A cautionary tale, especially for returners

[Shaggy]

yes Rob & Lisa , the resorts do read the message board and with so many concerns as of late I am confident that there are going to be some changes. Our heart is still in Negril even though times have changed and we have changed over the years as far as how we carry ourselfs in Negril. theres still a hell of alot more good ppl in Negril than bad. And we still love Rondel . as someone mentioned earlier that ppl that are long time returnies to the resort should contact them with our recommendations to make it even a better place than it is.We highly recommend Rondel even tho there have been some problems as of late. Theres no doult they are working diligently as we speak about it. Its not just a problem for them. As long time travelers to Negril we have seen the crime go up in down there over the years and is always an indicater of the economy as it is here or anywhere in the world.

I also am sure that Rondel is working diligently to resolve the security issues. The owners are wonderful people who truly care about their guests comfort and safety; and, I still plan to stay there on future visits. As a matter of fact, Rondel recently had fourteen or so security cameras installed. They are constantly making improvements to the property. So I don't think they will be afraid to spend money to heighten security, if necessary.

As Kahuna said earlier, it doesn't matter which resort/apartment it happened at, what matters is that it is on the increase all over the Negril area. The good people who reside there are as unhappy about this as the tourists are. I have a friend who lives in the West End and is a videographer and he said he holds his breath every time he leaves his house for fear that his equipment will be gone when he gets back. This issue is one that needs to be seriously addressed by the police force and the tourism/hospitality people; and, I trust that they are smart enough to know this.
