A stunning disappointment
Traveler Review By: Susan Fernandez from Florida
Date of Visit: February 2005

My family was booked for a week at this hotel. We arrived at different times since we were coming for the wedding of one of my sons. The hotel mistakenly placed my other son and his family in the Royal suites, which had been booked for the honeymoon couple. When the staff was told of the mistake they tried to get us to pay more and keep the room, a classic bait and switch. When we refused, they moved my son and his family into the regular room that we had originally requested, never once apologizing. The promised crib didn't arrive until late in the day. When one of the kids got sick later in the week and we had to take him to our room, the staff at Le Buffet would not let the mother take food out to him. Against their policy, they said. We have since learned that a child drowned in one of the hotel pools a couple of years ago. I think there is a callous disregard for human life at this hotel. I would never return. Whenever we asked for help, there was no manager on duty. We never were allowed to speak to anyone in charge during the entire horrible week we spent there.
