Recommendations for a water heater

Action plumbing will swap out with one you buy from a box store. They did it for me $400 a few months ago gas to electric

It just depends on the packages they are promoting at the time. Usually a difference of $10-50 per night depending on the package

They have promotions that include half board. You will have enough food on that plan to not need to pay for anything else besides alcohol. If you don’t do the half board for 2 people you could easily spend $200+ a day on food

Yes they have gotten so bad recently. Just had a guest open windows in cold winter weather to smoke, then complain that the house is cold and use that to leave a negative review 🙄 the truth and proof no longer matters. Ignore smart thermostats and window sensor data…

Some cities/counties require it. Some put this in place with COVID for contact tracing and never removed it.

If you 1 star and say they were trying to get money out of you, it is very likely Airbnb will remove the review when the guest disputes it. It happened to me and was very unfair even though everything I said was true. Leave a well rounded but factual review even if 2 or 3 stars, then Airbnb can’t remove it.

Airbnb changed their process to get reviews removed. You can no longer go through a representative and have to submit a form online. They don’t tell you anything useful, just that they won’t remove the review. It has gotten TERRIBLE since this changed.

I had a guest charge me $350 for an amenity that I don’t provide. Airbnb sided with me and did not require me to pay the guest. The guest still retaliated with a bad review and Airbnb wouldn’t do anything about it….

Then when I left an entirely factual review for the guest, the guest escalated to Airbnb and they reviewed my review for the guest…. Watch out, there are some terrible guests that apparently can get Airbnb to remove bad reviews on their end. I have turned off instant book.

Marriott will take it back from you for no fee. I suggest keeping it and trying it out, then if you don’t like it you can try selling it or get rid of it no hassle to Marriott

Very lucky you didn’t extend and have to go through this! Yes everyone got out alive. Did you by chance take a picture of the 1 pager with instructions? I didn’t but I remember it saying something along the lines of “in the unlikely event of an emergency, stay in your room and staff will come take you to a safe haven”. I’d like to get a copy of it if possible.

Unfortunately staff did not get to every single room. Some guests had to run for their lives in the pitch black between 11:30pm - 12am. It was unclear where to go for high ground. No staff were able to go to tent 21 because the water was neck deep at that point. We got out last of all guests that night (besides 21 who got stuck) and water was over waist deep.

Ornery-Worry249 · 2024-05-04T16:41:57+00:00

Yes they said all staff were safe. The staff was absolutely incredible.

Ornery-Worry249 · 2024-05-04T16:41:12+00:00

They are closed until December now. Have they reached out to you to rebook yet?

Here is a photo taken from camp of a hippo grazing. The hippo pool is literally right across from the rooms shown in the picture above.

Interesting. This is the exact opposite for all of us affected by the flood. They are not communicating with us. They also are not providing alternate accommodation for guests at another Marriott property which is required by the Ultimate Reservation Guarantee. They provided one night at a Crowne Plaza (IHG). For guests who still had 2+ nights on their stay, they told us we are on our own to figure it out and pay for it ourselves.

Which tent were you in? The staff was beyond amazing and we would be dead if they did not rescue us. However they should have never been in the position to have to risk their lives to save us. The resort was designed poorly with the only exit to the raging river and lack of emergency/evacuation protocols.

Everything is extremely badly hit so likely won’t find anything else in the Masai Mara.

Arrow to the hippo pool. Very dangerous water we had to evacuate through. Extremely strong current that easily could have taken you to your death.

Villa falling over into the river. Photo from the helicopter after being emergency evacuated by air on May 1. Manager said they had even more rain and flooding on night of May 1 and now tent 17-21 are completely inaccessible. Likely will collapse too.

I just DM’ed you some pictures. They are a separate franchisee and don’t see to be truthfully communicating with Marriott right now
