There are no lifeguards on duty, we were allowed to go out on the kayak during a storm and there was no due diligence done on their part to come look for us. Their response was simple the fact that we had signed a waiver, when according to regulations they needed at least two lifeguards on duty, but they didn’t even have one. They had a security personnel who was also in charge of keeping the area clean. We almost lost our lives here, and if not for the breaks in the storm, and the life jacket, we wouldn’t have survived our ordeal. A vacation turned into a nightmare, a pivotal point in our lives, to not trust resorts with our own safety. We were left to fight the storm and struggle ourselves to float and survive and make it back to shore. Our 40 minute struggle with the storm may not seem like a big deal, but given that there was a typhoon warning, you can make your own calculations.
Regardless the sheer negligence of the resort, and their response when we got back was to ask where is the other kayak? That’s just ridiculous. They claimed that we had signed a waiver and that will protect them from any law suit. The waiver is a generic waiver for injury:property loss and not against a storm that we were let to go out in. We made a police report and were asked to settle for a nights dinner and no charge for property loss as we were asked to stay in Con Dao for months to actually process a charge against them. Don’t book this is place if you’re looking to go out to the sea.
