Take the good with the VERY bad. First impressions of this place were the drive up the hill to the reception area. It was leafy and gorgeous, a wonderful part of Noosa. At check-in, things took a turn for the worse. The check-in manager Luiz informed me that daily cleaning was not included in my rate. Point 1: Apart from not being aware of this, I find it ridiculous that anyone would legitimately want cleaning unbundled from their rate and a cynical ploy for the hotel chain to make more money off guests whilst likely not benefitting the hard working cleaning staff. This kicked off our doubts about cleanliness in the hotel immediately. Point 2: When we arrived in our one-bedroom apartment, we discovered the horror of a filthy toilet. Evidence of previous use was apparent…I cannot get more detailed because it was hideous. After reporting this to the front desk (and reaffirming our doubts about resort cleanliness), I received an email from Bruna many hours later in the evening. In this email, it was explained that the stains were rust (I can assure you I know the difference between rust and human faeces) and that she had tried to call me (I had no missed calls at all, so I fully believe she lied to me). She offered a credit of $100, but the blatant lies only exacerbated our displeasure. We carried on with our weekend. Point 3: The area in and around our apartment is horrendously filthy. A stain outside the lift, dragged toward our apartment that we saw as new on Friday was still there on Monday when we left. Tiles in the common area were generally soiled and in need of a power wash. On our private balcony, the tiles were dirty, there was a old broken broom left leaning against the wall and the centre drain had plant life growing from it. Come on, Peppers! That’s simply ridiculous! Point 4: Peppers doesn’t trust you enough to not be a clothes hanger thief. I know plenty of hotels do this, but it’s insulting to have theft-proof hangers. For the rate we paid (without daily cleaning, mind you) the least Peppers can do is trust us! Point 5: Luiz, the gentleman who checked us in on Friday, wrote me to apologise and offer a 15% discount on my next visit. Sorry, I know you’re trying, but it’s just not good enough. Why would I ever want to return to a situation like that and give this resort even more of my money? Thanks, but NO thanks.
