게일 마이애미 호텔 앤 레지던스

I'm a 78 yr old lady who chose the Gale for its proximity to the CruiseTerminal. At Registration I was givn a piece of paper to sign. With people queuing behind one, there was no chance to read about the MANDATORY US $35 per day. for the so called Destination' charges. For this fee they offer Beach facilities which requires one to take a taxi. So stricktly speaking ,it's not AT THE DESTINATION .Having Googled the Water safety level, it was listed BELOW safe standards. With our Magnificent Aussie Beaches, why would you expose yourself to the risk bacteria in the water - justmbecause theyncompelled you t pay for it? At my Age, I no longer use a Gym. When I objected to the 'concealed' charges to the Manager, she just shrugged her shoulders, and said you got 2 bottles of water, and coffee. I wouldn't have worried about the charge if I stayed a single night, but I was booked in for multiple nights - to rest between cruises. I offered topay the US$12 for the water and whatever for 4 coffee pods - still no go. Agold's site did not indicate that further costs would be associated. I've been to exactly 103 countries,; I do have a University Degree in Hotel Management, so I have a very good idea of what is acceptable practice, and this is certainly NOT. Also Housekeeping Service is not offered. With 2 tissues remaining in a box, I had to use toilet paper to wipe my nose. This is NOT a budget hotel. I always share my travel 'finds' with friends in numerous Countries, and as much as I found the Hotel great, the Management & their surrepticious practices & policies are grossly unethical.
