"We stayed at this hotel the night before in one of their villas and had planned a special Mother’s Day lunch and birthday celebration for our mom at the hotel’s restaurant. I made the reservation THREE WEEKS in advance, and nothing was explained to me over the phone about any issues or limitations.
Unfortunately, there was a major mistake with our reservation, but what was even worse was the behavior of the restaurant manager. Instead of trying to help or find a solution so our family celebration wouldn’t be ruined, he was incredibly rude, dismissive, and unapologetic the entire time. His attitude showed absolutely no empathy or professionalism.
We were left standing there with hungry children on Mother’s Day weekend, stressed that our family might end up without a table or food, while the manager simply kept saying there was nothing he could do.
Mistakes can happen anywhere, but the way this situation was handled was honestly embarrassing for a hotel restaurant. What should have been a beautiful family celebration became a very disappointing and stressful experience because of the manager’s behavior."
