Bad Experience

<p>On 30 December 2016 I stayed over at the Protea Hotel Samrand. What a bad taste it left in my mouth. Tried to order sweet white wine by bottle for room service upon arrival. They don't have any type or sort. Tried Rosé...have none by any kind. </p> <p>Tried lunch at the pool....12 rings of calamari fried rock hard and crispy on a bunch of only lettuce. R69.00. Tried to order any sweet wine by glass with lunch. Only a onpened dry Rose bottle left.</p> <p> </p> <p>Ordered dinner for Room Service, rump and malava pudding....after exactly hour and half I phoned back. Oh sorry, they forgot about my order! And apologise. Ordered again...arived at my room half an hour later...what a disaster without pudding. Phoned again to asked what happened with the pudding, oh sorry we don't have. </p> <p> </p> <p>For the amount of money we spent on sleeping over this was the worst visit I ever had. So dissapointed I chose Midrand Samrand to stay over. :-(</p>

I would like to thank Protea Hotel for the way they handled my complaint as well as the Samrand Food and Beverage Manager Tendayi Mhondiwa, they attended immediately and had the most friendly service. I trust it was just a misfortunate situation I was in. Many thanks
