I’m going to try and explain this in simple terms so you will understand the point of this thread. It’s not about getting sick at AI’s. It’s about how the resort guests were treated by resort staff and, in the first incident, the DR private medical system, when they needed assistance for medical reasons. It’s about the lack of assistance from resort staff during life threatening situations, and the blatant attempts by resort staff to cover up their negligence.
But do you not agree that we are only hearing one side of the story in most of these situations?
Of course. The information contained in these threads is mainly from the people who encountered the life threatening medical situations and the news articles generated as a result of the incidents. In the most recent case, the news article included information from the resort operator. The gentlemen’s account of how he was treated totally contradicts the corporate response. The information contained in this thread contains some facts, and a lot of unanswered questions because the resort staff won’t answer them. In the case of the December 2023 incident the truth will come out during the lawsuit trial unless Wyndham and AirTransat settle out of court and require an NDA as part of the settlement.
There may indeed have been more yet not mentioned in the article I read about the lawsuit. If there were more, the hotel certainly was not going to say so, and perhaps the family/lawyers are not going to publicize it before the lawsuit is heard/settled. I'm no lawyer....no se
JD, trying to apply common sense to a situation in the DR? Come on, we all know better than that. no?
That might not happen.
That might not happen
If there was a court case? Yes the family member prosecuting the case would almost certainly have to be here to carry the case forward or the accused would walk.
Instead of just giving one word responses like "Wrong!", "False!" or "Bogus!" when you disagree with a comment, how about giving your reasons so that we can see if your own thoughts are wrong, false or bogus?
Saw a picture of a cockpit in a Supermarine Spitfire years ago. On the dash was a decal, “Engage brain before starting engine.” Applicable to many conversations. That and a line spoken by Peter O'Toole in the movie The Last Emperor Stuck in my memory. He was hired as a tutor for the young emperor. The necessity for proper conversation was the topic. He told the emperor,”If you can’t say what you mean, you won’t mean what you say.” Wise advice.
There’s a better chance of Trump becoming a Democrat than the mother returning to the DR. She is DR done!
CB. I’m guessing the attacker will be left to stew in his own juices in a DR jail before being deported/ returned to Canada. Don’t know what his financial resources are, if he can grease a few palms, it might shorten his stay. No way in hell the mother is coming back to the DR.
Rarely do I agree with Big but he is right in this case. The liquor flows freely at DR resorts and the bar staff get tipped well by drunken clients. Fights, arguments, lewd advances toward females at the resorts, are not a rarity. Due primarily to excess alcohol consumption. Seems like many AI guests don’t feel they are getting their money‘s worth unless they overeat and drink excessively at the buffets and bars. Most resort staff turn a blind eye to the problem. They want these people to be repeat customers.
Thank the gods I don't go to AI resorts.
Why, He is clearly on some bizarre smear campaign for all things D.R. He disparaged AI resorts, which is a cash cow here, the product is not for me but that's another story. They certainly could have been more helpful; however, it was not an employee that physically attacked the young lad. He also attacked the D.R medical system. How about this, I am fully insured and financed. I have managed my affairs. Why should I have to wait behind some fatso from an AI seeking treatment for gastritis or some uninsured sloth from jersey who cut his hand on a broken beer bottle.. I pay for premium insurance and expect a higher level of service, and I get it. People should receive basic life support, just like this young lad did. This attack was the fault of the jerk that slammed him to the ground, not the resort, not the surgeon.
I'm sure you're right but if you go back to your room after dinner you won't see any of this shit. I've been to AIs about 10 times now in 6 years and never seen it
