But then again I met the owner last time and got a poolside for under 400,000
I think the power of this forum is much greater than people think.
As fast as it comes it will go!
Theses small hotels have no way of running like a normal hotel,they cannot handle the influx of guests.
The manager left SGI and the owner is not computer literate so emails just don't get answered or read.
When they did opened their mail they had well over 1000 email booking requests.
The owners partner is convinced the staff are letting rooms on the side and keeping the money so she follows them everywhere.
I cant believe that they put the prices up to 400,000 for upstairs rooms.This is pure greed.
Even I booked elsewhere for my next trip!
This is no longer a good value cheap hotel so I think it will go back to being half empty and a lot cheaper as people read these comments.
Once you recommend on a public forum to stand the chance of spoiling a good thing!
