Really disappointing stay.
We booked Seaside Hotel specifically for the wellness facilities. The sauna and steam room were a big part of why we chose this property at this price point. During our stay, a wind event led to what they called “force majeure,” and half the hotel was effectively shut down, including the spa facilities. No alternatives were offered. No extended hours. Nothing.
I completely understand prioritizing safety. What I don’t understand is how you can close major amenities and still expect guests to pay the full $600+ nightly rate without any adjustment. When a significant portion of what you’re selling isn’t available, the price should reflect that. That’s basic fairness.
What made it worse was the follow-up, or lack of it. After raising the issue, the executive team said they would “look into it.” No one ever got back to me. I had to chase them down myself just to get closure, and even then the answer was essentially no compensation, no credit, nothing. Just a rigid stance and a shrug.
For a hotel that markets itself as luxury, the service recovery was anything but. Luxury isn’t just nice furniture and a beach location. It’s how you handle problems. They failed that test.
There are plenty of hotel options in Maspalomas at this price point. This one is absolutely avoidable.
