Safety Issues

[LivinInThe603]

It won't matter. None of the recent crimes reported have been incidents on a resort property. Use the same precautions you would elsewise. All of the doors to rooms are accessible either via patio or porch, so upstairs/downstairs doesn't matter. There are four security people on site at night.

I stayed at grand pineapple twice in the garden manor room. One time, My white, American friend walked me home one night after too much fun and the security guy was not having it.... I insisted I was fine but my friend insisted he walk me home to make sure I was safe.... right or wrong, I was fine and security is tight at grand pineapple. They followed us and made sure he left the property after he walked me to my door.

Based on personal experience , don't walk the road after sunset, especially in darker parts where the lighting is terrible. That's where the bad stuff happens.


I don't want to downplay the safety issues, either. I do believe that everyone with a stake in the tourist industry has a genuine interest and concern for tourist safety. I believe there has been an increase in policing, but it coincided with the slower season, so it will be interesting to see how the coming high season proceeds.

Be as safe as you can and continue to be a smart traveler. You should not be deterred, in my opinion.
