Secret Resorts in Germany - A Checklist to Find Them - Part 2 of
4
In the first part I went into details of the environment of
Secret Resorts. I told you how it should be in terms of building
deep relaxing and precious moments.
In this second part you will go to find out why it is important
to look at the age and condition of your prospective Wellness
Hotel.
Step 2 -- Age and condition of Secret Resorts
Often in pictures it is difficult to recognize how the condition
of the Secret Resorts is. Like I already mentioned, in the high
polish brochures you see the most beautiful pictures. The Hotel
shows up from its most beautiful side. Often they do not show
the reality which you find locally. Sometimes the pictures are
so old that they hush up the current condition of the hotel.
It is absolutely disappointing when you arrive expectantly at
the Secret Resorts of your choice and discover how filthy and
old the equipments are. In a smeared bath tub it does not relax
so well as in a new, shining bath tub, right?
Okay. And how do you find out now whether the Secret Resorts
corresponds to your high expectations?
- Find out when the Secret Resorts was reconditioned the
last time
In any case it should have been reconditioned within the last
ten, better six years.
If it were reconditioned for example in the year 1984, you
surely won't just find old bath tubs, but in vain you are
looking for a Wellness Paradise (what I mean by Wellness
Paradise? More on this later).
On the other hand if the Secret Resorts was reconditioned
however in the last five years, the probability is huge that you
find everything you need for a relaxing and restful stay.
Why? Look, if it were reconditioned five years ago, the owner of
the hotel will have made sure that he let insert the most modern
devices and bath tubs. Five years ago there were very efficient
and effective Wellness devices (e.g. Sauna, Whirlpools, etc.).
The owner of the Secret Resorts who reconditioned recently wants
to guarantee that they spoil their guests. They invest into
their business and future.
I do not want to claim that all owners of Secret Resorts who
reconditioned 20 years ago are not ready to invest into their
future. Some of them just have no money for it. And why do they
not have the money? Because they have too few guests thus too
little sales. And why do they have too little guest/sales?
One reason: their devices are too old.
You see, it is a vicious circle. Not every owner of a Secret
Resorts is at the same time also an entrepreneur. Some just did
not learn how to deal with the needs of their guests. That is
it, what I meant above with 'service desert' ; -)
So make sure that the Secret Resorts of your desire were
reconditioned recently. Your stay will run multiple more
fascinating.
Anyway, this was the second part of my checklist to find the
Secret Resorts in Germany. In the next two parts I will go in
details to the wellness sector and the hotel classifications.
Enjoy your trip!
