Dear Luna Llena Guests:
Be Aware of Petty Theft
Montezuma is generally a very safe town, but petty theft is a problem, especially at Playa Grande. Please be careful with your belongings when you go to any beach.
Do not leave items such as cameras and iPods unattended while you go for a swim in the ocean.
We feel that Playa Grande warrants a special warning because tourists are robbed there nearly everyday. Playa Grande is the white sand beach that is approximately a 40-minute walk north of town.
There are thieves who hang out in the jungles behind the beach at Playa Grande and look for tourists with cameras and electronics and target them for theft. If you turn your back on your stuff and go into the ocean, it will probably gone when you come back. If you fall asleep on the beach and are not watching your stuff, it may be gone when you wake up.
We advise you not to bring anything (other than sunscreen, flip-flops, a bottle of water) when you go to Playa Grande. If you must bring valuables, please be aware that you are a target for theft.
ATM Warning: The ATM in Montezuma likes to eat cards. It is safe to use as long as you are aware: as soon as you receive your cash and the machine asks “Would you like to make another transaction?” Push “NO” immediately. If you do not push “NO” within 10 seconds, your card will be eaten.
