I was extremely disappointed

1.0

I recently stayed at Donna Carmela and, while the property itself was pleasant, I was extremely disappointed with the transfer arrangements organised by the hotel. I was advised that the hotel’s transfer provider offered rates that were cheaper than other available options. Based on that recommendation, I allowed the hotel to arrange my transportation. I was charged €180 for a transfer to Taormina and €500 for an airport transfer to Palermo, which became necessary due to the disruption caused by the Mount Etna eruption . After returning home and researching local transfer prices, I discovered that both amounts appear to be more than double the normal market rate. This was particularly concerning given that the driver informed me that he had been booked by the hotel to collect another client at the same time as I was being dropped off, suggesting that the airport journey was not an exclusive transfer despite the premium price charged. As a guest, I trusted the hotel to act in my best interests when recommending and arranging these services. Instead, I was left feeling significantly overcharged during an already stressful travel situation. I also emailed the hotel afterwards to express my disappointment and request an explanation, but unfortunately I have received no response. The lack of acknowledgment has been as disappointing as the charges themselves. My advice to future guests is to independently compare transfer prices before accepting the hotel’s recommended service.
