We actually had one concern last year... it really wasn't a HUGE deal, and isn't stopping us from going this year. Les was waiting for me on the basketball court, and was approached by a guy who was later identified as a subcontractor who had been let in during the day, and had hung out during the night. He didn't take no for an answer and came onto her pretty strong. She felt uncomfortable, but never like she was trapped, or scared... there were plenty of other people within earshot. When I showed up and realized what was going on he quickly left. Like I said... not stopping us from going this year, just keep your eyes open. Greg and Les

Thanks , that is the stuff that I am wanting to know , I have heard more then a few reports of incidents like that. It seems odd they would let people of the street in on day passes at a resort that caters to a sexually charged atmosphere.

Ya, when there is a problem, it is usually from a local.

Pretty much always felt safe as a kiten on the resort. It's a closed environment and you're pretty much always within earshot of someone who could come to your aid if there actually were an incident.
however... outside of the resort I would pretty much only keep to the 'touristy" places. (dunns river falls, the various official side trips, etc.)
