Couple recorded chilling footage of five star hotel resort before making eerie realisation
Everyone knows the most stressful part of being on a resort holiday is having to share your hard earned vacation days with dozens of strangers.
Fighting over getting the best sun-loungers by the pool, having your peaceful sunbathing disrupted by screaming children and spending the best part of each morning queuing for breakfast? The thought of it will have you stressed before your flight has even touched down.
But what if you arrived at your hotel to find you were the only guests?
Sounds too good to be true, but for one US couple this is exactly what happened when they booked a babymoon - which is a type of holiday parents-to-be take before their little one arrives - to Mexico last year.

Upon arrival at the Grand Velas Resort in Cabo San Lucas, expectant parents Cameron and Carlee noticed something wasn't quite right about their all-inclusive, beachside resort.
Fortunately, it wasn't the hotel looking vastly different to online photos or the resort still being under construction.
It was instead the people, or the the complete lack of people to be more precise.
Cameron and Carlee were understandably left feeling a little unnerved by the absence of any other tourists.
Which is understandable, as anyone who arrived at a luxury resort to find no other guests would likely be left wondering why travellers had collectively decided to give the hotel a wide berth.
"At first it started as a joke so I started recording on our first day and not seeing anybody but employees," Cameron explained to Inside Edition.
"But you can see as the days progress, it starts to freak us out."
He continued: "Things started getting a little creepier as we realised the activities were also by ourselves."
Fortunately for the couple, the empty hotel wasn't a practical joke or anything sinister, the resort had only just opened when the couple checked-in to their holiday – which meant they'd simply gotten very lucky with their booking.
Once used to the absence of any other tourists, the couple began to relish the experience of having an entire hotel's worth of staff members looking after them.
"We weren't scared at all, we loved it," Carlee explained to Fox13 News, adding: "We're like, we have this whole resort to ourselves, we have the gym to ourselves, we have breakfast."
As the only guests in the resort, the couple received a personalised experience from hotel staff, which included daily treats being left in their room and a private dinner on the beach.
Cameron and Carlee even received a guard of honour when the time came to leave the hotel, as staff members lined-up through reception to wave them off.
"We literally turned the corner and ... we were greeted with was all employees saying goodbye, and then I don't think a lot of people noticed it, but at the very end they're holding signs saying, 'You are not alone'," Cameron added.
I can only dream the same thing will happen to me one day.
