Pleasant day ruined by bad food and rude staff

Lovely day the food was terrible, I understand the logistics make it tricky but it was seriously void of any flavour. Also the female staff were quite rude. Apparently I returned my partners life jacket to the incorrect bin, the same one I got it from so didn’t think anything of it. She pushes passed me angrily saying it’s the wrong one grabbed it and presumably placed it where it was supposed to go. Also very obvious when they were talking about customers within earshot. Really not professional and really left me feeling disappointed and told off. I work with people also I know they are really annoying most of the time but it’s expensive day out with a family and one that was tainted by staff not keeping their smiley faces on.

Hi donnaw10, Thank you for taking the time to review your experience with us and provide your feedback. It is disappointing to hear that you had a negative encounter with our crew, and please rest assured that this will be communicated directly with our Senior Management. I hope you were able to enjoy some snorkelling and the glass bottom boat our at the pontoon, as our location at Moore Reef is truly a spectacular reef site! Best wishes and safe travels, Amy Davis, Sales Manager
