What we didnt realise is that Nissini No.5 is not actually in the main complex and is actually on the junction of a pretty busy road. The fences surrounding the property are low so you can see straight in the Villa from both directions.
On our 3rd day we returned from the beach to find that one of the sun loungers next to the kitchen window had been broken, the metal had completely sheared off and it appeared to have been trodden on. We reported this to La Mer Homes but didnt think too much of it. 2 days later we returned after an evening out to find the kitchen window at the property wide open. It didnt take long to realise that someone had been in the property and around 2000 of cash, jewellery and other items was missing. On closer inspection someone had stood on the sun lounger outside (evidenced by a wet footprint), then the pillar light then entered the window.
I called the La Mer Homes emergency number to be told there was nothing that they could do and to call the Police. After the Police had left I called the La Mer emergency number back as the Detectives had been unable to secure the window. I was advised by the woman on the phone that it was very late, she was very tired as she had been awake since my previous call 2 hours earlier and that she had work tomorrow. I informed her that we were also very tired but that we were paying to be in this property and would not be able to sleep all the time it was insecure. I was told that someone would come out and secure it 5 and a half hours later after 10:00 and the reason for this was that there would be no shops open to get the parts and she could not call and wake her manager up. After a lot of back and forth, the lady eventually advised she would try and call the maintenance man and that she would call me back. She then hung up the phone without any niceties. I didnt think for one second that I would get a call back but I did get a message advising the maintenance man was on his way.
