This hotel is NOT a 5 star hotel. I do not recommend that you stay at the hotel unless you are looking for a 1 or 2 star experience. Management is unresponsive. Below is an excerpt from an email to Ms Rooij, the assistant manager. I NEVER received a reply email;
Ms Rooij,
We appreciate the time you spent with us this morning and your email below.
First, kindly email me a folio showing the room rates which I prepaid and all other items charged to my credit card. I did not receive a folio upon our departure from the Hotel and none was sent to me by email. I note the following charges have been charged to my credit card and I need an explanation:
29 April 2024 USD 357.64, presumably the valet parking charge.
29 April 2024 USD 90.35, presumably the applicable tourist taxes.
3 May 2024 USD 112.69. Dinner at the Wave.
4 May 2024 USD 74.13. Dinner at the Wave.
6 May 2024 USD 256.83, an unknown charge.
And an unknown credit dated 6 May 2024 in the account of USD 356.41.
Second, as I told you this morning, I was charged for valet parking but the Hotel did not provide me with the agreed upon valet parking. This is wholly unacceptable. You cannot charge a guest, or expect to be paid, for services you did not render or provide. I had no interest in purchasing self-parking from the Hotel, nor did I expect to be the valet. You purport to be a 5 star hotel, but you have fallen woefully short, which you acknowledged to us in the presence of your colleagues. We paid to stay at a 5 star hotel, which was not the case during our stay. At a minimum, I expect a full refund of the valet parking charges and such other compensation you feel is appropriate under the circumstances. In order to avoid a dispute, I recommend that you immediately refer this matter to your General Manager who was unavailable to speak with us this morning so that we can attempt to reach an amicable resolution of this dispute.
Thank you and regards,
