点评:We had booked our transfer in advance through Drake Bay Boat Shuttle. The booking process was quick and easy.
Since both the website and our tickets clearly stated a departure time of 3:00 PM, we arranged a private transfer from Quepos to Sierpe for $150. We did this because the local public bus from Quepos would only have arrived in Sierpe at around 3:00 PM, which seemed too risky given the advertised boat departure time.
When we arrived, we were welcomed and told to wait at the restaurant next door. However, the boat did not leave at 3:00 PM as stated. It departed at 4:00 PM instead. In fact, it was simply the regular daily boat service that arrives there every day, meaning tickets could also have been purchased directly on site.
Afterwards, we contacted the organizer via WhatsApp and explained that we had spent an unnecessary $150 on a private transfer because the communicated departure time was incorrect. Had the correct departure time been provided, we could have taken the public bus for around $7 without any issue.
Unfortunately, the organizer showed absolutely no interest in our complaint or in the inconvenience and extra expense we had incurred. I have attached screenshots of the WhatsApp conversation so that others can judge for themselves how little concern was shown.
I would not book through this company again. At the very least, I would have expected a sincere apology. There are plenty of alternative providers available if you want to book in advance for peace of mind, so there is really no need to choose this one.
翻译:我们提前通过Drake Bay Boat Shuttle预订了接送服务。预订过程快捷方便。
由于网站和船票上都明确标明下午3点出发,我们安排了从克波斯(Quepos)到谢尔佩(Sierpe)的私人接送服务,费用为150美元。我们这样做是因为从克波斯出发的当地公共汽车大约也要到下午3点才能到达谢尔佩,考虑到广告上显示的船班出发时间,这似乎风险太大。
到达后,我们受到了热情接待,并被告知在隔壁餐厅等候。然而,船并没有像广告上说的那样在下午3点出发,而是下午4点才出发。事实上,这只是每天定期往返的普通渡轮,也就是说,我们也可以现场购票。
事后,我们通过WhatsApp联系了组织者,解释说由于之前告知的出发时间有误,我们白白花了150美元预订了私人接送服务。如果能提供正确的出发时间,我们完全可以花大约7美元乘坐公共汽车,不会有任何问题。
可惜的是,组织者对我们的投诉以及由此造成的不便和额外费用完全漠不关心。我附上了WhatsApp聊天记录的截图,以便其他人可以自行判断他们有多么冷漠无情。
我以后绝不会再通过这家公司预订。至少,我希望他们能真诚地道歉。如果您想提前预订以确保安心,有很多其他选择,所以真的没必要选择这家。
