We stayed in the hotel for 2 nights (06-08) and booked 3 rooms, which was enough to know we will never come back to this place. it was a shocking, horrible, nightmare experience...
The hotel surrounding is lovely, rooms are very nice and cozy , wellness area is huge and pleasant, but all got overshadowed by the terrible , unprofessional service provided especially at the reception.
Check in:
We arrived at approx 2:30pm after long drive to the hotel. When we Went to the reception and I started explaining that we have a reservation the response With NO âgood afternoonâ, or âhow was your tripâ, or even " welcome in our resort, how can I help?" was straight forward saying: system is down and check in is from 4pm and you HAVE to come back this time. Didnât even offer: would you like to wait in our Lobby Bar and have a glass of wine or hot tea or something to eat. So we asked if we can leave at least the car somewhere, have a meal in their restauran. The answer was " you can leave your car at the car park", without explaining how to ger there and how to pass the gate system ( we have got this information when the other receptionist steps in into the conversation and explained how to ger there and where to find the restaurant).
After lunch wewent back to the reception for check in and spoke to the same rude girl which kept her snappy attitude . Didnât explain where the rooms are, how to get there, no: â have a pleasant stayâ or âis anything else I can help you withâ or not even â have a good evening â. Just brushed off. When I asked if one of the rooms is with two separate beds ( as I requested with the booking) the answer was: â I donât have this information in the system, if there is no 2 separate beds contact the reception â.To top all the horror show at reception, she gave us the wrong car park sticker which moved us to another shocking experience at the carpark next day when my father in law has been attacked by the member of car park staff saying that he has no right to park in the garage. To be fair, when we reported this incident to another receptionist, the problem has been resolved straight away with an apology and car park feerefund "Yes, it was our mistak, so sorry for that ". This was the only one, professional, helpful and friendly service provided by one of the girls at the reception.
Restaurant:
We went to their main restaurant and one more disappointment there. Food is nice, but service is shockingly slow, without any professional service roles, place full of flies around (my mom nearly swallowed one of them, when we flagged this issue to the waiter the answer was I donât know), when all the main courses has been served excluding my mums dish, when we asked another waitress why missing dish has still not been served the answer was again: donât knowâ.
Room service:
My sister tried to order pizza by the room service after 8pm and has been told by the receptionist in charge that the restaurant is closed now and that room service ended at 8pm and if she wanna order anything she HAS to go to lobby bar and order herself (room service until midnight on hotel website and restaurant menu). Tgere was nothing like: "Im very sorry, we don't take any more orders from Piatti restaurant ( even when restaurant should be open until 9pm) but can I offer you something from the lobby bar menu, or a sandwich or even bowl of soup..." I went to lobby bar myself and spoke to a extremely nice and competent girl that confirmed room service is provided until midnight and She will deliver the order herself from the lobby bar.
Rooms
Rooms are huge and modern, but donât expect to have your tv working without call the reception. Several times we needed to call the useless reception to get it working.
One of our rooms hasnât been cleaned until we requested this at the reception ( it was after 4pm).
It was several issues with TV - apparently due to the network issue. On our 1st day there was no TV signal for over 1.5h. When we reported this to the reception the answer was: "we working on, be patience". Again, no apology, no we very sorry for this etc.
Management
We request to see manager 2 times on our 1st day but unfortunately Duty Manager didn't find the time to see us. Only on the 2nd day in the late afternoon my partner was talking to very professional, helpful and friendly manager who apologise for any inconvenience and offered us nice cake and prosecco in their lobby bar.
To sum it up, if you were looking for to spend your holidays in a 5 stars hotel, with great and professional service, a place you can enjoy your holidays and donât worry about anything.THIS IS NOT THE PLACE. Terrible experience thank to the shockingly untrained, rude, definitely not helpful and friendly and unprofessional staff ( excluding one lovely girl at the reception and one professional manager).
