Younger Staff Need a Course on Customer Service
I'll try to be fair writing this review as I've been to Mexico well over two dozen times. I picked this resort for its authentic offerings, but the resort does need some updating. I'm able to accept that updates are needed given that it is an older hotel, however, my biggest concern and the reason why I would not be going back is the Rudeness and lack of customer service by a number of their staff - primarily the younger staff. To be fair, overall the more senior or older staff or much more pleasant. On the bright side, they had one staff member Guadalupe who provided excellent service and friendliness. When it came to the bartenders, Ivan and Israel, they generally do not seem happy doing their job and are rude to customers Who are not local (Mexican). When there was an influx of Mexican tourist, we certainly felt like second or third class customers. Also, I was very surprised that after checking out at 11 AM but with our transportation to the airport, not until 1:30 PM I made a simple request to just walk through the resort instead of staying in the lobby area which was their preference to keep you prisoner there. I was wanting to access the public beach and not utilize any of their amenities however, one security officer (Esteffany) was extremely confrontational. I advised her that I spoke to the front desk and they said it would be fine just don't use any of the loungers. Regardless, I left my suitcases in the lobby area and then walked two blocks to get access to the beach through the resort beside this hotel. If you are on the fence about going to Las Palmas by the Sea, then I would highly recommend you think twice or more before going. Their preference to locals over any Canadian tourist, and second, general rudeness by a number of their staff guaranteed that I will not be returning to this property.
