I’m Guyanese traveling alone, so am aware of the crime. On my first day I expressed concern. There was no time I felt unsafe. The staff was helpful at all times. They escorted me next door to the bank. Johnny, the security guard got me a cab at nights & always greeted me with, “I’m glad you’re back safely.” The General Manager followed up to ensure all was well.
Albeit, the hotel is not the 5-star I remembered when I lived there, however the rooms are clean, service is slow, food is good, poolside is nice and mostly as safety is of paramount concern for me. I would definitely stay there again.
