will upload some San Miguel video to that tube site when I get back, never thought to do so before .... I have lots of video of Zorro etc

Looking forward to seeing those

Got back last week from a fantastic fortnight at SanMig. Our first time there and me, my 21-month-old son and hubby had a great time. Hope to have time to write a review soon.

Zorro and crew were great - got us all involved. You can see the man himself and my daft hubby on a clip I've posted on the well known video sharing site - the one with tube in the title.

Search under san miguel and zorro and you should find it - it's the Miss San Miguel 2007 one.

Hope to post a couple more clips if I've got time but that's the best one.

saw video on certain site showing floods at San Mig Hotel, anyone there say how bad the damage was?

Wow thats looks pretty bad!! Any idea what floor that was videoed on?? The Hacienda hotel was also badly hit apparently, as well as devastation over the whole island
At least the San Miguel will have to get the decorators in now!!!

it looks like its outside at the Beach club to me, the steps up to the rooms
Watched it again, its not outside!!!!

pm me for that site.i was on island day it happen.107 lts of rain.pictures in local paper next day.looked like a wipe out.mine you pdb was flooded as well.and one guy died in sea.surfer.crazy.worst day i have ever known.flying ash trays chairs ect.sewers flooded ect.

strange still came back with a good tan.good job i went for 16 days.feel sorry for those who only went for aweek.

molliemoo, - looks like it could be on the first floor, but it is too hard to see really.

Must have been some storm. The first year we went to the hotel there were storms and torrential rain at the end of August and the rain came through the windows next to the lifts so the floors were flooded then but there was no river running down the stairs as is shown on the video!!

Just a thought - does anyone know if the apartments were flooded as well as the hotel?

Looking at the video again over the weekend with the wife, we think it is probably the 7th floor, where the rain has come in through reception and flowed down the stairs that go from the 8th down to the 7th. Might be wrong but anyway I'm sure it will all be gone by next year!
With any luck they'll have to get new furniture and paint the place.

Guy has written very scathing report re.flood on Trip advisor, sounded really bad, what the hell, we've booked now, dont suppose this is the 1st time its happened!

Hi

I read the review too. It does seem as though things were a bit chaotic. However the guy said there were no emergency lights, and there is one clearly lit in the video clip. The hotel is closed now for the winter, I'm sure everything will be tip top by opening. And if there were any safety issues or evacuation issues, they will be addressed.
I'm sure it would happen again if there was a storm of that magnitude, as the location of the hotel no matter what they did, would catch all the downpour. I'm there on June 11th next year, and am not overly concerned about it yet.

I also read the review and I imagine that it was a terrible experience for everyone there at the time but I am sure everything will be fine by the start of next season. I would have thought that there would have been more negative reviews if the situation was as bad as stated by that particular reviewer. As far as the comment that the fire brigade were stating that the hotel was unsafe - I am sure that it was at the time if everywhere was under a few inches of water as the floors are all marble and someone could easily have slipped, fallen over and really hurt themselves if loads of people were wading through water to get up stairs to the reception area!
I think this hotel is the same as many abroad and perhaps wouldn't meet our stringent safety standards. We stay in the apartments and sometimes use the external fire escape steps to access the pool areas - we have commented that we wouldn't like to have to negotiate the steps if there was an evacuation from the hotel as they are different widths on different floor levels which could possibly cause people to fall over if there were a lot of people using them at the same time.
Hasn't put us off returning though - we love it at San Miguel!

hi i'm going june 9th next year we can't wait, as for the flood i was in zante about 3 years ago during a storm and the whole island had no power for 24 hours thus no flushing toilets ,horrific lightening ,rivers for roads etc ,it was fun, life is what you make it!!!!!!!!!!!!! and i can't wait until next year yippee

It looks like the beach club.

I was starting to get interested in this hotel until I read the up to date reviews on this site....they're awful!! Can anyone shed any light on this hotel?

i always think at the end of season the reviews arnt always favorable,often due to the weather,it can often cloud ( )the judgement.we have booked a week here and the reviews havent put me off,i have been watching this resort for a few years and the reviews are mostly good to excellent.i think you have to go with no illusions its a 3 star all inclusive and a very good one at that.you can even get ai on the beach which is a big bonus for me as i prefer the beach to the pool(dont do the towels on the sunbed farce).i would rather pay for the beds for the day.compared to many ai in the same price range it seems to offer good value for money with several choices of where to eat.i say if you like the look of it book it.i know someone whos been for 2 weeks this year and they loved everything about it. mo.
