After we finished the check-in, they bombarded us with free offers from the resort. We repeatedly asked them if there was any reciprocation to these offers, and will we lose money, but they said no it's completely optional. So we decided to choose the tour offer where we would need to tour the property for two hours and in return they would give us a deposit and they said it's optional. Next morning they called us to schedule the tour and I said we couldn't do the tour because of a time shortage. The receptionist replied in a hurried way that I would lose the 50$ deposit. I was shell-shocked as they never explained to me I would lose anything and they mentioned it was optional. During checkout, I reached out to them and they showed me the asterisk in the offer card that if I failed to do the tour the deposit would be lost.
Most people won't bother to read all the bullet points and the asterisks in the contract when they are just tired and ready to go to the room, so they ask questions like we did to make sure there's no catch. However, they never mentioned the catch.
I just think they could have been more professional. it is unacceptable that they can go that low to get people.
