Although round trip airport transfer was included in my rate and the hotel confirmed via e-mail that they would pick me up, no van or car arrived to fetch me. I called the hotel and was told they were sending someone but after waiting an additional 20 minutes, I opted to take a taxi instead. Upon arrival, I clearly saw 2 vans in front of the hotel but was told that the vans were under maintenance. I’m not sure why this wasn’t clearly conveyed when I called from the airport?!!?
