Ola y'all. I stayed at Mariners/Negril Beach Club four times this year - both hotel rooms and condos and three time there were security sticks. On the occasion there wasn't I asked for one and had it in my hand inside an hour. On a couple of occasions employees even reminded me to lock everything up tight and use the stick.
However - the way the theives get in depends more on the wiggle room between the abutting edges of the inner and outer patio doors when they are closed. If there is enough room between them an ordiairy metal hanger - straightened will fit through that space and can be easily used to move the patio slider stick out of the way. I'm thinking those motion alarms someone else mentioned would be a smart addition.

Having said all this. NOTHING is going to stop mi visits to Negril. Crime is everywhere the criminals are and I defy anyone to find a large group of people that doesn't include some shady element. The majority of people are terrific and I feel to home there. I've never felt better in mi life than when I am walkin' the bones of lady Jamaica.
