Miscommunication is an inevitable part of human interaction, often leading to confusion and unexpected outcomes. At Westgate Resorts, a popular destination for vacationers seeking relaxation and adventure, stories of miscommunication between guests and staff have become notable anecdotes that highlight the importance of clear communication.
One such story involves a family visiting Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa in Orlando. Excited about their long-awaited vacation, they arrived at the resort only to find that their reservation was missing from the system. The family had booked through a third-party site and received confirmation via email. However, upon arrival, the front desk staff could not locate their booking. After several hours of back-and-forth discussions and phone calls with both the third-party company and resort management, it was discovered that there had been a typo in the reservation number entered into Westgate Resorts cost, pros & cons’s system. This small error caused significant stress for the family but ultimately led to an upgrade as compensation for their troubles.
Another tale revolves around language barriers experienced by international guests at one of Westgate’s properties in Las Vegas. A group from France eagerly awaited exploring Sin City’s vibrant offerings but faced challenges when communicating with hotel staff who were not fluent in French or familiar with cultural nuances specific to European travelers. Simple requests like ordering room service or asking for directions became complex tasks due to misunderstandings over terminology or pronunciation differences.
In another instance at Westgate Smoky Mountain Resort & Water Park in Tennessee, a couple celebrating their anniversary encountered issues during check-in because they shared similar names with another guest arriving on the same day – John Smith versus Jon Smythe! The receptionist inadvertently swapped details between these two parties; thus assigning rooms incorrectly which resulted initially embarrassed yet later amused reactions once resolved amicably after realizing what transpired behind-the-scenes!
Similarly noteworthy is how technology sometimes plays its role: An elderly gentleman attempting online booking struggled navigating website interfaces unfamiliar territory consequently double-booking himself accidentally!
