I
am
writing
to
convey
my
immense
disappointment
stemming
from
our
recent
vacation
at
The
Warwick
in
Vanuatu.
This
reservation,
made
through
Luxury
Escapes,
has
culminated
in
an
experience
that
falls
far
short
of
the
advertised
luxury
and
satisfaction
associated
with
your
esteemed
platform.
Our
stay
at
The
Warwick
was
marred
by
a
plethora
of
issues
that
collectively
resulted
in
an
underwhelming
and
distressing
holiday.
I
would
like
to
provide
a
comprehensive
account
of
the
grievances
we
encountered:
**Accommodation
and
Maintenance
Shortcomings**:
The
state
of
the
buildings
left
much
to
be
desired.
Numerous
instances
of
lack
of
maintenance
were
evident:
the
toilet
in
my
room
was
not
securely
fastened
to
the
floor,
guttering
around
the
main
buildings
was
corroded
and
deteriorating,
and
exposed
wiring
was
visible
in
a
common
bathroom
with
tape
haphazardly
applied
to
its
ends.
Paint
in
my
room
was
peeling,
and
pathways
were
riddled
with
holes.
Remarkably,
an
entire
block
of
rooms
endured
a
lack
of
hot
water
during
their
stay,
despite
communication
about
the
issue
not
reaching
higher
management.
Our
room
had
a
smoke
alarm
ripped
off
the
ceiling
and
bare
wires
sticking
out.
Please
refer
to
the
photos.
We
also
had
mould
in
all
3
rooms
on
the
walls
of
the
bathrooms.
**Aged
and
Outdated
Facilities**:
The
resort
itself
is
in
dire
need
of
renovation.
The
overall
appearance,
coupled
with
outdated
furniture
in
the
rooms
and
antiquated
bathrooms,
reflected
a
state
of
neglect.
A
tap
in
the
basin
continuously
dispensed
hot
water,
causing
an
unnecessary
mess.
Moreover,
the
shower
experience
was
far
from
satisfactory.
Even
tiles
coming
off
the
walls.
**Poor
Housekeeping**:
The
level
of
cleanliness
in
our
room
was
deeply
unsatisfactory.
While
the
bed
was
made
daily,
other
surfaces
remained
untouched.
Dust
and
grime
covered
various
surfaces,
and
the
bathroom
was
particularly
distressing,
with
the
toilet
visibly
unclean
throughout
our
stay.
Even
when
we
first
got
let
into
our
rooms
my
daughters
bed
had
sand
in
it.
**Maintenance
Issues**:
Numerous
maintenance
issues
plagued
our
experience.
The
light
in
our
room
malfunctioned,
necessitating
the
removal
of
the
bulb
at
night.
The
door
sensor
was
broken,
emitting
an
incessant
clicking
noise
throughout
the
night,
and
the
key
malfunctioned,
causing
entry
difficulties
4
times
which
we
were
locked
out
of
our
room.
**Dining
Dissatisfaction**:
Our
dining
experiences
at
The
Warwick
were
far
from
satisfactory.
The
Wild
Ginger
Restaurant
provided
mediocre
food
at
exorbitant
prices.
A
mistaken
order
led
to
overcharging,
reflecting
a
lack
of
attention
to
detail.
The
dining
options
presented
to
us
were
below
par
and
did
not
offer
good
value
for
the
money.
Notably,
the
Wild
Ginger
Asian
Fusion
Restaurant
failed
to
meet
expectations.
The
promised
intimate
dining
experience
was
belied
by
a
plastic-laminated
menu
reminiscent
of
a
take-away
shop.
Even
the
teppanyaki
experience
offered
more
value
elsewhere.
The
Buffet
restaurant
was
even
worse
with
limited
variety
and
food
that's
suppose
to
be
hot
was
cold.
The
buffet
breakfast
offered
tasteless,
low-quality
food
and
undrinkable
coffee.
**False
Advertisement**:
The
room
amenities
and
features
did
not
align
with
the
advertised
standards.
The
bed,
promoted
as
a
queen
bed,
was,
in
fact,
a
small
double
bed,
contributing
to
our
overall
discomfort.
Also
states
there
are
vending
machines
onsite
which
there
isn't.
My
wife
was
hungry
and
went
to
the
bar
to
get
some
crisps
and
was
told
that
she
had
to
get
a
taxi
to
the
casino
if
she
wanted
anything.
This
was
at
9pm
which
is
a
joke.
The
rooms
have
no
information
in
regards
to
if
there
is
room
service
or
how
to
get
in
Contact
and
what's
available.
**Facility
Shortages**:
The
resort
suffered
from
a
lack
of
essential
amenities.
Pool
towels
were
consistently
scarce,
and
obtaining
bath
towels
required
daily
reminders.
The
promised
"Kids
Corner"
was
devoid
of
any
amenities,
failing
to
cater
to
its
intended
purpose.
The
Day
Spa
was
absolutely
disgusting
with
brown
water
and
the
rooms
stinking
and
mould
smell
