I guess we will have to chime in also. We have been there 2x a year since July 2003 (minus the one visit that the 2005 hurricane wiped out) faithfully. We have never lost anything - except for my Cosabella thongs that I had laundered and placed on the back porch of our ground-floor room in the garden-side of Building 10, in August of 2006. Everyone laughed about it, but hey, they WERE $20 bucks a pop, so it was not like snitching candy off a shelf.
Seriously, we don't flaunt the nice things we have. The good jewelry we bring, we wear every day. It never gets in the room unless we are there with it.
We too have a locked suitcase. I bring combination locks (separately) and put them on the suitcase once we get there. We use the safe also.
I say, act like a normal human being, don't flaunt anything, treat the employees with respect and everything will be fine.
