点评:Very disappointing experience with the sunbed and umbrella service at Pretty Bay.
We paid for three sunbeds and one umbrella. A few minutes after leaving, my daughter realised she had forgotten her hat, so my husband returned to the exact place where we had been sitting to look for it.
He checked around our previous sunbeds and then tried to open the umbrella because we thought the hat might have been left there.
Immediately, several members of staff confronted him, shouting that the umbrella belonged to them and that he was not allowed to touch it. He explained that we had paid for the sunbeds and umbrella only a short time earlier and that he was simply trying to recover our daughter’s hat.
Instead of helping us, they became increasingly aggressive. We were shouted at, sworn at in Maltese and told to “go back to our country”.
Eventually, we found and recovered the hat, but I cannot understand why such a simple situation had to turn into this kind of confrontation.
To be completely clear, we were not trying to use their equipment without paying. We had already paid for three sunbeds and an umbrella. My husband returned only to look for our child’s forgotten property.
If customers are not allowed to touch an umbrella after leaving, this could have been explained politely. There was absolutely no reason for shouting, swearing or telling tourists to go back to their country.
What made the experience even more uncomfortable was the general atmosphere around this sunbed operation. During our time there, we also witnessed interactions with workers that we personally found unpleasant and disrespectful.
Pretty Bay itself is a beautiful beach and we enjoyed the location. Unfortunately, our experience with this particular sunbed service was completely different.
After paying for their service, we expected basic courtesy. Being shouted at, sworn at and told to “go back to our country” simply because we returned to retrieve our daughter’s forgotten hat was unacceptable.
I would not use this sunbed service again.
翻译:在Pretty Bay使用的日光浴床和遮阳伞服务让人极其失望。
我们付费租用了三张日光浴床和一把遮阳伞。离开几分钟后,女儿发现自己忘了带帽子,于是丈夫便回到我们刚才坐的位置去寻找。
他在我们原先坐过的区域仔细寻找,之后试着打开遮阳伞,因为我们觉得帽子有可能落在那里。
就在此时,几名工作人员立刻围了上来。他们大喊着说那把伞是他们的,不许他碰。他解释道,我们刚刚才付了钱租用日光浴床和伞,而他只是想帮我们找回女儿的帽子。
他们非但没有帮助我们,反而变得越来越具有攻击性。我们被大声呵斥,还遭到用马耳他语骂出的脏话,甚至被赶“滚回自己的国家”。
最后,我们终于找到了那顶帽子并把它拿了回来。但我实在无法理解,为什么这么简单的情况非得演变成这种对峙局面。
直截了当地说,我们并非想不付费就使用他们的设备。我们早已为三张日光浴床和一把遮阳伞付了钱。我丈夫回去只是为了取回孩子落下的东西。
如果顾客离开后就不允许触碰遮阳伞,这一点本可以礼貌地说明清楚。根本没有任何理由要大喊大叫。谩骂游客,或者叫他们滚回自己的国家。
让这次经历更加不愉快的是这家日光浴床服务点周围的氛围。我们在那里的时候,还目睹了工作人员的一些行为,我们个人觉得那些行为既令人不悦又不尊重人。
Pretty Bay本身是个美丽的海滩,我们也很喜欢那个地方。可惜,我们在这家日光浴床服务点的体验却完全相反。
在支付了费用之后,。我们原本只期望得到最基本的礼貌对待。仅仅因为我们回去取女儿忘带的帽子,就遭到呵斥、辱骂,还被要求“滚回自己的国家”,这是完全不可接受的。
我不会再使用这家日光浴服务了。
