É evidente que achar Guantanamo "um local lindo e relaxante" suscita reacções, nem sempre benevolentes. Em resposta à mesmas, o site oficial da Miss Universo fez publicar o esclarecimento que transcrevo a seguir, explicando que o que Dayana Mendoza quis dizer "se referia só à hospitalidade". Pois...!
"(...) Dayana Mendoza’s comments on her blog were in reference to the hospitality she received while meeting the members of the U.S. military and their families who are stationed in Guantánamo.
The Miss Universe Organization echoes the mission of the USO, which is to lift the spirits of U.S.troops and their families wherever they serve. We will continue to show our appreciation and express our gratitude to the military personnel who serve our nation.

O que é curioso é que no blog da Miss se pode ler posts sobre as suas visitas a New York, à República Checa, Porto Rico, Nicarágua, mas sobre a visita a Guantanamo desapareceu tudo, à excepção de uma breve referência, num post intitulado "Miami Fashion Week & Guantanamo Bay", onde ela apenas diz "On Friday, we left for Jacksonville for one night because the next day we were going to Guantanamo, Cuba!!!! Wow, my job is amazing!!!! I love it, I let you guys know next week how Guantanamo was .... Muah!"
