What tips do you have for those places that don't have in room safes? There seem to be plenty of establishments that still do not have them, and yet that can't be the only deterent when choosing a place to stay.

Just my opinion but I strongly dout there were several robberies in one night at several beach hotels
I'm just not bringing my iPad this vaca....as there is no room safe at white sands...it'll be ok...this is not a working vacation..I'll just enjoy all that Negril has to offer!
I tried to phrase my original post so as not to to disturb anyone but I knew when I posted that some would go into immediate denial mode. You can doubt all you want spanky, though since I suspect you are not presently in Jamaica I can,t see how you can form an opinion, but while I did not witness the events I did see the police presence. Also the persons I spoke to were staying at different hotels. Further, as I said earlier our area of the beach was abuzz the following day. We were having breakfast that morning at one hotel in question and asked staff what was up.
I was not trying to spread gossip nor disrespect Negril, merely a word to the wise. As to what to do if there is no safe in the room, these were not break-ins. It was at night and, incredibly, the doors were unlocked or the thieves somehow had obtained keys. The Canadian gentlemen who was extremely upset and angry admitted to us he sleeps with the door open for the breeze and sound of surf. He was on the second floor.
I have traveled all over the world for business and pleasure. I have been robbed twice, once in Italy and once in china. Never had an issue in Negril after 12 trips over 4 years totalling about 30 weeks. I stress reasonable care and caution and you will have no problem.
I bought a large "Pacsafe" travel safe http://www.corporatetravelsafety.com...afe-p-874.htmlOriginally Posted by Jamakafun
Buy it from Amazon or shop around for price, I didn't pay the MSRP that is stated in the above link. I wrapped the cable around some hidden plumbing or you can use the clothes rod in the closet and locked it with a bigger lock than comes with the safe and I had peace of mind our whole reach. I bring it even if there is a safe in the room to store laptops, CD players, large cameras that don't fit in the room safe.
