A four-night stay at Ritz Carlton Half Moon resort became a harrowing experience for a US couple after the wife claimed that the hotel staffer served her "water defiled with semen".
Florida, October 30: The five star Ritz-Carlton is one of the most renowned and luxurious hotels operating in the upscale hospitality sector in the US where the rooms start at more that USD 800 per night. For many the Ritz-Carlton hotels are a perfect get away during the holidays while others come to celebrate their big days in the fancy hotels. A stay at the Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay, situated on the outskirts of Florida became a nightmare for a couple when the wife claimed that the staffer had served her water defiled with semen. The couple identified as Jane and John Doe in the court documents said that they had booked the five-star hotel to celebrate Thanksgiving holiday and the wife's birthday.
The couple arrived at Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay resort during the weekend on November 18, 2022. The duo wanted to experience a "restful and indulgent" weekend during their stay. During their four-night stay, Jane ordered in-room water delivery from the front desk. Everything seemed to be perfect initially. However, in the middle of the night when she woke up for a sip of water she realised that the texture and the taste of the water was strange. The couple alerted the hotel authorities who after a lab test confirmed that the water contained semen.
