The hotel’s architecture, the landscaping , the pool, the spa, the food and the cleanliness are all great, but the service is the poorest I have ever experienced at a Ritz-Carlton property. The staff are truly lovely and very hard working, but their training is clearly lacking, procedures are haphazard and the property is not led well by the GM. I had to make many, many complaints - handled well by the F&B manager, Fethi and the Hosptality manager, Elaine (she is AMAZING and without her personal intervention and incredible support, we would have left after the first couple of days), but the despite this, did not see the GM at all, not once, around the property. In the end, I made an appointment to see him and he didn’t turn up for the appointment! He did apologize for not coming, claiming he had been at another appointment that over ran, but that sort of poor management, attention to detail and downright rudeness is a clear example of all that is wrong with his hotel. I would never stay there again and indeed, am reconsidering my 20 years of loyalty to Ritz-Carlton properties. A bitterly, bitterly disappointing trip.
