How much truth is there to this common complaint of Cancun resorts? I read so many reviews, good and bad and found a common complaint. Safe broken into with the actual combination. I can see it happening but often? Read a bunch of reviews, safe broken into, resort did nothing. There is a schedule the resort knows who was in that particular builiding doing what, room service, cleaning, building maintenance.... What's the truth behind this? Who has had their in-room safe broken into without force? If so, did the resort do anything about it?
Perhaps no one has ever experienced it to be able to comment. Certainly I've stayed well over 100 nights across many different Cancun hotels and it's never happened to me.
In over 20 years, I have not had a safe problem. Have had some petty theft on things left out. Would suggest that many safes are left unlocked by mistake. How do you prove you locked it and not the thief ?
I found it to be a common complaint when the resort feedback is negative.. Was curious to see if anyone here has had this happen to them. Temptation was the least expensive resort I found, just doing research, trying to cover all bases, become well informed...
temptations If you think you might like temptations, I am sure you will love it there! No worries there. Adult playground where all are welcome.:clappyinghappy:
I looked at this question and thought, Huh? I mean think about it. If you walked up to the safe and knew that the combo could be what 3 to six numbers in any combination, what would be your chance of coming up with the exact combo to open it? So one of three things happened. Either the guest left it open or the front desk brought the override machine and broke in. Or, the burglar has the override machine and is using it. But anyway you go about it, I may have heard about someone that had their safe "broken into" at BBG/TTR but never have met that person to know or judge the validity of their claim. Personally it's never happen to me in the 12 years or more than seven months of nights I have spent there. Jamie
I agree with Jamie, Ive been there many many times and I personally have never had an issue. I would find it really hard to believe that someone that works there would take that chance to break into a guests safe, Most resort jobs are highly coveted and loosing that job over a "Chance" to steal what may be in a guest safe, probably is not worth it to them. That being said, I have heard of theft in rooms before.. few and far between. As a matter of fact it happened to a friend of mine in 2006, someone went into his room and stole his Digital camera and dvd player... The hotel brought us all down to watch security video once that didnt work, they brought us to the police station to fill out a report and a hotel rep helped him out every step of the way in filing the papers...they then gave him a free weeks stay at the resort. So I think the hotel goes above and beyond to make sure everyone is safe and taken care of at the resort (within their control) a 5 star Hilton could have it share of thieves and thugs in it also, So I wouldnt worry to much about theft at Temptations in my humble opinion
It is my understanding as an ex Cancun tourist but still a tourist, that the in room safes, if they are NOT operated by a key, have a unique combo that you set yourself. So it is very unlikely that someone could come into your room and try all 10,000 possible combos and get in your safe with the "actual combo." Were someone to drop dead, forget the combo, or whatever, it takes two people to access it in some manner to open and reset it. I don't think getting robbed from your in room safe is something I would worry about. Nonetheless, you don't need to bring your Rolex and your expensive jewelry. Don't worry.
Most safes come with a default code of six zeros to open it.... Unfortunately most hotels (Not just in Cancun but US too) dont reset the default code...... So if you type in six zeros it will open the safe. If they reset the defualt code when they install the safe there is no way into it without your code or the default code. If you ever forget your code they will use the default code.... Most of the time they come in an enter six zeros and open the safe. Check it before you leave your valuables in the safe.
