Negril Beach Club Condo - Be aware !!

[Bnewb]

Good to hear Jean at least did something for you because I've heard of owners acting as if the person robbed did something wrong. Yes, please return to Negril but not to NBCC there are many other options and thank you for posting this and thanks Rob for allowing it to remain on the board. We all need to be aware of things, so we can make informed decisions.

Ladies - if you don't invite strangers into your home then don't do it while on vacation,

(3) in Bldg J, a group of girls got robbed -- turns out it was from a group of guys they had been hanging out with the night before - they obviously provided to much info
I don't think NBCC can be crucified for this as theft happens everywhere. I'm glad that Jean handled this and reimbursed her and while I'm certain Christine doesn't feel like it's a fair compensation, it was still a good reaction. For every true robbery, there are many false robberies as hotel management have to somehow find the balance.

As Jamerican71 states there are MANY false robbery claims & robberies that are invited by bringing people to your room.
There was a report written that was circulating all over the internet a year or two ago about a women that'd been robbed for a second time at the same hotel....she was trying to blame management/staff, claimed it to be an inside job and expected compensation for it.
After the first incident...she was informed that her "boyfriend" was "well known" and may be the cause of the trouble...but of course she refused to believe that! She only saw him during her visits which were for only a short time...yet somehow thought her boyfriend was an upstanding person. Rob and I have the opportunity to see his behavior from week to week over time and would NEVER think to invite him to our home.
After the second incident she demanded compensation from the hotel or she would post the incident all over the internet...the hotel relented and compensated her in exchange for no longer bringing her boyfriend on the property. After receiving the compensation....she said she would find other lodging for her next trip & she wouldn't make mention of the incident on the internet as she had threatened to do. After she returned home, she obviously had a change of heart and proceeded to post her now embellished story on multiple websites including Negril.com. Rob being privy to the details of the incident as it occurred...wisely deleted her fabricated tale.

So...the reason I am mentioning this little story...

1. Hotel owners are in a very difficult position in determining what really occurred when a robbery claim is made. In addition to the people that simply want to avoid a hotel bill...they also have to deal with robbery claims such as the story I told above. This is unfortunately a somewhat common scenario when....
2. People invite virtual strangers back to their rooms. This is why some hotels do not allow non-registered guests in their rooms. Just because you meet someone once or twice a week for 5 years does NOT mean you know them.
3. Responsible website owners do feel an obligation for the information on their websites to be accurate. I hope Rob doesn't mind me saying...but I know when an incident does occur... he checks on basic facts to find out what is going on...thus leaving the posted information, deleting the information or suggesting that there might be more to the story than what is actually being posted.


The truly sad part of these situations are that when a serious incident does happen...the validity is often questioned because of the reoccurring scenario as I've mentioned above.
