Us adding more sandbags to neutralize the impact of the strong current of water to the resort's concrete walkway. |
While my team and I were running all over preparing for the
impact of the typhoon, our Vietnamese guests tried swimming in the beach. Funny how people think sometimes, they knew
the current was strong and they still don’t care. They don’t have idea how worried we were for
them. The security had to chase them
away from the beach.
Our Vietnamese guests whom if not being watched will sneak in to the beach and swim. |
Just to let them enjoy their holiday without causing us
problem, we cordoned them around the swimming pool area. And we had to have security on standby because if you don’t watch them they will run to the beach
and swim, like a herd of kids.
Put it this way, if our
western guests were hiding in the room, our Vietnamese guests were everywhere,
letting us chase them away from danger. They don’t care how strong the current
was or how the wind can swept them away to the ocean.
That's how strong the current was. |
At night, while it was raining they just put on a raincoat
and hang around the swimming pool for the party. They
just ignored typhoon Doksuri. Some of
our western guests commented they can’t believe how tough the Vietnamese face the situation that No typhoon, rain or wind can stop their activities.
And because they are inhouse guests we cannot do anything
but ignored typhoon Doksuri too. We have to watch them while taking care of the property. It was a long day
for us working in the hotel. I feel sorry for my team but it’s our duty to
ensure safety of our guests.
Our guests don't have a clue how happy they made us when they already went to their room.
For
hotelier like us, it’s an achievement to be able to put the guest safely in their room
in rough time like this.
