Crissy

Hi, my husband and I went to Cancun to the moon palace for our 15 yr anniversary in 1998. I booked a 14 day vacation for us. This moon palace was brand new. We were there 1 1/2 days when our nightmare began. We went to eat dinner, my husband ordered us drinks, I took a sip and the alcohol taste was way to much. I didn't drink anymore of it. My husband drank his, and mine. After dinner, I was heading up to the room and my husband said he was going to get some beer. I went to the room, I then heard the door key beep sound. I thought it was my husband. I looked up and seen a group of armed men coming into the room, and coming after me. I jumped up and was asking what the hell were they doing, they kept telling me to get undressed. They were very demanding and getting in my face, I would not do as they say, and they kept telling at me to undress as the were walking towards me until I was in the bathroom in a corner, surrounded by these men. I then heard some arguing and it was my husband. He said, he was walking towards the room, when a group of men, carrying automatic rifles, running towards our room. He saw them go upstairs and go into our room. He went up, and the 2 outside the door said he could not enter right now. My husband backed up, then RN and shoved his way into our room. He seen that I was cornered in the bathroom, and it was getting bad! They told him, to tell me to shut up or they would take me and dump me and he would get the blame. I held my ground and so did my husband, they kept telling my husband that I was going to be dumped and my body would never be found. They seem that I would not do what they said, then they went thru our room, took our money and camera equipment and gift we had purchased for our kids. Then another man came in and said, we are leaving and they were talking us to the airport, and we were to get a flight home at 10pm, they never left our room until we were escorted to the car. They said if we tried to leave the airport, we would be arrested. That they would know if we tried to go to another resort, and that if we did, we would be arrested. At the airport, the driver told an employee of the airport the same thing, We cant leave and if we did we would be arrested. We went into the airport, and there was only the cleaning crew. No flights in or out after dark. So we sat down on the floor with all of our bags, we had to wait until it opened in the morning. Morning came, I walked up with our tickets and said we need to leave now. They looked at my tickets and said, these show you are leaving in 12 days. I said yeah, that would have been great but now we have to leave, so take these tickets and put us on a flight to Los Angeles. She said no, we cant take those, you will have to wait 12 days or I could purchase new tickets. I said, all our money was stolen, she said well then you need to wait 12 days. I called my my job, and asked a friend of mine to get us tickets one way home. She got them for us at 1500.00 and we flew home. The next day, I went to our travel agent, I walked in the door and he was shocked to see me. He asked I told him, he then faxed them, saying he was checking in to see how we were doing, the manager said that we were seen getting into a taxi about 9pm the night before and that we hadn't returned and they were looking for us. He then said well, I have both of them standing in my office. The manager then said, they were told to leave because my husband threw a bottle of wine and hit the manager. I told my agent, ask them to describe my husband, I said, they never dealt with him, that I had planned and purchased this trip for our anniversary and he never seen my hubby. He couldn't. I filed complaints, told the embassy, I called and tried to tell anyone that would listen. I did get my money back for the trip, and my friend got her money back for our tickets, and they gave me round trip tickets to Hawaii, I quickly tore them up.
Our luck the plane would crash. I didn't want anything that had to do with our Cancun nightmare. Just recently I have been seeing these tainted alcohol stories, and this wasn't ever mentioned in the 90's. Then there was a couple that went their with their kids, husband got up, wife was gone, they tried to find her, and she was found in a drain by right by their stairway to the room they were staying at. I remember following this story, this man was charged with the murder of his wife. I then seen the name of the resort, MOON PALACE, CANCUN. I about fell off my seat. Same as ours, I wrote to news stations, I called, no one wanted to hear my story. He is still sitting in a Mexico jail. I had just learn ed about the tainted alcohol. I knew immediately what had happened to us. We EACH were given a mixed drink with dinner, the taste of strong alcohol was to much for me, so I just sat it down and didn't drink any more of it. My husband drank his, AND mine.That is why I remember everything!! They didn't know I hadn't drank my drink, they probably thought I would be passed out in our room when they broke in. I was completely sober and they couldn't take advantage of me. Now with all these stories coming out, I feel I should tell what happened to us. I don't think its tainted alcohol from the people that make it, I think its something like GHB put Into drinks. With me remembering everything, that just proves, they drug people, then go after them, for rape, robbery or to assault them, then the hospital won't touch you until you pay! I hope that this story helps anyone out, it's not safe, and if people do go there, keep a designated person that doesn't drink to keep the people drinking safe. They drug and prey upon people.
I hope this helps anyone reading it. Don't believe what Mexico tells you happened, it won't be the truth. We la dedicated in Texas to change flights I literally got on my knees and kissed the ground. I was so happy to be in AMERICA!! I COULDN'T WAIT TO SEE MY KIDS.
