"Overall, I really liked the resort's environment; the scenery was beautiful, and the rooms were very comfortable. Therefore, I booked a 6-day, 5-night stay including breakfast, hoping for a relaxing vacation. However, during my stay, problems with the resort's room service and restaurant management severely impacted my overall experience.
First, the lock on the front door of my room had a significant problem and was very difficult to lock. To avoid frequently contacting resort staff and not wanting to add extra burden to the resort, I had to use the back door almost every day during my stay. As a resort, room door locks are a basic facility, and such a problem should have been repaired promptly, not left for guests to adapt to.
Second, the housekeeping service standards were noticeably inconsistent before and after my stay. For the first three days, the room was cleaned very thoroughly each day, and the bed, sleeping bag, and kitchen area were all carefully tidied. However, starting from the fourth day, the quality of room service noticeably declined:
● The kitchen sink area was no longer cleaned; beverage cups, tissues, coconut shells, and sand brought back from the beach from the previous day were left untouched.
● The sleeping bag, which was usually neatly made daily, was no longer folded but simply rolled up and stuffed into the bed.
This change wasn't isolated but occurred repeatedly, making it difficult to understand why the resort adopted completely different cleaning standards during the same stay. As a guest staying for more than five nights, I expected consistent and stable room service, not a decline in service quality with longer stays.
Furthermore, the resort's restaurant food deserves praise. We ate there almost daily, both lunch and dinner, and the overall quality was very high, comparable to Pacific Resort, and some dishes even surpassed it.
Unfortunately, the restaurant service contrasted sharply with the food. Service efficiency, communication, and management all need improvement, and I even felt a degree of preferential treatment.
My biggest disappointment was a dinner reservation. To ensure a smooth dining experience, I confirmed and booked dinner for the same evening with three different staff members. Throughout the booking process, I noticed their indifference and even a lack of responsiveness. However, when we arrived at the restaurant at the agreed time, we were told that there was no reservation for us. As a guest, I had confirmed three times, yet this mistake still occurred. This is entirely a problem with the resort's internal communication and management, and the guests should not bear the consequences.
I expressed my strong dissatisfaction at the time. Fortunately, a female employee who saw us daily and knew us well stepped in to coordinate and eventually arranged seats for us. I was very grateful for her help. Without her, the meal might not have been possible.
Overall, this resort boasts excellent facilities, a comfortable environment, and high-quality food, which should have provided a satisfying vacation experience. However, inadequate facility maintenance, inconsistent room service standards, and chaotic restaurant management and insufficient service quality ultimately dragged down the overall experience.
I am raising these concerns not merely to express dissatisfaction, but because I sincerely hope the resort will address these issues, improve its service management, and ensure that its services truly match its superior facilities and beautiful environment."
