Staff
Rincón de Gala receives mixed feedback from its guests regarding its staff and services. On the positive side, many reviews highlight the kindness and attentiveness of the staff with Mireia being specifically mentioned for her dedication to making clients feel comfortable. Guests appreciated the prompt and friendly responses, even in situations where lost items were involved. The staff's willingness to help and the efficient communication, often via phone or WhatsApp, were greatly valued by many.
However, a notable absence of physical reception staff is a recurring issue. Some guests felt the lack of a visible staff presence and a physical reception area made their stay feel impersonal and complicated at times. Although the access codes and information were efficiently provided remotely, the invisibility of the staff and the reliance on digital communication didn't sit well with everyone. This led some guests to describe the service as impersonal and the treatment as unpleasant in certain interactions.
In summary, while the friendliness and resourcefulness of the Rincón de Gala staff are commendable, the hotel's approach to a staff-less reception might not suit all guests, leading to a diverse range of experiences.
