Ive never stayed here but surely this cant be right? Its procedure to give them your passport when you arrive and once theyve checked everything and recorded your details it is returned to you.
I dont like the idea of putting things in a big envelope with a staple and this can be opened - no way.
Donna B and Walks have stayed here maybe they can advise you better.

Thanks for the replies, i am a bit worried as it happens :think

We are taking mostly travellers cheques, but will also be taking a couple of hundred in cash, as my OH doesnt really want to rely on me changing the travellers cheques all the time, and we will need cash for the flight home etc.

Im not too sure now, i think we might store our passports and travellers cheques in the 'safe' , and carry the cash with us in my OH's wallet, but then again, this sounds more risky than storing all in the 'safe'.

I am actually thinking of storing our cash in our suitcase with it being locked all the time, and our passports and TC in the safe.
But then again, if im storing the cash in our suitcase which will be locked, we might as well store our passports in our suitcase too.
At least i know it will only be my family who can access it, and not anyone else, unless someone breaks into our room and steals the locked suitcase?

Hmm, decisions..

I've put my things in the safe before and had no problems at the riverside (guest house), it would be far safer than leaving it in your cases in the rooms as the cases can be taken away from your room :( .

I suppose you all do have a valid point , we will be storing everything of value in the safe.
