A cautionary tale, especially for returners

[Lionheart]

I understand why someone might not want to be specific about what hotel it happened in. It IS however, in this case, relevant information. Perhaps in your mind it could have 'happened' anywhere, but that's not actually the case. It didn't happen 'anywhere' or 'everywhere'. It happened where it happened. That it may have ALSO happened somewhere else is not relevant or your responsibility. The truth is that information about where it happened can very much help someone deduce from that how to adjust their security strategy. Especially the more one knows the landscape, the town, the geography of the beach, even the vibes of the individual places. I think it actually is very relevant which property it happened on, and while it's not their 'fault' per se- it is very much their responsibility, which is an important matter. You are not maligning or betraying or otherwise trashing the property or the proprieters by telling the truth about what happened. It's a security issue, first and foremost, so the secrecy about it only helps the people on the other side of this one. The more out in the open it is- the more incentive there is to not let it happen again, and the better chance there is of people as a whole sharing information to make it that much harder to do it again. I understand people have interests in not harming people's business or otherwise penalizing a business for something you are seeing as not their 'fault'. In this case, however there is larger issue at stake- which is people's safety and people having information to make an informed decision. I think you are perhaps being too lenient on the hotel. It is very much their responsibility to ensure safety. What if by mentioning the name of the hotel someone decides to stay somewhere else- presumably that is the situation you are trying to avoid which is understandable but what if by NOT mentioning the name- someone chooses that very spot where this did occur and then DOES get injured. What is the decision to withold the information going to seem like then? Isn't THAT the much bigger risk to take then that a place may lose business? It's natural to not want to throw an establishment under the bus, but in this case I think its interfering really with just giving people the information they need to make an informed decision, and this is not about who has nice lounge chairs or the best pina colada. This is people's safety at stake

Although it is obvious by now which hotel this happened at, I think Lionheart is stateing a good argument about
why it would be important to name names for possible future incidents. Lionheart, I couldn't of said it better.
