Le Cardinal Exclusive Golf Resort & Spa

Charlene Ponpon

The size of the room and the ocean view were amazing and that's why I probably booked the hotel. Food were yummy but there is limited choice. CONS: the room was quite dusty and under the bed was horrible, no tooth brush and tooth paste provided;and I was asked to go to the shop to buy same, entertainment was held at the partner hotel so you have to cross the road to go there, you have only one meal at the restaurant and if you ask for a supplement of the same plate , you have to pay for it even if it's all inclusive package, we were refused one supplement ice cream for my son and they say kitchen is closed. I had one guest who came to have lunch with us and he came 20 mins before checking-out and they called immediately to say rudely that they have camera and he should not access the room. I informed the staff the day before about having guests and he could have shared the rules. Not even a birthday wish from the staff and neither a small treat since I informed them the reason I booked for one night. They check- us in the room 1hour and 40 mins later as they couldn't find my reservation They made false promise about late check-out the next day; knowing they already had bookings. The overall service was poor not worth a 5 star hotel. Parking space is only for 3 cars and you have to again park at the neighbor hotel if fully book. No toilet on the ground floor I was disappointed and would not hotel recommend this hotel at all although the view was breath-taking! .

Everything was perfect for a day package, it was wonderful! 🤩 Except the food portion needs improvement; the grilled fish was too small for adults 😅 But overall, I had a wonderful time! #DayTrip #PackageDeal #Travel #Food #Fish #Vacation #Fun

I had a deeply disappointing experience at this hotel. While the team made efforts to address the issues, the same cannot be said for the Food & Beverage (F&B) Manager, whose handling of the situation was both unprofessional and unacceptable. I had booked an End-of-Year (EOY) party for my team, specifically requesting and receiving confirmation for a privatized space. This was thoroughly discussed and approved ahead of time. However, on the day of the event, we were unexpectedly placed in the common restaurant alongside other customers, completely disregarding the agreed arrangement. To make matters worse, the cocktail reception was set up beside the pool, where children were playing. This was far from appropriate, especially given that our CEO was scheduled to deliver a speech during the cocktail hour. The environment was chaotic, unsuitable for such an occasion, and clearly not in line with the standards we expected. When I raised these concerns with the F&B Manager, his response was nothing short of shocking. He dismissively stated, and I quote, "You didn't buy the hotel." Such a remark is entirely unbecoming of someone in the hospitality industry, where customer service and effective communication should be paramount. This experience has left a lasting negative impression, and while I appreciate the efforts of the rest of the team, the lack of professionalism from the F&B Manager was unacceptable and deeply disappointing.
