点评:As always the pools were excellent. What ruins the atmosphere is that the place is riddled with small kids. While I’m unsure why parents pay full price for their kids to come, the fact remains is that after you’ve paid a significant amount of money to relax in a pool, you are then joined by small children and young adolescents. Today we have had kids running, yelling, blowing bubbles, jumping in the pools and practicing their floating and swimming skills by swimming laps of the small bathing pools. We also had a group of 6 young adolescent boys who were loudly mocking the bathers around them. For the price point, it’s not relaxing.
The menu has changed in the restaurant recently and seems to have improved. There are minimal GF options however. I’m disappointed that there’s flour in the sauces for many of the dishes and there is no dedicated fryer.
On three separate occasions now we have also attempted to book for lunch in the morning, only to be told bookings aren’t required as “it’s not busy today”. We then attempt to sit for lunch only to be asked why we didn’t book. This has happened numerous times now.
They have also sewed shut the pockets on the gowns as they encourage leaving phones in lockers. What Alba management doesn’t understand is that there are other reasons for requiring pockets, in our case, carrying an insulin pump for a type 1 diabetic. This diabetic also needs their phone to check their BGL readings. Alba still has a ways to go in regards to their accessibility for those with disability and medical conditions.
Overall alba is a relaxing place but disallowing children and improving their restaurant would go a long way to improving the overall experience.
翻译:游泳池一如既往地棒极了。破坏氛围的是这里到处都是小孩。虽然我不知道为什么父母要为孩子支付全价,但事实是,在你花了一大笔钱在游泳池里放松之后,小孩和青少年也会加入进来。今天,我们看到孩子们在游泳池里奔跑、大喊、吹泡泡、跳跃,在小游泳池里游泳,练习漂浮和游泳技能。我们还有一群 6 个年轻的男孩,他们大声嘲笑周围的游泳者。就价格而言,这并不令人放松。
餐厅的菜单最近有所改变,似乎有所改善。然而,无麸质食品的选择很少。我很失望,很多菜的酱汁里都有面粉,而且没有专用的油炸锅。
我们已经三次尝试预订早上的午餐,但被告知不需要预订,因为“今天不忙”。然后我们试图坐下来吃午饭,却被问到为什么没有预订。这种情况已经发生过很多次了。
他们还把长袍的口袋缝起来,因为他们鼓励把手机放在储物柜里。Alba 管理层不明白的是,要求口袋还有其他原因,在我们的情况下,是为了携带 1 型糖尿病患者的胰岛素泵。这位糖尿病患者还需要手机来检查他们的血糖读数。在为残疾人和有医疗条件的人提供便利方面,Alba 仍有很长的路要走。
总的来说,Alba 是一个令人放松的地方,但不允许儿童进入并改善他们的餐厅将大大改善整体体验。
