So sorry this happened to you. As a female traveling alone, I will definitely be alert at all times.
This is an unfortunate incident and I'm sorry this happened.
What I don't understand, is why we are "covering up" the name of the hotel? As a paying customer, you are paying for your saftey and security and peace of mind when you sleep at night. After all you are on vacation and this is one of the things you expect. So, contrary to those who feel they need to protect the hotel, I feel it's more important to protect the vacationing, paying tourist. AND it IS the responsibility of the hotel to ensure they have competant security, so if they are failing in this area, people need to know. I, for one, will not stay in a hotel with sketchy security , this is a priority, and should be for everyone. Who do we think we are helping , on this "travel information board" if we keep covering up the truth here.The hotel is at fault and if some bad publicity affects their business, so be it. Maybe they need to make some changes. Come on people...wake up and keep it real.
if u read the posts, you'll see the hotel is pretty much been named.... and I'm a big fan of the hotel and will stay there again.... I never take anything with me, just enough cash for the stay.... I leave the # of the hotel to those that need it at home and can check email whenever at hotel lobby.... Like many, have type of job where I may need reached, and they can, I'll check email daily and the hotel will come find me if someone calls..
Any cop will tell u, its a whole different crime when someone steals ur stuff, then when someone invades ur home/room, while u are there, they are armed, and steal ur stuff..... and these are the types of crimes we are reading about...

well, since I can't read page 3...(what the heck?).. I will offer my two cents here..Thats why I don't share where I am going..I'm just a little paranoid in the best of circumstances...I was going to bring a carrying case that usually houses my portable dvd player...which I and NOT bringing..but I thought it would make a good case for my husband to carry on the plane...thats out..anything that looks like I am carrying some kind of electronics is definitely out.. Also, wondering, in the OTHER country I visit..(this is getting ridiculous), I am also on the 3rd floor however my balcony is not far from a coconut tree...ever see how easy it is for some people to climb coconut trees? Wondering if there is a tree nearby this 'hotel'?
I guess Sadiekat didn't realize she already told us where she was staying... and that all you have to do is click on someone's name and you can see all of their previous posts.
One thing I want to point out is that there is a common theme here when discussing the recent break-ins... someone left a door / window unlocked.
If I was on the 3rd floor I would not have been concerned about locking the windows or balcony. This appears to be the work of an experienced thief. Very sad to hear. Did I read that the hotel had it on video?
More than that it appears they knew there would be valuable items left unsecured. They also knew what time was best as they were on site for "20 minutes". In and out with a clear target.
How can one suggest "occasional" theft when they have no info on Which hotel????
So,lets protect the hotel that didn't protect and not protect us who get info on this site?
How about we protect each other? How do you know if there was "another" victim who didn't even post it on this site???
Remember foks,when you get robbed,your first though shoud be "gee,I hope I don't upset anyone when I talk about getting Screwed?"
