ROBBING IN ARUBA...SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT VACATION...
AN ACCOUNT OF A VACATION TURNED BAD--ARUBA'S ROBBERY PROBLEM
Several friends just returned from Marriott Aruba...it was either the Surf or Ocean Club where they own a timeshare and I'm not sure which place it was.
Their friends that they traveled with (also timeshare owners at Marriott Aruba) were robbed from their in room safe not once during their week BUT TWICE.
First time they stole $500 in cash and a digital camera. Police came...very slowly they said, friend lost nearly a day on the beach w/ all the paperwork etc. Marriott reiumbursed (sic) them the cash and camera.
Then IT HAPPENED AGAIN.
This time supposedly there was $1500 in the safe and some other things. Same deal...police, lost day on the beach etc. But Marriott has not settled that robbery with them yet. This has never happened to them in all of their visits previously.
Marriott and police agree that it probably was an "inside" job. And that is all I know. Just posted this for informational purposes. Not bashing Marriott...it could happen anywhere. I love the Marriott. From the sound of it, they handled it approrpiately (sic) and most certainly want to get to the bottom of it as well. (That line sounds very familiar, doesn't it?)
I have no clue how you protect your valuables if you cant lock them in a hotel safe...i guess hide them someplace.
