So, I arrived here yesterday afternoon and the whole place was extremely noisy due to the amount of different Business functions that were taking place and setting up. I'd expect that for a place like this so no real problems with this. We then proceeded to the from Desk to Check in. We were given room 981 in the Vasaille Tower, the area we had to walk to get there was full of obstacles for an event they were preparing in that area. We got to the room, and when we entered it was a state. There were Towels all over the place, beds were unmade and the minibar had been completely emptied with the packaging and bottles spread all over the place. I went back to reception to show them the pictures of the room i had taken and asked to speak to the Manager. The staff member at the front desk disappeared for 5 mins and came back as advised they can change the room if I'd like!!! If I'd like!!! That's the very minimum I would expect I asked if the manager was avoiding talking to me as they hadn't appeared, to which I was told he was at the side of the hotel dealing with another guest I asked for him to contact me so I could discuss this issue because, quite frankly, it isn't good enough and was advised by the guy that he would definitely call me when he was done..... I assume at the time of writing this, the manager has finished with the other guest however I am still waiting fpr the call Maybe had they got these simple things right, I would be writing a different review at the end of my stay rather than this one before my stay was complete. Attached is some of the pics of how the room looked Read less

I’m here for a business conference and it’s been a wonderful experience. Great food, friendly and attentive staff, clean facilities. Specifically, our pool attendant Ryan went above and beyond. While obviously busy he by multiple guests with issues, he took the time to personally help me instead of directing me to someone else. Without hesitation, he promptly addressed my problem and personally escorted me to my destination. Furthermore, our pool attendant Ethan and cabana attendant Erika were attentive and prompt. Great experience. Looking forward to my next stay. Read less
