[quote=Anonymous]I wish these hotels had more accountability in some way. While college kid 18+ are adults, they ARE marketing to them with these all inclusive party packages. You’d think they would have some interest in preventing these tragedies.

You’d be hard pressed to find one of these places that is vigilant about not overserving (heck even 50% of middle aged adults are probably technically over served at least one time per week long vacation LOL). But does the bar really need to be open past 2AM? Usually closing the bar will make things start winding down. It is easier to keep eyes on drunks etc in public spaces during the day- at 4AM much more challenging.

Surely there has to be some method of prevention in terms of allowing guests to roam the beach at 4 in the freaking morning.  For example some security officers patrolling the beaches and sending tourists straight back to their resort (even if they could not legally force them, an authority figure stating “beach is closed for the night, it is not safe, go back to your hotel please” would generally be successful in getting them to turn back)

Yes these “kids” are adults and all behaved poorly. Not defending that. But you’d think the resorts/tourism board would have some interest in preventing these very public stories and bad publicity (if for no other reason). [/quote]
