Nice report Charlie. Met you at Seastar some years ago. Sorry about your cliff hotel experience.
Stick with Seastar, only 'visit' the waterside and agree Rhodes is a wonderful spot too.

So cass skypes me my friend who lives in medellin and has no continuance to the usa ticket either and says charlie mon sitting here in panama they tried the same **** with me about the us ticket thing and he said he got a supervisor and the supervisor made a call and he was allowed to board and go home... im really lets say not having much of a good time by this point.Anyway copa skyped me and said they researched it and americans and italians we exempted from the rule and they stood in the wrong! are you kidding me whats the chance of them admitting that said they would try and make arrangements to get me home l8ter this week. wow thats the jigst of it left out alot cause of relevance but dang guys i really dont need anymore of this.I called xtabi and asked if any of our things were recovered the lady who answered said she knew nothing about it. laughable, my lady had to leave and travel no phone we are 2thousand in the hole on those items alone extra expense at every turn. and seperated from my lady.Got robbed natalia got hurt i almost got killed airport was screwed up, And seeing the dead guy at the wreck. ive come and gone from jamaica alot im looking around lots of the bizznesses are closed and the vibe at this point is of survival there is no more fun to be had for me.just the friendship of those i know and meet, Canoe was closed today bummer, kirby no here, Burbon beach has the best chicken i ever tasted the sauce too is on point at this time, red dragon awesome as always and the swim spot always good. but the scales have tipped mi friends and it may be a longtime b4 i return. Seen shaky last night bought him a bigga grape pop and spghetti, he was showing me his keys to his new place he was proud. Now if i get to go home how do i explain myself to Don hijo and the mrs?. other than that the skeeterz suck,the cooler went out at the bar today, francines new baby is adorable, everyone is in good spirits, ok im ending the post will share more if warranted . chao. ps im wore out.

I heard of your troubles at Xtabi on another board - I have to ask - did you have your door locked? We're headed there in September and I have since decided to NOT bring my iPad and to fork over the $3/day for the in-room safe. It's just my BFF and I and now I'm nervous, but we can't change hotels without a hefty fee b/c we booked on Expedia. It's super disappointing because that hotel really 'spoke' to us, so to speak (in both price and location). And MAN, what a cruddy situation with your flight back and your poor gf having to fly alone and with no phone!

N/e we thought we locked the door,, calling xtabi now to see if any items have been recovered.
