A Delaware woman who says she was severely beaten at a resort is telling her story in public for the first time. Tammy Lawrence-Daley says in January, she was attacked by a stranger inside the resort where she was staying in the Dominican Republic.
"It's very difficult, very difficult reliving," Lawrence-Daley said. "I could hear footfalls behind me. And before I could turn around, he plowed into the back of me."
Tammy Lawrence-Daley was on vacation with her husband at the Majestic Elegance Resort in the Dominican Republic when she says she went downstairs alone one night in search of a snack. Then the man attacked her.
The man, Lawrence-Daley says, was wearing a resort uniform. She tried to fight him off, but after he strangled her she lost consciousness.
"When I came to, it was to him beating me," Lawrence-Daley said. "About the head. Kicking me and beating me."
It was hours before people at the resort found her in an underground crawl space. She was brought to the hospital with severe facial injuries. After months of physical and emotional recovery she says she is finally sharing her story as a warning to others.

I hear jamaica ain’t exactly a garden spot either.
Unfortunately, This can happen anywhere tho.
yes thats true, but who the hell works on the resort??? All the folks that live on the outside in a shithole.
I suspect there is quite a bit of envy.
Yep. Sometimes going to shit-hole failed countries
just isn’t worth hazarding your well being to virtue signal.
i would not go to Jamaica for free.
My aunt used to go in the 70’s and even then she’d say how they really hate Americans. (she had a foreign accent so she did not sound American)
DID YOU BRING YOUR TV (your car etc.)TO THE SHOP?
Is it a regional thing, IE, northeastern?
How can there not be?
I’ve been to those resorts, I don’t find it relaxing.
GMTA.
I said I get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir
So that every mouth can be fed
Poor me Israelites
Much of what women need to be protected from is themselves.
The chance that this was just some random attack, as described? I’d give it not 1 in 10.
I continue to be amazed at people who visit these 3rd world shit holes then are surprised when something like this happens.
It’s been a long time since I was taught grammar. Serious (not snarky) question —
I thought that Take was for removing a thing from something. “The tow truck took my car to the shop”.
I thought that Bring was for moving a thing towards something. “The ambulance brought her to the hospital”.
Is this incorrect?
Lone white female wandering around a resort in DR late at night = target of opportunity. She might as well have had a neon sign around her neck that said “attack me now”.
I’m not even sure I phrased that well.
Uh-oh.
She may leave a 1 Star rating on Yelp!! “Was beaten and left for dead, would not visit again”. Poor dear.
Idiota
Any place called “Majestic Elegance” located in a shithole, is not going to be majestic or elegant, and if it is, you will have a target on your back the whole time you are there.
I won’t even walk around alone on my block at 10pm. What ever possessed her to venture out alone in the DR. Poor thing.
