Shopaholic Q8eya just posted a review of the Al-Corniche Club Spa. Seems she had a terrible experience starting with an obnoxious receptionist all the way to a smelly therapist. A very fun read. [Link]
update: she got a call-back from upper management [Link]
If you have anything you think would be interesting to share on this blog
[email me]
Stuff I think is worth sharing taken from the b-sides.
If you're looking for something to do.
Shift through my older posts by subject.
Mark and Nat, a married couple who are living in Kuwait. Mark is a creative director at an ad agency while Nat runs her own design studio called Push+Pull.
Here are some links related to this blog.
You just saw it and thought “I wish it was me” so you can write a bad review :P
Now thats a bad experience!
LOL Purg!
its nice for a change to read about somebody elses bad experience. I think she should email them a nice complaint.
heh yeah i figured that club would be really dodgy. it’s just full of the trashy kind kuwaitis.
Dear Spa,
Mark posted about you. Give me a refund NOW!
Regards
Shopa
Purg she SHOULD get a refund back after her experience.
Yah but using the term “Mark” in any sentence or email might get her that, without it, no one will do a thing.
Yup, I know, I saw her thingy posted on the aggregator.
lol holla, kuwaiti must pissed you off that you can’t write one nice thing about them :)
The Grenadine and your point is?
I want a refund! LOL I really do, we still have like 50 kd worth of voucher left! and there is no way, like no way I am going back there!
My friend stopped there this morning and talked to one of the managers, he said that he can’t do anything about it and that we should talk to someone named Alex. I’ve been very busy today but for sure I am giving this Alex a phone call first thing tomorrow morning.
i can say nice things about kuwait, it has like umm good shawerma and like you can smoke anywhere, and uhh gas is cheap and i can afford a brand new phat car. i think that’s it.
Speaking of customer service & quality (and sorry for posting this here), but does anyone have any experience with United Networks. I am shopping for DSL service, and i heard they were quite good.
u can ask in the forum but i am telling u from now everyone will recommend u go with qualitynet
i wanted to join this club…. or at least check it out.
Know what their tour was? They opened the gate, pointed vaguely behind and said “gym’s over there”.
tossers. ‘
excellent concept, poorly executed.
For all you know, it may be complete hogwash!
In a complaint situation such as this there’s no use relying on one side of the story only.
Very true… BUT… I wanted to check out the other side of the story… U know, give them a chance to respond. I sent this email on the 9th. Still no response…
“Hi,
I have been shopping around for a spa for my wife. I happened to come across reviews regarding customer service and quality in your spa that are not very favorable (http://q8eya.blogspot.com/2006/07/al-corniche-club-spa-review.html).
Could you shed some light on this please?”
Hi,
Does anyone know any good healt-clubs that have tennis courts in q8? I know Kuwait isn’t the best place to play tennis (with all the heat and dust), but its temporary training for me in the summer when I’m there.

Thaaaanks.
