I don't demand things like free cars and other such expected concierge goodies no matter where I vacation (not even when we stayed at places that offered such services). I'm also not a millionaire or celebrity, so I would never expect such things from concierge. Smaller, yet still lovely, things make me happy....like comping a very expensive meal because we casually mentioned in conversation that we tried a place for the first time and didn't like it (after we were specifically asked if we enjoyed our meal there when we returned to the hotel). Never complained, never demanded, expected absolutely nothing....got our money back. That is service.
The night they took the time to take us around the GF grounds for pictures because concierge thought we looked very nice dressed for dinner was another unexpected perk. Hey, who needs to pay the FP photographer? Saved us a little money. They also gave us a beautiful 11x14 frame the next day to frame one of those pictures at home. Again...a wonderful surprise.
I'm not here to say everyone gets this treatment, but this last stay has changed my attitude toward GF concierge. We got MUCH more than our money's worth on this trip, plus others in the past.
Sorry if I can't join in on the deluxe complaint forum here....we've been thrilled with our last 3 trips (2 GF, 1 Poly). :cloud9:
