点评:We spent the day at Portopiccolo Beach Club at the Main Pool to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday, and up until one incident, it was everything we hoped for. The loungers (€150) were excellent, right by a stunning sea view, and we spent another €70 on food and drinks, which was good. Staff were attentive throughout the day and repeatedly checked in on us. It wasn’t crowded, which made it feel even more special.
Then the Main Pool lifeguard walked over and asked me, in English, if I was trying to “signal” him something — apparently because I had looked in his direction. I genuinely didn’t understand what he meant and thought he might be asking if I felt unwell or needed something. I simply answered no, and tried to figure out what he means and he walked back.
My girlfriend, still smiling, Welt to him and asked him directly to clarify what he meant. He simply repeated that I had looked toward him and seemed to be signaling something — no smile, no explanation, no attempt to de-escalate or clear up the misunderstanding. It felt like he took offense at being looked at and wanted to make that known, rather than simply asking a normal, friendly question if he genuinely had one.
It was a completely unnecessary and uncomfortable moment that left a bad taste on what was supposed to be a carefree birthday celebration. A lifeguard confronting a paying guest, with zero courtesy or explanation, is simply not acceptable — especially at a venue charging premium prices.
Everything else about Portopiccolo was excellent. But this interaction cast a real shadow over what should have been a perfect day, and I hope management addresses it with their staff.
翻译:我们一整天都待在Portopiccolo海滩俱乐部的主泳池区,庆祝我女友的生日。在发生那件事之前,一切都如我们所期望的那样美好。那里的躺椅(150欧元)非常不错,就设在可以欣赏到绝美海景的位置;我们还花了70欧元购买食物和饮料,体验也很不错。全天都有工作人员悉心照料,不断来询问我们的需求。当时泳池区并不拥挤,这让整个体验显得更加特别。
后来,主泳池区的救生员走过来,用英语问我。如果我试图向他“示意”什么的话——显然是因为我朝他的方向看了过去。我真的没明白他的意思,还以为他是在问我是否身体不适或需要什么帮助。我只是回答说“不用”,同时试图弄明白他的意图,之后他就走回去了。
我的女朋友依然面带微笑,转头对他说,直接请他解释一下到底是什么意思。他只是重复说我朝他看了过去,似乎在示意什么——面无笑容,也没有任何解释。完全没有试图缓和气氛或消除误会。感觉他是因为被注视而生气,想以此来表达不满,而不是真的出于善意来问个普通又友好的问题。
这一刻完全没有必要,也让人很不自在,毁了原本应该轻松愉快的生日庆祝。一名救生员毫无礼貌、也不作任何解释地去质问付了钱的顾客。这是绝对不可接受的——尤其是在一个收取高价的场所。
Portopiccolo的其他各方面都无可挑剔。但这次经历给本应完美的一天蒙上了阴影,我希望管理层能就此问题与员工进行沟通并加以改进。
