I stayed there June and Dec. 2003 and will return June this year. (and Dec. of course) enough said.  

 

There are no in-room safes. A new block has been built but I would imagine that these rooms will not have in-room safes either.

 

The arrangement when we stayed there was that at reception there is a room with safe boxes. It can only be accessed by a member of staff opening the door to it.

 

The reception staff will only open the door once you have signed a register confirming that you have entered the safe box room.

 

In June 2003 guests were supposed to buy padlocks and fix them to their safe box doors. Otherwise it would be difficult to prove that it was an "inside" (i.e. staff) job and management would not cover this aspect.

 

But the locks were not mentioned Dec. 2003.

 

Secure enough for us but we only kept small amounts of cash passports cameras etc. there.

 

Up to you.  8)

Just got back last weekend from staying at the Areca, definitely a positive rec.

 

They have opened the new pool (the first pool is shaded by the hotel, but still quite nice). The price went up slightly (about 1050b) when they opened the second pool.

 

No charge for visitors (but one night attendand did try unsuccesfully to get an ID).

 

Whoever made the comment about about the bed being to hard must be on drugs or something (though this is definitely a "to each his own" area).

 

Staff was quite nice, and I will probably stay there in a few months. :)
