Cyprus – Money Coast Resort Dec 08/Jan 09
Mr and Mrs Allen Perrin
Appearance Tuesday 23rd December roughly 5pm at Paphos airport.
Cab to get us towards the condo wasn't there. Waited in the primary entry along with a cab driver ultimately resulted in keeping a card with this title. He explained one-word “welcome”.
The cab was filthy exterior and in.
At Money Coast Resort, received a pleasant notice in the Lion Hotels consultant which asked us to some breakfast conference each morning, with the key to Space 321, that the assistant stated had “a sea view”. The area was a two-bedroom condo/collection which we experienced was way too large for the necessity. We delivered to party and requested about shifting to some smaller space. Assistant stated she'd need to talk to her functions supervisor and might return to us. We were togo and delay within the space.
After almost 2 hours waiting (where period we mentioned there is no “welcome pack” within the room for all of US) Iris called right down to party and questioned that which was occurring about shifting to a different space. She was advised nothing have been completed about this since “a push had damaged and everybody was down there”. The assistant called back about 10-15 minutes later to express nothing might be completed about shifting areas before following day.
We chose to rest within the space without unpacking and meet the Lion Resort consultant each morning. It was now nearly 7.30pm. With however no “welcome pack” within the space, we went along and find out what we're able to buy-in the mini mart, that was said to be available until 8pm. We discovered the mini mart closed. Once we hadn't consumed because the in flight dinner, we went towards the resort dining area to consume.
We thought the typical of the meals was bad. The dinner charge us 44 pounds.
We delivered towards the space and discovered the “welcome pack” had appeared.
On closer examination of the condo, we discovered that in one single room, none of the lamps worked, just some within the additional bedroom worked so that as the night time continued, they went until just one was quit operating. The bathroom seat in another of the bathrooms was off. The water taps in the primary en suite toilet wasn't set precisely and swung round. The bathroom flush-drive in most equally bathrooms were free and never precisely completed from the wall. The condo hadn't been effectively washed.
Among The allegedly luxurious amenities was internet entry via the TV. This didn't function. We discovered the furniture within the bar place unpleasant – very difficult – and there have been no scatter pillows to create it smoother. The sound of the raise rising and down– that was located nearly opposite the doorway towards the condo – might be observed constantly. This most surely wasn't luxurious hotel.
Wednesday 24th December 9.30am
Achieved with David, the Lion Resort Consultant at party, who had been a pleasing individual. We recommended he show up towards the condo so we're able to clarify how disappointed we were. On entering the area he couldn't realize why we'd been place in this type of big condo. I recommended that people had been administered among the greatest areas since we'd reported firmly just before our appearance concerning the short-notice change of resort, and also the administration should have believed providing us among the greatest areas within the building might make us content.
Steve got us downstairs towards the Lion Resort practices inside the building and launched us to his Supervisor (Ian), who we repeated our grievances to. After some dialogue, he organized for all of US to see an inferior condo, Room 207. Whilst the space had really already been left, it had been in the centre to be washed. This room was of the a lot more appropriate dimension, with one en suite bedroom, bath, smaller bar and cooking area. Again a few of the room lights didn't function, there have been no bedroom lights for reading (just roof lamps, these which that worked were really gray)
The flush-drive in both bathrooms wasn't precisely completed towards the surfaces as well as in the bath the bathroom chair wasn't mounted.
Whilst The space was more desirable to the requirements, we approved the proceed to Space 207.
Steve said he'd obtain the problems fixed out and also have a reading lighting for that bedroom raised in the workplace.
Once we had likewise mentioned with David about carhire locally, he agreed to consider us into Paphos to some hire company he understood and which may provide us a great price.
On our return using the hire vehicle we gathered our bags from Space 321 and shifted to Space 207.
The repairs hadn't been completed. We described this to Steve’s Supervisor (Ian), who stated that preservation have been informed also it could be accomplished that evening.
6pm 24th December – repairs nevertheless not completed in space. No-contact from Lion Hotels employees whatsoever.
25th December (Christmas Evening)
Air-condition no longer working – coming out heat constantly, whatever environment it had been on.
After one bath drawn in the individual toilet, there is water on the ground – released in the bath case that was not effectively covered.
The washbasins didn't contain the water when blocked.
The eliminate-oxygen models in both bathrooms didn't function.
Again, the TV web service didn't function.
There have been no directions just how to make use of the home gear – hob (which had contact crucial procedure and was complicated) stove, stove lid, stove, dishwasher and washer). The lamps above the oven and also the oven lid didn't function.
There have been no oven gloves.
There is no pleasant guide with resort facts.
The smoke alarm abruptly started bleeping for no obvious cause, and ceased.
26th December – David the Lion Resort repetition. Waved to me when I lay about the porch of the condo - I recognized his trend. There is however no indication of repairs being completed within the condo.
2nd January – at roughly 08.40am all of the energy transpired and returned on around 09.05am. Whenever we called party they stated that the electrical within the entire resort choose to go along.
Shortly following this we'd a mobile call from David the Lion Resort repetition.inviting us to some conference over lunchtime within the dining area 24 hours later. It was the very first contact from anybody from Lion Hotels since 24th December
Sunday 3rd January – repairs still not completed. We achieved with David and had lunch we informed him how sad we were and he'd, because we last met study all of the emails that had gone backwards and forwards and may discover why we were so unhappy.
He go to provide us the sales hype actually understanding herself that it had been a waste of period, (but which was his work). He showed us exactly how we might occupy the rest of the fourteen days of the bundle we'd previously introduced etc. We also achieved among is additional supervisors (Chris) who just believed to me after he'd been informed the problem, “ nicely it's not really a yearround resort and also the climate was good-and atleast we'd had a rest in Cyprus”. I'll state that I had been not so pleased with either of Steve’s mangers that people match.
Steve then told us that his supervisor could be ready to provide us the worthiness of our trip and provide the quantity of £3000 and subtracted it in the package if we registered towards the bundle available. He explained to-go away and consider it and appear at a few of the locations we're able to visit with this outstanding 14 days he offered us his publications to appear during that night and believed to satisfy him for breakfast next day.
Sunday 4th January - We achieved David at breakfast and after breakfast transpired steps towards the Lion Hotels practices, we advised him that people had no purpose of registering fully bundle which didn't come like a shock to him. Nevertheless as we had stated that he couldn't eliminate people fast enough. From then till we quit on Wednesday 6th Jan we didn't have any more connection with anybody from Lion Hotels, aside from David informing me in moving the cab might choose us up from party at 2:30pm. It had been exactly the same filthy cab and cab driver we'd whenever we came this time around he didn't claim something performed his music loud completely towards the airport exposed the trunk and strolled down to gather various other bad sole.
We were cause genuinely believe that we were likely to be remaining in a 4/5 star luxury collection in an exceedingly high quality resort, what we really got was an poor quality, useless concrete container. It has been the toughest hotel that people have remained set for more than 15 years.
The emails before we quit show that people weren't pleased about being transferred at such short-notice, despite having been informed before we booked our routes that people were likely to be staying in the Cypria Maris Resort that will be where we'd initially reserved.
If we'd been proven the Administrative Centre Coast Resort at that time we'd not have introduced and taken care of the bundle we've. We introduced the bundle we did due to the area and also the collection we'd been proven and also the proven fact that we're able to contain it at that time of year we desired.
I'm that people must have been provided the chance to possess drawn from the bundle we'd bought and had our money returned, but no alternatively we were deceive by Lion Hotels to consider the vacation in the Money Coastline resort which was not even close to the conventional we'd been cause think it'd be, in an area that people didn't actually want to maintain and wound up having what's ended up to become the toughest vacation expertise we've had in 15 years. Along side being almost £3000 along overall unpleasant experience.
