点评:I booked a tour with Sea Lounge Catamaran, run by Randall Duran in Jacó, Costa Rica. From the start, I asked very specific questions about the departure time, since my schedule was tight. Randall assured me multiple times that the tour would leave promptly at 8:10 AM, if not earlier. I even asked whether this was on “Tico Time” (i.e., casual delays), and he got visibly irritated but firmly insisted they were punctual.
I showed up at 8:00 AM, completed the paperwork, and waited. No staff. No boat. By 8:30, I asked the receptionist where they were, and she said she spoke to Randall and that I could get a refund if I didn’t want to wait. So I took the refund and left.
This entire experience felt like a bait-and-switch. If they can’t be honest about something as simple as a departure time, how can you trust them with food safety, boat maintenance, or even your safety on the water? It felt more like a hustle than a tour operation. Very disappointing. I wouldn’t recommend this company to anyone.
翻译:我预订了哥斯达黎加雅科的Sea Lounge Catamaran双体船之旅,这家公司由Randall Duran经营。由于行程紧凑,我从一开始就问了非常具体的出发时间。Randall多次向我保证,行程会在早上8:10准时出发,甚至更早。我甚至问他这是否是“Tico时间”(即偶尔延误),他明显有些不耐烦,但仍然坚持说他们准时。
我早上8点到,办好手续,然后就等着。没有工作人员,也没有船。8:30,我问接待员他们在哪里,她说她已经和Randall谈过了,如果我不想等,可以退款。于是我就退款离开了。
整个经历感觉就像一场诱饵和转换。如果连出发时间这种简单的问题都无法诚实回答,你又怎么能相信他们能保证食品安全、船只维护,甚至你的水上安全呢?感觉更像是在兜售,而不是在经营旅游。非常令人失望。我不会向任何人推荐这家公司。
