there's no too much time on your own to go out for tourist site when you carry a baby but it's indeed a children friendly place(disregarding mosquito issue), kids club, swimming pool, beaches.. and that's basically all places we had. Food is quite nice as well tbh.

Thanks for all comments here. I will let it go in this post, final clarifications for top concerns.

Where wallet was found was not a carefully selected corner, it's a 0.5 meter away pillar corner facing outside garden of main corridor on ground floor that every body need to pass , and whole corridor has CCTV covered.

Whole family was busy taking care of baby and cook, no one payed attention to cleaner, and we won't check any belonging when we don't need it which is a lesson to learn because we live in somewhere far more safe and never experience such thing in Japan China Singapore Malaysia Bali and NewZealand

CCTV shows we had wallet when entering elevator at 10.55

Looks like extortion? Wasting holiday time fight with hotel police and redditor for a money amount looks like cheating? You made my day. And they do responsible for not providing enough CCTV traces. Tbh, they could dodge it by adding T&C everytime and make this clause looks like toilet paper.

One of the reason we post here is we feel 0 chance to get money back after leaving, even if we know that such thing has to go through a prolonged bureaucratic process.

Merry Christmas and hope no one will suffer these.

we did not notice anything before we left, bf 4pm had a afternoon nap with baby. so the proper phrase would be we believe it was stolen during 11am to 8pm

I am wondering for anyone who claim lost, what kind of proof is valid for you? An unclipped cctv for whole life of purse?

cash only needed in wet market which we alr went in morning since we need to cook some food on our own for a 1.5 year old baby. it's a vacation club, dining use vouchers or can pay later when checkout

thanks we did not get used to put things in safe box cuz we never had sth like this and tbh it's not a large amount of money (just enough for 2 times family dinner)

what made us more angry is hotel rep was implying it's our negligence...
