I know that the lady was naive by trusting too much in the hotel security, but maybe she's not aware of safe boxes and thought that is better to leave your belongings in the room instead of hanging around with 2 iphones and 3k in a public beach...

I couldn't agree more!!! but I think that all this is happening because "good people" doesn't get involved in the political stuff and when rarely they get involved either they turn to the wrong side or the 'system' takes them out...

No Qualms
There are no ethics any more.
"Aprovechar" at anybody's cost is accepted.
Avarice is the norm.
Good behaviour and politeness is no longer taught in schools nor the families.
Justice no longer done.
"Tigueraje" p'alante...
How can one blame a stealing hotel maid, huh?

We had a watch stolen from our Hamaca room one year. We thought it was left in the safe. Anyway, we got security involved, filed a report, and from that day on the maid didn't speak to us.
If you've used the safes at Hamaca, there's a small area near the front of the safe where an item may get overlooked. We always check that area.
So, after we get home, we get a call from Hamaca that they found the watch "in the safe" - which of course they did not. Interesting.
Anyway, we have vacationed at the Hamaca since then and haven't had a problem.

Yep
I have heard of numerous problems there. I know a guy that works there not with the hotel but independently and he said people would get stuff stolen all the time, and sometimes if the victim had some clout with a general or something that would call the hotel, the stolen stuff would magically reappear where somebody had already looked 10 times before. I myself have had problems (guns pulled on me) at the old hilton in Juan D, Costa Caribe. There is a racket going on there in all kinds of stuff, and the ATM's are notorious for scams.
