Beautiful & Relaxing, but Don't Expect Much from the Staff
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 4/10/08
I have visited Mirbeau on three occasions. I return for the tranquility of the grounds and spa, the beautiful gardens, and to enjoy some personal time in an environment not far from home but feels as though you are in a different world. The spa treatments are definitely worth the higher price--you get what you pay for with the extra beautiful surroundings and attention to your comfort. I learned early on never to expect much from the staff outside of the spa area. On all three visits the staff (with the exception of one waiter on one visit) was aloof, indifferent, or looked as though any question was a huge bother to them. The staff behaves as though they are doing a huge favor by even letting you on the property. I have booked another stay to enjoy the spa and enjoy a peaceful break, but know not to expect anything from the staff. I recommend taking advantage of mid-week specials and the off-season, as they are very overpriced on weekends and during holidays and the service is absolutely no different.
