Perhaps it's safer to stay at the Cliffs in a small, security conscious hotel with a WALL .... That's what I'm doing this trip after hearing all these reports. I'm a pretty tough guy and thoroughly reckless but I don't want some fool breaking in at night!
That's exactly what I did in March of this year - stayed long-term in a resort on the cliffs surrounded by a high stone wall and a locked gate. Thieves scaled the wall in the middle of the night, removed the screws from my louvred window, reached in, unlocked my door from the inside, came in and removed several articles from my room while I was asleep. Believe me, if someone is dead set on robbing you, they will find a way to do it. And no, I did not have a boy toy in my room. Police attended and confirmed these were local crackheads.
They could have made entry on the water side as well....... I wondered about that on my last trip at Catcha, but no worries needed. They have security that works the water side as well and he doesn't miss a thing. The door alarms are a great idea and very inexpensive considering the peace of mind they provide.
Thanks for sharing your story. At least you had most of your stuff in the safe. I feel a bit more comfortable that the rooms in the hotel I stay at only have one way in, and that's the front door, but like one of the posters above stated, if they want your stuff they will get in no matter what. I like staying across the road from the beach because not everyone can see where you go..I feel like when I stay on the beach everyone knows where you are because they can watch you walk to your room from the beach. You better believe I am cramming everything I own in my safe this trip! No slacking off this time.
