Thefts in Las Chapas - Marina. Date of travel: Jul 2008
We just came from the Hotel Las Chapas, where we stayed with our friends for a couple of weeks, and first of all we need to inform everybody about the thefts in this hotel! We and our friends were both robbed staying in different rooms! Moreover, as we understood it is very common there! One of tourist was robbed even in hotel restaurant! Although managers were “surprised” and just say sorry and a few minutes later even started laugh! All our things in rooms were “hustled”; security locks of our suitcases were broken; money and things were disappeared, while we were out of rooms. There is no any security system in the hotel; anybody can come to the territory! The staff are presented by very very low qualified emigrants and partly Spanish, who don’t speak English at all and most probably low paid, what is for sure favourable for the hotel management! We pay quite high price for staying in Las Chapas – for dirty old fashioned small rooms, for the flies around the pool, for awful food, which good just may be for shelter for homelessness. We need to mention about nice territory with pines, but it is the plus of the region and nature, but not of hotel, location is bad – highway with its noise is very close to hotel! Hotel doesn’t care about its quality, its staff, its services, its reputation and its clients!
