The property itself is OK, although the facilities seem better on paper than they actually are.
The biggest challenge though is poor management. Some examples:
- Check-in took more than an hour. Room not available even at 6:00 pm which is 3 hrs after the check in time.
- we had booked 6 rooms. It is reasonable to assume that the hotel would be able to atleast allocate them near each other. Wasn't the case. The hotel thought it would be fine for parents and kids to stay in non-adjacent rooms. This despite a prior request for connecting rooms.
- Ham and cheese sandwich at the main restaurant 'ran out'. Not sure what that even means. Next morning at the breakfast, butter 'sold out'.
- while staff was courteous and friendly, they are clearly not trained properly thus creating a very uneven service experience.
- No activity is available unless you book 24 hrs in advance. Hard to have a holiday that way.
- There were billing and charging errors and check-out took another 45 mins.
- When we escalated the various issues, the duty manager did address some of those and throw in some perks, however, some of the issues are structural and the management would be well-advised to fix them at the root.
- regards theproperty itself, it's a smallish property with only 1 restaurant, not too many activities/facilities and the beach is a bit underwhelming. Food quality was middling. On the plus side, the rooms are decent, the pool is good.
We would not be back at Movenpick any time soon.
