Couple Finds Peephole in Mexican Hotel Suite

In the ultimate incident to give you the creeps, an Ontario couple says they found a peephole in their hotel suite bathroom.

How’s this for creepy? A Canadian couple vacationing in Mexico had the shock of their lives when they found a peephole in their hotel bathroom.

The couple, Sarah Edwards and David Traccitto, from Bradford, Ontario, were staying at the Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya resort near Playa del Carmen. They had travelled with Transat Holidays.

Edwards told CBC News that she felt like something was wrong shortly after he checked in. “I just felt like someone was around me,” she said.

Her husband then discovered that the bathroom shared a wall with a maintenance room—and that what appeared to be chipped paint in the shower was actually part of a hole that allowed anyone in the maintenance room to see directly into the shower.

What’s more, the hole was positioned right at the genital level, said Edwards. And if the shower was empty, the sight line would have led the peeper’s eyes straight to the bed.

The couple was moved to another room and offered compensation such as free spa treatments. While Transat Holidays initially refused to reimburse the couple for the trip, a refund was offered after the story aired on CBC News.
