Reservé una habitación doble deluxe en este hotel, específicamente porque las fotos en la plataforma mostraban un jacuzzi en el balcón, lo cual fue un factor determinante para mi elección. Al llegar, me di cuenta de que la habitación no tenía jacuzzi, a pesar de que las imágenes inducen claramente a pensar que sí lo tendría. Esto me llevó a contactar inmediatamente al hotel.
El servicio al cliente fue decepcionante: aunque reconocieron que las fotos podían ser confusas, se limitaron a decir que en las especificaciones estaba indicado que solo ciertas habitaciones tienen jacuzzi. Esto resulta confuso y puede inducir a errores a los huéspedes, como ocurrió en mi caso. Además, no ofrecieron ninguna solución concreta ni compensación, dejando la impresión de una gestión poco profesional y sin interés en la satisfacción del cliente.
Si bien la ubicación del hotel puede ser atractiva, esta experiencia deja mucho que desear. Recomiendo a futuros huéspedes revisar muy bien las descripciones y no dejarse guiar únicamente por las fotos, ya que podrían llevarse una gran decepción. El hotel debería ser más transparente con sus imágenes y ofrecer un mejor servicio al cliente en situaciones como esta.
