Well,
typically things were still not running as smoothly as we might have
liked. On returning to our room from poolside earlier, shall we just say
that housekeeping had not quite done their job. To put things into
context, the rack rate for the room we were staying was in excess of
US$250 per night, so certain minimum standards might have reasonably
been expected.
After pointing this
out, before heading to the hospital, we went on to spend a relaxing
evening over a few cocktails and supper.
After
our chariot - a blinged up red tuk tuk with stainless steel hand rails
and a blue neon light in the back, switched on especially for the
delectation of passengers, and a massive Kenwood sound system on its slim rear shelf - bore us back to the hotel (narrowly avoiding spilling us out on the way)!.
On
arrival we were ambushed by one of the many managers (manager of what
I'm not entirely sure - palm trees, perhaps) insisting we join him for a
drink, apologising profusely for the housekeeping deficiencies on top
of everything else. Apology graciously accepted, we arrived back in our
room to find fresh flowers, a room that gleamed as though it had been
cleaned inch by inch with a toothbrush and a bed topped off with sheets
so smooth they looked as though they'd been ironed in situ and yet more
towel sculptures - elephants clutching flowers this time!
Mistakes
happen, but I have to give this place full marks for listening to
comments and acting on them. A huge room with a huge bed, fantastic
ocean facing view and now pristine with a pair or resident ellies....the
80s decor in the restaurant could be forgiven....and, most importantly,
LP and I were having a wonderful time....
Later.....
