‘MAKES YOU A UNICORN’: PLANE DISPUTE BAFFLES
A couple’s dream vacation at the Grand Velas Boutique Los Cabos in Mexico, took
an unexpected turn when they discovered they had the entire resort to
themselves.
Cameron, known by the TikTok handle @freedomhustler, and his wife, celebrating
their baby moon, stumbled upon what started as a joke and then turned into a
strange experience.
The Grand Velas Boutique Los Cabos, the new sister property to the next-door
5-star haven known for its “world-class service,” turned out to be more than the
couple bargained for — or not enough with no one else really around.
With a TikTok video garnering nearly 7 million views, Cameron documented the
surreal moments as he explored the vast, empty resort.
“At first, it started as a joke … but it feels more like an episode from ‘Black
Mirror,’” he says in the video, capturing the immaculate surroundings devoid of
other guests.
As the days progressed, the couple found themselves in a stunning, yet
unsettling, situation.
Cameron said they only saw one older couple at dinner and a younger couple at
breakfast the first day they were there. TikTok/@freedom_hustler
Cameron’s curiosity led him to investigate the sprawling resort, hoping to
encounter signs of life.
Despite the impeccable outdoor settings and luxurious amenities, the couple
remained the sole guests.
“Every time I think I see someone that’s not wearing a white uniform, I get
excited, only to realise, no, just more contractors working on the place. Which,
again, was kind of cool, until it wasn’t,” Cameron adds.

The adventure began innocently enough, with Cameron and his wife realising on
their first day that the resort seemed strangely vacant.
As the days unfolded, the lighthearted jokes gave way to genuine scepticism as
they discovered they were the only ones participating in resort activities,
enjoying lavish meals and lounging on their own private beach.
Cameron began pondering the financial logistics of maintaining such a grand
establishment with seemingly no other patrons.

In one video snippet, he asks, “How is this place paying for all these lights?
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.”
Despite the accommodations, the deserted paradise left Cameron with more
questions than answers.
His concerns reached a peak when he observed that even the kids’ area remained
eerily vacant, with no sign of other guests anywhere.
After sharing his extraordinary experience on TikTok, viewers flooded the
comments section with their theories and reactions.

vacancy. Grand Velas Boutique Hotel

Some suggested time-travelling alternate realities, while others speculated that
the mid-January visit, right after the holiday season, might be why they had
such a private paradise.
One viewer advised Cameron to simply enjoy the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
and not stress over financial matters.
“Just enjoy it, dude. You’re not the CEO, so it’s not your problem,” wrote one
commenter.
When reached for comment, a representative for the resort told The Post, they
are there to accommodate no matter what.

“Velas Resorts operate at 100 per cent regardless of the number of actual guests
staying on property,” Melissa Wisenbaker said. “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).”

“Velas Resorts prides itself on offering the very best, not just when it comes
to service, but food, accommodations, design, experiences, et al,” Wisenbaker
added.
“Comparatively higher than others in the destination, our nightly rates reflect
the value that one receives when visiting Velas Resorts. We don’t lower our
rates just to pack people in. At present, we are limiting the number of suites
available for booking at the new property until we are confident that all
aspects of the resort would surpass travellers’ expectations.”
