Couple baffled after discovering they’re the only ones at an all-inclusive 5-star resort

I don't know whether I'd feel like it was the beginning of a zombie apocalypse film or whether I'd feel like the Queen

An all-inclusive five-star resort all for me? It feels like there should be some sort of catch.

There's no amount of mental training which can prepare you for the intensity of staying at a resort.

Yes, all inclusive resorts are luxurious and offer a well needed break where you don't need think about anything - not even what your next meal is going to be - but the one bummer? Sometimes having to set your alarm to be in with a chance of nabbing a sun bed in a prime position or risk having to settle miles away from the all-you-can-eat buffet and unlimited bar.

Oh what a 21st century problem, eh? Although, it's a problem one couple certainly didn't have to face after they arrived at Grand Velas Boutique Los Cabos Mexico to find they were the only guests staying.

Taking to their TikTok channel, Cameron revealed when he and his wife arrived at the resort they initially thought they may be being pranked.

As documented in a video uploaded to TikTok under the handle @freedomhustle, Cameron filmed the sun loungers, the pool and other outside surrounding areas at the hotel.

The catch? There was absolutely no one there, apart from the staff, of course.

While it may sound pretty cool to have a five-star resort all to yourself, Cameron captured the eerie and surreal experience it was to be the sole guest alongside his partner.

"At first, it started as a joke… but it feels more like an episode from Black Mirror," Cameron says over footage capturing the empty resort.

I think it's fair to say the couple enjoyed it at first, but as the days progressed, the stunning environment slowly became unsettling.

While he should have probably been living the life on a sun lounger with a mojito in hand, Cameron's curiosity got the better of him.

As a result, the TikToker decided to search the resort from top to bottom in the hope of encountering some kind of life.

But his search was not exactly successful.

"Every time I think I see someone that’s not wearing a white uniform, I get excited, only to realize, no, just more contractors working on the place. Which, again, was kind of cool, until it wasn’t," Cameron says.

After realizing him and his wife were the only guests at the Grand Velas Boutique Los Cabos, Cameron began pondering the financial logistics of maintaining the resort.

"How is this place paying for all these lights?" he says during one part of the video.

"How are these fire pits being lit all day, all night for us? Who is paying for all this? This entire kingdom is just for us."

After being approached by the New York Post off the back of the viral video, the resort said they are able to accommodate no matter what.

Melissa Wisenbaker said: "Velas Resorts operate at 100% regardless of the number of actual guests staying on property.

"That is a staff to guest ratio of three to one, versus at many other resorts that are the opposite (three guests to every one staff)."
