I've been visiting Negril every year since 1979, with very few exceptions tourist that take their new Jamaican friend(s) back to their room are around 99.9% sure you will be robbed or worse. I watched the same two sisters get robbed the first night of their stay two years running, all because their hooked back up with the same dude(s) that took them to the show across the road and their buddies cleaned the room out while they were gone. Now without any money or documents force to return home. Christine, consider yourself lucky Mrs. Gaynair offered any compensation, and that you were not injured or worse for such ill throughout move on your part. And that's a nice as I can be on this subject..

While it does happen, I think that percentage might be a tad bit high!
The gigs dont all steal because the women they romance give them money, buy them food/drinks, and give them a bed to sleep in so they dont have to sleep on the floor of their momma's one room shanty! The smart ones aren't going to muck that up, lol!

Please re-read, I was talking about the Gigolos....just because you sell your body doesn't mean you're stupid. Actually, not all thieves are stupid either....some are smart and make a damn good living from it - not that I condone it but would you consider Bernie Madoff stupid?

yuck!

LMAO

yeah... not for me either but it's apparently pretty common....I noticed it on my first trip. I can't imagine it's a good idea for any women travelling alone to let a man into her room, I dont care what the nature of the relationship is. Just not wise. I'm sorry you got took though, by whomever is responsible for the robbery.

Also gotta agree with Rastagal....IMO there isnt any good excuse for a property to not have effective security hardware on EVERY entrance point in EVERY room. Seriously, nobdy should be worried about wedging a stick into the door while on vacation...that seems a little ridiculous to me. Effective locks should be a facilities priority...seems like a no brainer.

I had heard of two break ins at the hotel I stayed in, just prior to my trip. I was notified via PM on this board, and I appreciated the heads up. When I arrived...the lock on the patio door was attached but it was loose and it was clear that it had been broken off and reinstalled. We put chairs and stuff in front of that door when we went to sleep to make sure that we would hear if somone was trying to get in.

Just wanted to say that theres been lots of really great tips passed on in this thread and I for one really appreciate that. I know I'm for sure gonna take these extra precautionary measures on my next trip...regardless of where I stay.
