Surreal Hospitality

I read the most interesting advertisement in a magazine today. It was a caravan park that claimed to offer "surreal hospitality".

I'm not sure exactly what "surreal hospitality" involves.

Do they greet you with a haiku comparing the weather to an Autumn toad? Do they serve flowers in a skull for breakfast, presented on a dish made from ironed-out cuckoo clocks? Do they leave a bowl of whipped cream and a curling iron under your pillow when they make your bed?

I wonder if they are aware that "surreal" is not a synonym for "good"?
