   The Dominican Republic hotel where a Delaware woman said she was   
   beaten and left for dead in January, says she demanded $2.2   
   million in compensation before going public with her story in a   
   May 29 Facebook post that since gone viral.   
      
   Tammy Lawrence-Daley, of Wilmington posted a full account of her   
   ordeal to Facebook, writing that a man in a uniform bearing the   
   logo of her Punta Cana hotel, the Majestic Elegance Resort   
   attacked her and then dragged her into a basement maintenance   
   room where he continued assaulting her badly enough to warrant a   
   five-day hospital stay, according to the Delaware News Journal,   
   which is part of the USA TODAY Network.   
      
   "I was kicked in the head, I was beaten with a club," she wrote.   
   "And then strangled again for the kill." Her post was   
   accompanied by photos showing significant bruises and cuts to   
   her face.

   Lawrence-Daley also accused the staff of her hotel, the Majestic   
   Elegance Resort, of taking a cavalier attitude toward her case,   
   writing that when her husband and friends asked for help   
   searching for her, a security staffer assured them she was   
   probably "drunk somewhere."   
      
   Majestic Resorts, which operates the hotel in question, offered   
   its own version of events in a two-page Twitter statement   
   Wednesday.   
      
   The company says that before going public with her story,   
   Lawrence-Daley "formally demanded a 2.2 million compensation   
   agreement. After receiving no positive response, she disclosed   
   her version of the case, four months after it happened."

   The statement disputed Lawrence-Daley's timeline, saying that   
   her husband, Christopher Daley, reported her missing at 2:30   
   a.m., close to three hours after she claims he went to the front   
   desk. It also says that contrary to her claim that it took   
   several requests to spur hotel staff to action, "a few minutes   
   later, a search operation began all throughout the property."

   The hotel said she was eventually found at 6:40 a.m. in a   
   restricted area of the resort.   
      
   "She showed bruises on her face and had broken a fingernail,   
   without presenting any other signs of violence on her body,"   
   their statement claimed, noting she was also still "in   
   possession of her purse, cellphone and other belongings."   
   (Lawrence-Daley has confirmed that she was not robbed during the   
   incident.)   
      
   From that moment on, Majestic Resorts said, a staffer was   
   stationed at the hospital "to provide assistance and ensure that   
   her needs were met."   
      
   According to its statement, "Majestic Resorts paid for all   
   hospital expenses and offered Mrs. Lawrence, her husband and her   
   fellow travelers a complimentary extension of their stay at the   
   hotel for all the time necessary to recover and arrange for   
   their departure."   
      
   Tammy Lawrence-Daley shared this photo on Facebook as she   
   recounted an attack that she says occurred while on a January   
   vacation to the Dominican Republic.

   Once she was released from the hospital, Majestic says "special   
   meals were prepared for her as she had difficulty eating solid   
   food."   
      
   The hotel also says that a U.S. Embassy staffer visited to   
   explain how the Dominican Republic's legal system works but that   
   Lawrence-Daley "refused to present any legal accusations despite   
   the recommendation of the local authorities."   
      
   Lawrence-Daley has said she testified before flying home but has   
   yet to receive a copy of the police report. In her Facebook
