This is another reason that I'm bringing door stop alarms this trip. . Always sleep with safe key straped on you or under the pillow. A Limo Mon lesson learned years ago , Never change money with street people.
Hey Airportworker do I need to declare the door alarms ? Soon Come Limo Mon!
if you put them in your main checked bags and they are set so not to go off whilst in flight, from a UK view i see no problemOriginally Posted by Limo Mon

I have been reading many of the responses to my story and would like to make a few comments. For one, I really made sure I wrote the story for the message board in a way that I believed would allow it to get posted. I attempted to write a more detailed version with a little more direct blame and some other negative experiences we had but it was cut from Expedia so I figured I would write something that clearly explained the situation and what I personally felt while visiting Negril this year as compared to other years.
We had no “invited guests” to our room but feeling very comfortable in Negril having traveled there so many times, and it being my cousin’s first trip we visited most of the hot spots. Honestly we were probably a little crazy the first few nights but probably no more than most would be getting a free pass from the ladies at home so we could go on a guy’s vacation and blow off a little steam. Did we get noticed? Did someone with bad intent figure we would be easy targets, probably passed out with a few to many Red Stripes asleep at night? Maybe that was the case for the room invasion but it still doesn’t explain the ”stay on guard” feeling experienced prior to this situation right up until we left. That was different from the Negril I know.
I don’t necessarily blame the hotel. Yes, the door locks on our room were ridiculously weak. Yes, the staff didn’t seem to be that alarmed by what happened. And…No, they didn’t offer to make us happy by relocation or even a reduction on the room rate…I know this hotel well, both the condo and the rental sides and the decision to stay there was mine. I made a mistake at least this time.
In this day and age we require certain things in life like fancy smart phones, computers and the like even while on vacation. It would be great if we could leave it all at home but that isn’t the case for many of us. These items are expensive and desirable to the locals along with the money and possibly the credit cards we lock in the safes or hide around the room. And, don’t forget the passports! There is a strong incentive for the bad guys to attempt to get this stuff. A vacation I save for all year should be relaxing and hopefully without incident. In the future I will stay ONLY where I believe the security of the room and the guards to be sufficient, not just a guy asleep in a chair sometimes on the beach and other times who knows where... I will block the doors securely or use a device to eliminate unknowing entry. I will be more aware of my surroundings. What else can I do?
My guess is if hotel owners find the tourists frequenting the places that can provide this type of protected environment they will all try to improve.
