Please, be advised that Turtle Bay Resort is scene of many crimes ranging from burglaries to physical violence against women. This information is being protected from going public, so tourists keep coming to the island. I am a photographer. I follow and photograph ASP World Tour of Surfing. In December 2008, I covered Surfing Championship on Oahu. I stayed at Turtle Bay Resort. It was my fourth year in a row staying here. My room was burglarized in the afternoon hours, and my photographic equipment stolen. It was "clean entry - clean exit" type situation. Only the maid and her helper (the towel boy) were in my room in my absence. The maid didn't show up for work the next day, and for days after. The head of Hotel Security, Mr. Thomas Dongher, didn't seem to think it was important to visit the crime scene and process it (as every other law enforcement officer would do). In fact, he accused me - the victim - of misplacing my own equipment and blaming it on the hotel. The hotel management, Mr. Bob Boyle, the manager and Mr. Cross, the vice-manager, have never responded to my phone calls, registered e-mails and registered letters. If fact, Mr. Boyle even refused to accept and sign a certified letter addressed to him. The day before we left for the mainland, there was a violent attack committed against a woman at the Turtle Bay Hotel (attended by Honolulu police officers). It seems the hotel knows that you, as a visitor, have only limited time at the island and that you will have to leave as your airline ticket dictates. They seem to hide until you leave. Once thousands of miles away, it is very easy for them to brush you off. In the meantime, I have lost little over $10,000 dollar of my possessions. While the hotel and its surroundings may look like a paradise - they also hide serious security issues that happen at the Turtle Bay Resort at this very moment. |
