On the surface, this place seems like any tropical resort, however, other than the slave labor, there were other oddities as well. Most of the rooms are not rectangular, they are either round or hexagonal. The resort is built somewhat like a maze, there are no long strait corridors. There is a main complex and a few outer complexes with bungalows and other activity centers. I have not been outside of the main complex, so I’m not sure what is at these other areas.
After a couple weeks, I noticed there are no one was older than thirty other than a few kitchen staff. One would expect an exotic island resort to have some older people as guests. The official story, we were told in a meeting, is that this is a fancy resort for young wealthy men who are recuperating. Recuperating from what we were never told, and we are not to ask questions about it.
The guests are all men in their mid twenties. They act like they own everything. Rich, entitled boys who command us, and never ask for anything. They seem incapable of asking. They treat us like we are subhuman, often getting angry if one of us hesitates. I get the impression that they have always treated people in this way. They are entitled to a degree I have not been subjected to before. Once, I overheard them talk about having earned their place here somehow. Like one of them said, “we have all earned our place here”, during an argument, as a way to cool things down.
The guests seem to spend all day socializing, playing games, swimming in the pools, or reading in the library. They go on outings into the island, but slaves are not allowed on these adventures. There are other rooms, which we are not allowed in, and I don’t know what goes on there.
There is a dining hall for meals and socializing. Tables seat 4-8 but there are also couches with coffee tables around the edges of the room. There is no buffet, only orders from a menu. Slaves use mounted touch screens to enter in the orders, which are delivered by the kitchen. The dining hall slaves also mix drinks and clean up after the guests. Guests can also have food served to their rooms.
Opposite the dining hall is a library. Four walls are lined with books, two walls are mostly glass with a jungle forested area outside. There are similar couches with tables, as in the dining hall, with the addition of large soft reclining chairs. Free standing book shelves divide up the room into pockets of seating areas. The room is well shaded despite the large windows lining one side, which gives the impression of a library inside a jungle forest.
The hallway which contains the dinging hall and library ends in a large doorway, which opens outside into an area with many swimming pools of various sizes. Some are heated. Some are shaded. Some seem primarily decorative and contain ocean life or turtles and Koi. Many of the pools have a bar and restroom.
There are open air buildings around the pool area that contain shaded sitting or dining areas, massage tables, or bars. They look like the typical open air bars at many resorts with tables, chairs, and ceiling fans. A few have a view of the ocean. Most have views of the pools.
Beyond the pools there’s a beach area with tables, chairs and areas for water sports. I’m told we’re not allowed out there beyond the pool area. Apparently there is some sort of defensive perimeter which can identify any of us trying to enter the beach area or leave the premises. There is a bar just inside the perimeter. I’m told there’s another beach area on the other side of the complex, but I haven’t seen it.
At night there is more socializing, dancing, mostly by slave women, and drinking and drugs for the guests. We’re expected to serve their needs, whatever they may be. Much of the night time activity centers on a sort of nightclub called The Playroom. As far as I can tell, rest of the resort is made up of private rooms and game rooms.
We have been told that there is no internet here. However, guests have devices that look like tablets. We’re also told the devices have no connection outside the island and they will set off an alarm if we touch them.
There are televisions in some areas that mostly show news reports and stock market information. We are told that we are to avoid watching them. From what I have seen, any dates displayed on the screen are blurred out.
There are rumors that we have chips in us so we can be tracked wherever we are. Our every action is timed and recorded. Every room we enter and anything we say is being monitored. Anything out of the ordinary, and we will be investigated and disciplined. It has never been clear if this is true or not. I suspect it would be easier to place trackers in our collars, but who knows what they did to us while we were unconscious on the boat. It seems to be a sophisticated operation, with no expense spared in it's implementation.
