Refused entry by power-tripping guard and threatened with police if I was "caught in reserve"
Reserva Natural Cabezas de San Juan的点评
点评:Threatened with arrest when I tried to lawfully enter the park. I had a super bizarre interaction with the security guard at the gate and despite numerous comments and reviews about people going to the reserve to hike and explore without booking a tour, he was super aggressive about me being on the property...
Didn't realize that you could take a ecological tour here in time to book it - book at least 2 weeks out on their website btw - so I wasn't able to visit the white lighthouse on the reserve. However, I've read a number of other comments saying that they were allowed to go inside the park to hike, walk around, etc.
I drove up to the entrance gate and the guard told me that the White House is closed. I asked if the reserve was open and he said yes, but why did I want to go in? I told him I hoping to enter the property so I could walk around trails and enjoy the scenery.. He kept on asking me why I wanted to go inside and I kept repeating the same thing.
He said that if he lets me in and I park, but I am going to the beaches in the park he would call the cops on me.
I asked, well if I can't come in this way can I just park at Seven Seas Beach and walk through the preserve? He shook his head and again asked why I wanted to go inside.
Very confusing interaction, disappointed an employee would handle it this way. I wasn't rude at all :(
I parked on the streets between the Seven Seas Beach and this nature reserve and watched several people be allowed in through the gate, and several people have to reverse and leave. I then took a look at the Google reviews and have noticed several one-star reviews advising that they were also refused entry by a rude security guard, over the past few months.
Such a huge shame because part of the reason why I decided to stay in this area was to explore this reserve. However, I'm not going to give a place the time of day if they're going to allow their staff to treat people like this.
翻译:当我试图合法进入公园时,却遭到了逮捕威胁。我和门口的保安发生了一件非常奇怪的事情。尽管有很多评论和留言说人们可以不预订行程就去保护区徒步和探索,但他却对我进入保护区这件事表现得异常强硬……
我之前并不知道这里可以参加生态之旅,所以来不及预订——顺便说一句,至少要提前两周在他们的网站上预订——因此我没能参观保护区里的白色灯塔。不过,我看到其他一些评论说他们被允许进入公园徒步、散步等等。
我开车到了入口大门,保安告诉我白色灯塔关闭了。我问保护区是否开放,他说开放,但问我为什么要进去。我告诉他,我希望进入保护区,沿着小径走走,欣赏一下风景。他不停地问我为什么要进去,我也一直重复同样的话。
他说,如果他让我进去,我把车停好,但我想去公园里的海滩,他就要报警。
我问,如果我不能从这里进去,我能不能把车停在七海海滩,然后穿过保护区?他摇了摇头,又问我为什么要进去。
这次互动非常令人费解,我很失望员工会这样处理事情。我一点也不粗鲁 :(
我把车停在七海海滩和这个自然保护区之间的街道上,看到好几个人被放行了,也有好几个人不得不倒车离开。之后我看了看谷歌上的评论,发现过去几个月里,有好几条一星评论都说他们也被态度恶劣的保安拒绝入内。
真是太遗憾了,因为我选择住在这个地区的原因之一就是想探索这个保护区。但是,如果他们允许员工这样对待顾客,我根本不会去这个地方。
