Pros:

La situation de l hotel et le petit déjeuner varié....Dommage que je n'ai pas pu me baigner mon séjour aurait été parfait...

Cons:

Madame, Monsieur,
Je vous contacte suite à une réservation effectuée via votre plateforme pour un séjour dans l’établissement [Barcelo Cabo de Gatal], du [03 au 06 mai] sous le numéro de réservation [6764984230].
La présence d’une piscine, clairement mise en avant dans les photos et la présentation de l’établissement sur votre site, a constitué un critère déterminant dans mon choix.
Or, à mon arrivée, j’ai constaté que la piscine principale (adultes) était fermée et inaccessible. La seule information mentionnant une fermeture concernait une “piscine 2”, indiquée de manière peu visible et surtout ambiguë, laissant penser qu’il s’agissait de la pataugeoire pour enfants, et non de la piscine principale illustrée dans les photos.
Cette situation constitue, selon moi, une information insuffisante et trompeuse, ne permettant pas au client de comprendre clairement l’indisponibilité d’un équipement essentiel du séjour.
En conséquence, je considère que la prestation fournie n’est pas conforme à celle présentée lors de la réservation.
Je vous remercie donc d’intervenir auprès de l’établissement afin d’obtenir un remboursement partiel du séjour à titre de dédommagement.
Dans l’attente de votre retour, je vous remercie par avance pour votre aide dans la résolution de ce litige. Au regard de ces éléments, je sollicite un remboursement partiel à hauteur de 100 €.
Cordialement,
