    Status:
    Answered
    I stayed here on a promotional package that was sold to me on a promotional rate with a restaurant credit. When we arrived we were told that was a different promotion and we could use the credit towards a spa service. This was different than what was promised. Our room also had bugs in the bed. When we called them they said there was no way due to using an ozone machine. I asked two separate staff members to have the general manager **** to please call me. Instead *** called me the original person who sold me the promotion and said **** was unable to call. The next day I received a very generic email from **** immediately accused me of having mosquito bites. He told me I could have an upgrade next time we stayed at the property. This company does not value first time guests, customer service, or their word. Extremely disappointed and frustrated in the lack of care. I would like a resolution to this matter and a refund based on the incorrect information on the promotional package and bugs in the room.

    Per their Mission Statement; "Discover the sanctuary Welcome to Sycamore Mineral Springs Resort & Spa in Avila Beach, an alternative to traditional spa-resort experiences with a uniquely profound and peaceful environment to encourage an enhanced sense of well-being, healthy living, and centered inner-self. Get away from it all and embrace the joy of wellness in your life, wellness that starts from within and leads to a better you. Exceptional by nature, crafted for wellness" This was not experienced by my husband and I. In celebration of our 25th Anniversary, I ordered amenities to be staged in our room prior to arrival. They were not there, had to call and wait 1/2 hour (with husband on the porch for surprise factor) for the 2 deliveries it took to accomplish. And I staged the room myself! There was room construction 2 doors down from our room, so during the days there was no "peaceful environment." There was loud music, drills, hammering, saws, and yelling over said music. There were extremely loud guests, that came into the room above us at 10 pm on our last night. My husband could not sleep at all, I was awoken at 1:00 am to screams, as they were still using their hot tub. I did call down to the desk to complain. It somewhat worked, as the occupants then continued until 3:00 am talking loudly, running around, and turning off and on their hot tub jets. As if to retaliate. This was all explained to the manager upon check out and no talk of a discount was offered for our high priced 2 days/3 nights stay of unexpected issues, and lack of the "peaceful environment." And no way did this entity, "lead to a better you." In fact, the candles I used around my bathtub and hot tub (Apple/Cinnamon), created an "eye burning" experience for the cleaners. Thus, creating the room to be "unusable" and "out of commission for the night." We were charged a smoking fee of 250.00 +tax. It was a traumatizing experience that we will not put ourselves through again! Disappointment!!
