Numerous reports have told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel they experienced sickness, blackouts and injuries after drinking at Iberostar and other resorts around Cancun and Playa del Carmen in recent months.
They told the Journal Sentinel they believe they were drugged or the alcohol may have been tainted. They questioned how they could fall into a stupor so quickly. And whether they had been targeted.
Was it robbery? In one case, two teenage brothers from Minnesota on vacation with their parents woke up covered in mud, with no shirts or shoes and their wallets and cellphones missing.
Sexual assault? One Wisconsin woman interviewed by the Journal Sentinel said she was assaulted while both she and her husband were unconscious — something supported by an exam done by her OB-GYN when she returned to Neenah. Her husband woke up with a broken hand — a “boxer’s break” that his doctor said likely resulted from hitting someone — but also no memory of what had happened.
Extortion? In at least three cases, travelers reported that local hospitals, part of the Hospiten chain, appeared to be gouging them, demanding large sums of cash. One man was told to take a cab to an ATM. The vacationers suspected Iberostar might be in cahoots with the medical company. The resort contracts with Hospiten and refers sick and injured guests to Hospiten's facilities. Abbey Conner's family paid about $17,000 to a small medical clinic south of Playa del Carmen and within several hours paid tens of thousands more to a hospital in Cancun.
Those interviewed said the feeling of being drugged is far different than that of being drunk.

Person 1: If you woke up face down in the dirt, in the woods with no clothes on and your butt was sore would you tell anyone?
Person 2: No!!
Person 1: Wanna go camping?
Don’t go to Mexico, anywhere, anytime or any reason. Period..........................
Friend of mine knows the family whose son and daughter were found face down in the pool. Son lived, daughter died. They were down there as a family and it happened around 7:00 p.m. The story is really sketchy.
...ping....
Sounds like Meskin’ moonshine
Its the 3rd world. These are backward countries, with backward cultures for a reason. There are truly evil people out there, literally anything can happen.
Americans, in particular the snowflake metrosexual multi-culti types, are extremely naive when abroad.
I would not want to visit a country whose own people don’t want to live there.
Gringo Suckers!
Wow, who’da thunk. Bad things happen in Mexico.
Mexico is worse than 3rd world.
Funny thing is’ in Mexico, if you don’t have the money to be treated at the hospital, you don’t get treated.
See my Tagline . . .
Americans spending their money in shit-hole Mexico doesn’t help our country one bit. They shouldn’t be too surprised to find Mexican’s that want to rape and rob them there either.
Just the traditional Mickey Finn ending with a bit of drug-rob-rape and the occasional homocide.
No worries, Obama Democrats and Bush Republicans think this is a superior culture that we should continue to import.
No sympathy...go to Mexico and you deserve what you get.
Don’t go there.
Just DONT
I used to enjoy going to Mexico and went there often. No more.
Nothing good happens after midnight - or in Mexico no matter what time it is.
