"We reserved and we're confirmed by the reception a private airport transfer through the hotel 2 days before leaving. Our Pickup uptime set at 10.45 AM, Checked out around 10.25 so we'll in advance. Standing at the pickup point right opposite the hotel entrance 3 buses landed within 10 mins and none of them had the reservation with our name. Started to get a bi anxious since it's a past hour journey to the airport. Got back to the reception and Javier helped us trying his absolute best spending long on the phone reaching out the bus company and find out. After draining time was told that a driver claimed they were there at 10.49 and we weren't there saying they had a photo.(Huge lie) Where would we be after being 20 mins earlier to pickup up time for an airport transfer if not waiting at the pickup point? Eventually was handed money back which we didn't accept and was told they said you weren't there, we can't do anything. Shocking!
Asked to.speak to the manager and that's where the best part happened.
When asked his name I was answered with a giggle face where he said his name followed by " My name is vey well known here.... Chest out, arrogant, no seeming to care about solve this issue for the guests, honestly shameful!! All I was asking was to provide the service paid for and arrange an airport transfer without having to pay a taxi for double fare. Was refused and told we needed to reach out to the bus company and I was like
I don't even know their business name,
I reserved through the hotel, you guys need to look after us if something this bad happens, got a flight to catch
Please don't make it even worse now. When I asked to show me the CCTV where driver turned up and we weren't outside the spot was told by Mr Manuel Jesús
Oh yes I can, it's your time, I have all day
It's your time you need to catch a flight and got laughed at my face while my partner was shaking and in tears.
Honestly, all this with such an unprofessional behaviour and awful problem solving by the man,I just gave up and had to pay for a private transfer to get is to the airport.
Also,
Please everyone be aware that they promote airport transfer with this company they partner with advertising it as an airport shuttle but it is a big bus indeed taking you no much shorter time at all to the destination than a cheaper public bus.
However great hotel and the staff are lovely. Unfortunately the Director/manager cares more about ruining guests experience with very poor problem solving skills than the hotel reputation.
What a sad hard feeling, won't be back there."
