In a shocking twist surrounding the mysterious deaths of three American women at the Royal Kahal Beach Resort in San Pedro, new guests have raised alarming concerns about potential carbon monoxide poisoning. Kaoutar Naqqad, 23, Imane Mallah, 24, and Wafae El Arar, 26, were found unresponsive in their hotel room last month, leading to speculation about the cause of their deaths.

Initial reports from local police suggested drug overdoses, but the victims' families have passionately contested this narrative, demanding a comprehensive investigation. Their appeal gained attention as another traveler—referred to as Jane—shared an unnerving experience during her visit to the same resort shortly after the tragedy.

Staying at the hotel from March 1, Jane had reached out to the management on February 25 with concerns about her safety, given the recent incident. A hotel employee assured her that there were “no safety issues” and attributed the previous deaths to an overdose, claiming the hotel had no responsibility. Comforted, Jane and her friends proceeded with their holiday. However, it soon turned into a nightmare.

Just days into her stay, Jane woke up feeling severely unwell, experiencing symptoms like dizziness, blurred vision, and a complete lack of strength. Struggling to even reach the bathroom, she lay incapacitated for nearly an hour, fearing for her safety. Alarmingly, five days after returning home to California, Jane still suffers from persistent headaches, cough, and brain fog—common signs of carbon monoxide exposure.

What tipped Jane off was a news report linking the previous deaths to similar health issues consistent with carbon monoxide poisoning. Disturbed, she connected her symptoms to those reported by her friends during their stay. One even experienced migraines, raising further alarms regarding the hotel's safety standards.

The concerns were not isolated. A review on TripAdvisor from a guest who visited shortly before Jane highlighted the hotel’s neglect following alarming carbon monoxide detector alerts. Despite reporting high levels of carbon monoxide to the staff, guests felt dismissed and were left in a precarious situation.

Adding fuel to the fire, embassy officials allegedly informed Jane's friend that initial investigations indicated high carbon monoxide levels in several rooms within the Royal Kahal. Despite this alarming news, the hotel remained open, leaving guests feeling trapped in a potentially life-threatening environment.

In an even more perplexing series of events, Jane recounted how the hotel conducted smoke detector tests shortly after their arrival, pointing to a clear acknowledgment of potential safety issues. Moreover, on their last night, after a cryptic warning from the U.S. Embassy, hotel management suggested that Jane and her friends could stay if they felt safe. In a twist of fate and amid glaring negligence, they reluctantly stayed, only to discover unsettling details upon returning home.

Meanwhile, a second autopsy for Naqqad, Mallah, and El Arar is set for completion soon, with preliminary findings hinting at signs of carbon monoxide poisoning. The families released a heartfelt statement, mourning their daughters' loss while demanding answers about the circumstances of their deaths.

As investigations continue, questions linger about the Royal Kahal's safety protocols, the management's response to previous incidents, and how many others could be at risk. The hotel remains under scrutiny, with travelers advised to remain alert and proactive in ensuring their safety while vacationing in Belize. The hope remains that through a rigorous investigation, the truth behind these tragic events will emerge, and families will find the closure they deserve.
