you enter the room to turn the power on and lock the door. That way you can't leave without remembering the card and you turn the power off when you're not in the room.
A General Manager should have taken written statements from all the people involved in an incident report. When in doubt, "Cover your ass."

exactly.What struck me as odd is why did they continue to stay at the hotel after they were raped?
If anything they would've gotten the hell out of there. Also when they contacted their families why
didn't the family contact the embassy? They would've dispatched an official to look into the matter.
This story has more holes than a shooting target.
if i am staying at a location, and some guy shells down the joint, i am out of there before he thinks of pegging off another round. what is there to stop him from pulling the piece again?
Spoken like the real "pseudo gangsta you are"... Dah most "important man on DR1" " pulling the piece again" gorgyle.
read the story again.. they were not raped.. And I think that you are completely wrong about the Embassy "dispatching someone"... of course I do not know about the Canadians.. but the US Embassy certainly would not. They will send someone to visit you in jail, but that is it.
