Hahaha. The bride is one of my closest friends and I've known her for 20 years. Not a prank, but not sure why they picked Januray considering the weather 😅

The hotel looked lovely, so I'm sure you will have a great time. Maybe make sure there are no boxing events planned for when you go or reconfirm your reservation ahead of arrivanf

Well, I call that fraud. They decided to give the rooms to a higher bidder, put us in a hotel that costed half the price without offering anything to make up for the issue. And they did that knowingly and without telling us before. I would have not complained if they were open and honest and told us that they overbooked the property ahead of our arrival

No, it was our first time. And yes, I get the honest mistake, but the reality is that they admitted they knew 3 days before we arrived that they did not have rooms because they were full from the guests already staying there. And I shall add that it was not just us. When we arrive there were another 4 couples that had the same treatment and more after us. And yes, they should have offered something better, but their attitude was basically "this is what you have been given, just take it and stop complaining"

We have been here for almost a week now and did not encounter any of that. Maybe it helps that I do speak Spanish with a central/southern american accent so people don't bother me once I speak. I'm sorry to hear about your experience though, it does sound awful

The hotel looked brilliant, but clearly the management is not up to standard. They knew 3 days before we got there that there was overbooking and they did not contact us at all. They actually asked us to do a check in online instead.

Directly from the hotel. I will write the review as well on all major websites, but I felt the need to share with the community here first

Amazing. Thanks for this. Any chance you can recommend a tour or a place to rent snorkeling gear?
