Melia Ho Tram is proud to be one of the top ten resorts in Vietnam. We read many positive reviews about the resort and so we chose to stay for 4 nights. However, we were quite disappointed with the standard as a five star resort. We did not enjoy our stay as we wished!
The front counter service at the breakfast restaurant was not very welcoming. After we gave our feedback to staff at reception, the following days we were offered seating at The Level area. To us, this was unnecessary.
On our second night, we had dinner at Muoi restaurant. We ordered three dishes, of which two dishes were not warm enough. We talked to the manager and the dishes were brought back to the kitchen and replaced, yet the temperature was still not right. Our excitement for dinner was diminished. To compensate our disappointment, the manager offered us a bowl of noodle and a dish of honey roasted pork ribs, which this time the temperature was right. Although we were not charged for the meal as a "compensation", our dining was ruined! As a five star restaurant and it is pricey, the food should be served at the right standard from the beginning.
One day before we checked out, we found out by chance at reception that we could get 10% discount if we used HSBC card to pay for our meals at the restaurants. We were not advised about this at check in or at the restaurants. All we got was an apology and this matter will be brought to management to train staff properly! Melia, it's disappointing!!!
