That's interesting. We have never experienced any sketchy-ness, but as you said, this may have occurred when Charlie (the owner) was off site. Generally, the property is local-friendly but any visitors are stopped at the office, unless they are a paying customer at the restaurant/bar. Were the working girls just lounging around the resort or were they guests of someone staying at the hotel? If it's the latter, I wouldn't be too surprised. On our last trip, a women stayed there a week with her rent-a-dread. They were both actually pretty cool, so we didn't feel any bad vibes. Whatever they did in their hotel room is their own business.
