LOL, you know they have gators in the USA too, right? Sketchy AF.

Florida has alligators and, in south Florida, crocodiles. You learn never to swim in fresh water (unless it’s cold spring water). And you don’t walk near any body of fresh water no matter how shallow. We back up to the golf course. We had a large gator in the water hazard. He loved the fountain. We always check the pool before swimming even though it’s completely enclosed.

This is a tragic story. But it happens in Florida as well.

Lol I had friends who would swim at night in golf course ponds and lagoons to get golf balls. There were some really big gators in those ponds and they never had problems. When they do have problems it’s because people think it’s cool to feed them. As soon as these animal association food with human they track you.

What? Your friends are idiots and apparently so are you.

Seems like you are the idiot. You know nothing about alligators or American crocodiles. Yet you feel you have to put out false information.

Just because your friends got lucky doesn’t mean that you should be swimming in any area known to be inhabited by alligators, much less at night!

U.S. has no crime, no wild animal attacks and no government corruption and the best, affordable medical care. Why would anyone go to another country?

Because the US NEVER has shootings? Only at grocery stores, offices, the movies, 1st grade classrooms. It's totally safe here!

And you couldn’t pay most people on the East Coast to move to LA. So trashy!

whenever somebody makes a broad statement like “Mexico is so sketchy” I automatically know I’m dealing with a racist fool.

The American crocodile inhabits brackish or saltwater areas and can be found in ponds, coves, and creeks in mangrove swamps.

That’s what I was about to say. More likely to be a gator in freshwater.

No, just someone who doesn't want to drink tainted alcohol at a supposedly luxury resort.

99% of the time people that get attacked by gators/crocs in SC/FL/Mexico etc. are doing something really dumb or blatantly ignoring warnings (which is also dumb).

Then people get on sites like this and act like it is some great tragedy. And places should be blackballed or people shouldn't visit because of other peoples stupidity.

Agree 1000 percent. I don’t get the appeal of going somewhere with so much to be fearful for.

Ever been to St Regis Punta Mita? Is that fake luxury. While not best hotel in the world, I think it fall in Luxury Category.

When I first read about this attack, I was confused. If the beaches have crocodiles, why did the hotel build there? Where are the tourists supposed to swim? This, to me, is different from crocs remaining in a lake or lagoon.

AGAIN there are clear warning signs not to go on beach at night for this very reason. She ignored signs. Can’t change stupid.

These people aren’t getting randomly attacked. They are doing dumb S and paying the consequences.

I had this happen at Club Med Cancun. Sick with Montezuma’s revenge for three days out of a week. Most of our group also got sick during this time. Decided to stick with Virgin Islands and Hawaii after that.

Club Med is far from luxury.
