Are All-Inclusive Resorts Actually Worth It? | Drop A Pin Ep. 68 (📍Cancún)

This week on Drop A Pin we spoke with Mykhailo Polyakov, the American Tourist who was arrested for illegally traveling to North Sentinel Island in an attempt to capture on camera the isolated indigenous Sentinelese tribe. 

Disclaimer: This episode discusses the personal experiences of a guest who illegally traveled to North Sentinel Island. Drop A Pin and its hosts do not condone, support, or encourage these actions in any way, nor do we encourage anyone to attempt to visit restricted or protected locations.

North Sentinel Island is legally off-limits, and these restrictions exist to protect both the Indigenous Sentinelese people and outside visitors. This conversation is presented solely for educational, journalistic, and storytelling purposes. We believe the guest’s experience is a unique case that raises important questions about travel ethics, curiosity, risk, and responsibility.

Listeners should not interpret this episode as an endorsement of illegal or dangerous travel. We strongly encourage responsible, lawful, and ethical travel at all times.
