    Probably not all that great of PR for your beach resort to have an ISIS organization's leader killed right in front of your gate. I always wondered how resorts in that part of the country stay afloat. Searching that resort's images it does look pretty awesome...until you get to the third row of images. :wideyed:

    The security is really scary in resorts. Nobody expects to have terrorists hanging around, so you'd really be caught off guard. I wonder how the local government prepares for this kind of situations. Can they assure tourists are safe? I guess we can't be safe anywhere now.

    They have speeches prepared in advance to say how sorry they are and how the give condolences to the victims and they will be more vigilant in the future. Works every time.

    The resort and location doesn’t look like a resort most foreigners would bravely be attracted to!

    Review 1 Star

    Great food. Attentive staff. Our favorite dish was the adobo. 1 Star because they killed the leader of our group.
