Tainted Alcohol At All-Inclusive Cancun Resorts

August 17, 2017

Aimfair members are located throughout the US and Canada, with some from Mexico and Great Britain as well. Wisconsin is a well represented state, and unfortunately, one Aimfair member's family is close to Abbey Conner, the young woman who tragically drowned at an Iberostar Resort in Cancun, Mexico. The case is still being investigated, but there does not appear to be much hope of knowing exactly what happened.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinal has been closely following this case. Following is a list of related articles recently posted by the paper:
Trust is a difficult concept that brings together both emotional and logical senses. From Changingminds.org:
  • Definition 1: Trust means being able to predict what other people will do and what situations will occur. If we can surround ourselves with people we trust, then we can create a safe present and an even better future.

  • Definition 2: Trust means making an exchange with someone when you do not have full knowledge about them, their intent and the things they are offering to you.

  • Definition 3: Trust means giving something now with an expectation that it will be repaid, possibly in some unspecified way at some unspecified time in the future.

  • Definition 4: Trust means enabling other people to take advantage of your vulnerabilities—but expecting that they will not do this.
Aimfairites have made significant investments based upon high levels of trust that Grupo Vidanta will do everything it can to protect its guests and members. The Grand Luxxe Residence Club facilities are located on large compounds with restricted access. The organization takes pride in selecting employees who project professionalism and respect for their jobs. Systems appear to be in place to ensure corners are not cut and guests are protected against substances that cause illness to the best of their abilities. In the end, guests are all vulnerable because they are using facilities run by people they don't know.

How do we as individuals protect ourselves from illicit alcohol? By taking extra steps to validate the source and origin of a drink. Drink liquids that are capped, such as beer and wine. Be careful about drinking Tequila made in places you don't trust. Just be careful. Use common sense. Recognize when circumstances could become out of control and move on.
Bottom Line: Grand Luxxe facilities are AAA Five Diamond rated. Mexico is a beautiful place. Enjoy, and be careful!
