Floral Shire Resort

The price is good. The room is large enough. The bed is comfortable. Luckily, it’s within walking distance to other restaurants.

I’ve been travelling around the world for 11 solid years and this hotel absolutely has the rudest, worst, most disinterested desk clerks that I’ve ever encountered. The cleaning ladies and airport shuttle drivers are nice. But both the night and daytime receptionist could not have been more rude and uncaring. I’ve seen the same complaint regarding the desk clerks in other reviews on this property and assumed it was an exaggeration. It’s definitely not. I couldn’t get them to answer the simplest questions regarding what time should I leave for the airport to make my flight on time, among others. It wasn’t because of a language barrier. In the land of smiles, all I saw were frowns. They should find a new job that they can at least fake enjoying. The hotel is still good value for the money and location but just don’t expect to feel welcome while you are there. The breakfast also looked horrible.

Stainless steel electric jug in room for a morning coffee. Quick check-in (grateful for this at 0200). Unanticipated freshly ground coffee bean machine in downstairs lobby on the way out (grateful for this at 0700 checkout).

Pickup driver alluding for a tip. Place was quite old.

Long way from the good bars
