The Spin
Narrative A
The venue's initial response was sadly tone deaf and profit-driven, with staff cleaning blood within 90 minutes and promoting events hours after Thomson's death. This pattern of prioritizing business over human dignity reveals a disturbing corporate culture that treats guest deaths as mere inconveniences.
Narrative B
The hotel's decision to suspend events rightfully shows appropriate respect for the victims and their families during this tragic time. Customers should rest assured that management is fully cooperating with authorities in their investigations and that guest safety remains Ibiza Rocks' highest priority.
