What is the "Drink Spiking at Beach Bars" scam in San Juan del Sur?

Question

Accepted Answer

Drink spiking has been reported at San Juan del Sur's beach bars and during the Sunday Funday crawl, with victims waking up with missing belongings and no memory of several hours. GHB and benzodiazepines are the most commonly reported substances. Both male and female travelers have been affected, though solo female travelers are disproportionately targeted. Never leave your drink unattended. Avoid accepting drinks from strangers. Drink from bottles when possible and cover the top when not drinking. Travel with a trusted companion and establish a buddy system for the night.
