Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Fuimos un fin de semana largo, en plenas vacaciones de invierno. El hotel estaba repleto y no se habían preparado bien para atender a tanto huésped. El desayuno era un completo desastre, mesas sucias, no encontrabas casi nada, el personal desbordado. Por infortunio, tuvimos que devolvernos además por una emergencia familiar. Al exponerle al recepcionista el caso que nos teníamos que retirar después de pasar 1 noche (habiendo pagado 3), nos comenta que como hicimos la reserva por Expedia, perdíamos las otras noches por completo. Cero empatía y sin ninguna explicación de por medio. Procedimos a retirarnos bastante molestos por la nula explicación con detalles para un cliente.

El servicio del personal del desayuno excelente. Lo mejor del hotel. Quiero destacar la labor de Mónica, cuyo profesionalismo, abnegada dedicación al trabajo, atención personalizada a los clientes, cordialidad y respeto, sobrepasan con creces el estándar de atención en este tipo de servicios. Lo peor sin duda alguna fue el personal de recepción. El uso del sauna lo manejan a su discreción y antojo. Estuve cinco días y sólo lo pude utilizar dos veces. Las otras veces que lo solicité me lo negaron pues decían que ya estaba reservado, lo que era falso. Observé desde la piscina su uso y nunca vi a nadie entrar. Probablemente en los cinco días solamente lo usé yo un par de veces y tal vez algún otro pasajero lo pudo usar después de insistir con los recepcionistas. En verdad, lo encontré inédito. Primera vez que me pasa. Las instalaciones del sauna son excelentes, cinco estrellas, pero poco y nada se utilizan, por causa de estos personajes de la recepción. Lo último: ojo con el agua caliente en el baño de la habitación. No es posible darse una ducha con agua caliente. Los recepcionistas dijeron que estaban todas las calderas operando y que el sistema no daba más. No lo creo y si fuera así la administración debiera resolver a la brevedad esta situación. También es primera vez que me pasa esto.
