The trasfer was delayed by 1.5 hours, that was not the main issue for us, it was the lack of communication. They left us waiting, not answering our calls/messages on the hotline and not sending us any notice or explaination. after a long wait we were picked by a driver of another company, who was nice but was also confused since he was expecting a diffrent voucher. Finally after he confirmed with his company he transfered us to the pier and explained the situation to them so they arranged a private long tail boat to transfer us in the night. As I said we wouldn't mind if we were just informed of the delay, so that we could relax and wait instead of worrying in our holiday
