Formal Complaint – Severe Service Failure and Financial Loss at Hotel Diamante K, Tulum||My partner and I had an extremely disappointing and distressing experience at Hotel Diamante K. What was meant to be a relaxing vacation turned into a series of preventable issues caused by poor service, dishonesty, and lack of accountability from the hotel.||Before arrival, the hotel confirmed via WhatsApp our fully prepaid $200 airport transfer, assuring us that a driver would meet us upon landing. When we arrived in Cancun, no transportation was provided. After more than 30 minutes of unanswered calls to both the hotel and the transportation company, we were told no ride had been scheduled. When we sent screenshots proving the confirmed booking and payment, the hotel staff gave conflicting explanations—first claiming the driver had an accident, then saying the booking “was never confirmed.”||After being stranded for over two hours at the airport, we were forced to take a taxi at our own expense ($180) to reach the property. Despite clear written proof of prepayment and communication, the hotel refused to reimburse either the original transfer or the additional taxi fare, leaving us with nearly $400 in unnecessary expenses.||Upon arrival, things deteriorated further. The room was in poor and unsanitary condition—the bed canopy was stained, the air circulation was nonexistent because the windows would not open, there were bugs on the floor, and the shower had almost no water pressure. The “eco-friendly” marketing appears to be an excuse for substandard maintenance and cleanliness.||The following day, we sought help from the front desk about visiting the nearby ruins. The staff provided us with only one wristband, assuring us that it would grant both entry and transportation. This turned out to be completely false. After walking long distances in the rain and being turned away multiple times, we learned that two additional wristbands were required—information the hotel failed to disclose. When we returned to clarify, the staff dismissed our concerns and blamed the national park, showing zero willingness to help or take responsibility. This review does not include the fact that my partner was creeped on by the staff through the rooms floorboards, or that the room was f||Overall, Hotel Diamante K demonstrated clear negligence and bad faith. They failed to deliver paid services, misled us about key arrangements, and provided unclean and unsafe accommodations. My partner had to cover additional, unexpected expenses due entirely to the hotel’s failure to perform its obligations.||This experience not only caused financial loss but also ruined our trip to Tulum.
