Not PET friendly.....
Reviewed By Z8321BNmichellekDefinitely not PET friendly ,dog yes but that's it. Nothing in their bookings or T&,Cs We booked in for 2 nights and let them know at checking we had a cat. At there discretion he could stay as long as he was kept contained see photos We liked the park and decided to stay a full week only to be told that they have some issues with the cat and we will call you back. The response was... Sorry your site is unavailable for those dates , so we asked for a another site to only be no again and we knew this was incorrect. They then told us we could not extend our stay any longer because of the cat. Dogs only allowed as it is a Flora and Fauna park ? There was no need to lie to us about availability. Not everyone travels with dogs. There are responsible cat owners as well. We were very disappointed especially as it was $177 for a powered site for 2 days. We rebooked up the road and the manager had no problems with our cat.

Horrible Customer Service, Decieving and Dirty Facilities
Reviewed By Ella BI am deeply disappointed and disgusted my the service I received at Montego Mermaid Beach Motel. I chose to stay at the Montego Mermaid Beach Motel because of its recent renovations that are displayed all over its website. I even spared extra money to upgrade to a superior double room with a balcony. When I arrived, my partner and I stood at reception waiting to be greeted for several minutes. We had to call out to be have someone come and see us for check in. The woman looked like she was too busy watching TV to be greeting her guests. This was not a good start for us. When we arrived to our room we were horrified that our room was nothing like it was pictured on the website. We saw photos of wooden floors, comfy new couches, newly painted walls and tidy kitchen spaces. Our room was the complete opposite. It was covered in old, dirty-stained carpet which looked like it hadn’t been cleaned. There was old furniture, no decoration to the point it felt very dark and depressing and my allergies were playing up from dust-mites after 15 minutes of arrival. I specifically requested to have wooden floors in my comments when booking and this was not honoured. I was deeply upset and had to leave the motel immediately. I tried to call reception and the lady on the phone was argumentative and unwillingly to help. I requested to move rooms and was refused and spoken down to like a child. She was not interested in helping me or did not care about the quality of my stay. I told her I had horrible allergies to the room and could not stay there. Due to my requests being ignored and be feeling so uncomfortable about staying there, I asked to be refunded and to check out to which she refused a refund. I was in tears after our conversation and have never felt so disrespected due to such a poor level of customer service. I was so upset I decided to book another hotel to stay at the night as my whole weekend felt ruined. My partner and I were looking forward to this week to celebrate our five-year anniversary. I ended up having to pay another $250 at another hotel where I received excellent value for my money. To top off such a horrible experience already, I immediately checked out after I booked a new hotel, and half an hour later, my exact room was advertised on booking.com again with vacancy for the same night. It was booked within the hour. Not only was I refused a refund, the motel kept my money and received quite the profit in having someone else pay again. They wouldn’t of even had time to clean the room. I would like to be contacted from both the motel management and booking.com about this disgusting and disappointing visit. I will be spreading my review on all possible platforms until I receive appropriate compensation and a refund for this experience.

No privacy and rude manager
Reviewed By Yuzu2153Constant surveillance when you walk out of your door. We (my 1 y.o. child and I) touched a bird statue just outside reception and straight out the manager came out and yelled at us very spitefully, ‘don’t touch anything! Respect our property!’. It made us feel sooo bad. It was a terrible experience for us. The room also smelt of strong disinfectant which made us feel sick. The bed blanket was synthetic material and hot.
