With all the resorts/hotels in Mexico there is one that you most definitely should reconsider. If anyone is thinking of staying at the Occidental Grand Xcaret a Resort in the Riviera Maya you should be aware that they manslaughtered a little boy!!It is the opinion of many that Corporations need to step up, and not encourage travelers to stay at properties that have verified senseless deaths to stop the promotion/advertisment of such resorts.
The management at the Grand Xcaret operated a pool that within the 1st year of opening caused a fatality. They left 3 12″ inch drainpipes uncovered, and underwater—-they stole an 8 year olds future because they seemingly do not respect safety or life.
To associate with a resort that senselessly killed a little boy over an elementary procedure is a disgrace. If you wish to read the details go to www.brentmidlock.com and google brent midlock.It is about time that Mexico stops worrying so much about their tourism dollars, and putting some effort into safety and regard for life.
Perhaps, the tourism rate would even increase.
As a result of the resort management lies, cover-ups, and inhumane treatment of the family, and Brent’s body this atrocity, and ones to happen in the future must be stopped.
Mexican businesses will not change unless they see the dollars drop. It is all of our moral, social and ethical responsibility not to “reward” this resort by booking innocent families.
The Grand Xcaret, and their stellar management team have stolen Brent’s future, shattered his family,his friends, and the community.
The daily pain of living in the hell they created so unnecessarily for so many can simply not be verbalized.
We ask that you stand up, and do the right thing, and that is to STOP and think twice before planning on the Riviera Maya.
