Travelling back to back over the last four weeks where we stayed at Sheraton hotels throughout with exceptional service, Denarau location was nothing but disappointing. As Elite guest checking in the front desk didn’t know how to manage our reservations and request. Having two rooms with two different check out dates were mixed up. We approached the front desk 3 times to get it corrected but didn’t happen. Spoke with Sharrol manager on duty who assured us it was corrected and day of checkout both room keys didn’t work. Again went to the front desk who informed us it was never corrected. Felt like we were doing numerous follow up to get things corrected.
Housekeeping, where do I start… day 1 everything was great, the next 4 days we found ourselves running after housekeeping to get towels. With rooms with 4 guest each they would only place two towels, no hand towels or mats. Shampoo/conditioner/body wash nothing replenished. It was a nightmare especially with children and coming back from swimming having to track housekeeping down. We did have the head of housekeeping come and apologize but this was the day before we were leaving.
Pool services sucked. Zero service by the pool. You would have to wave staff down and they would look at you but finish their conversation and then come to you. Service was painfully slow!
Our 5 day stay here was frustrating and exhausting. Majority of the time we found ourselves using facilities outside the hotel and eating out.
I would give this place a 2 star rating it giving it a 3 due to the chefs who went out of their way to cater for a celebration dinner that had dietary requirements.
There are a lot of operational gaps at this resort. Training and coaching is a concern but the management needs to step it up. There are SO many managers at each level that to get anything done you have to go through multiple people, which causes delays and frustration. Seems like their process is extremely micro managed. They need to empower employees to make decision to avoid customer service issues. I hope this location steps up their game and provide the same level of service that other Sheraton/Marriott properties do.
