Worst holiday ever at the Emerald River Resort

My family and I were booked at the River Resort from the 27 - 30 December 2015. I had been to Emerald on 2 occasions as a day visitor and had a pleasant experience. We celebrated Christmas in Mpumalanga then drove to Emerald on the 27th. After several hours of driving we could not wait to check in and rest. At the reception we received very very bad service. Seeing that my parents were very tired and my father's health was not good I decided to let it go so that he can go and rest. When we got at the chalet we could not believe the state of the chalet. It was dirty, the floor tiles were eroded, one of the toilets was leaking, one of the kitchen sinks was also leaking, the coaches were very dirty, the tv was not working well, the fire alarm went off twice (over 2 days) because we were taking a shower and took forever for the security to attend to it, the lounge curtains needed to be replaced etc. On the day we arrived the lady at the reception refused to change our chalet, saying that all of them look the same. I feel this was **************** because we didn't get value for our money. I took pictures of all these things im talking about.

Hello CarolineM,

Thank you for taking my call and as promised I will investigate which of our reception employees interacted with your family on check in and why the service staff at River Resort did not take action or deal with the concerns that you raised at the time. You have my assurance that we take all complaints very seriously and appropriate action will be taken to rectify.

Again, I apologise for the service that you received and as communicated to you in my email to you, a formal letter of apology will be sent to you together with an invitation for you to visit us again.
