I came to Sense for a facial because I received a gift card (purchased directly from Sense Spa Rosewood) for my birthday. The facial itself was very nice and relaxing but the service that followed was surprising for Rosewood hotel group.
When I was going to pay with the gift card, they informed me that there was no money on the gift card, which was strange since I’ve never used it and there was quite a significant amount on the gift card. I told the staff this and she asked whether “I’m sure”. She suggested that perhaps the person that gifted this to me may have used it, which is awfully rude. I asked if she could find out how I suddenly could have lost all the money on the gift card but she was unable to do anything. Instead I had to personally call a number because apparently the spa and gift card provider are separate entities. The person on the call told me she could see I had money in my account so she doesn’t know what the staff was talking about. It was quite frustrating having to liaise between two members of the same company that for some reason could not directly communicate with each other for an issue that was affecting me, the customer. Eventually after 30 minutes of going back and forth the gift card somehow worked.
Unfortunately, the relaxing facial turned out not to be so relaxing by the end.
