In reading some recent reviews on a travel website, I have come to the following conclusion. Trip reviews are just that, one persons perception of a resort or a destination. Always do your own research and ask a lot of questions.
It is very interesting to see how people see things differently. Remember that game called "telephone" you played as a child?
The hotel's website states the resort has two swimming pools.
A reviewer states the pool has three swimming pools.
Last time I checked, the resort did indeed have only two swimming pools.
One reviewer states the Radisson's Plaza Club is on the EIGHTH floor.
One reviewer states the Radisson's Plaza Club is on the SIXTH floor.
In my mind this is all another argument for using a good travel agent. They should know the product they are selling. If they do not, at least if you have problems, there is someone to be held accountable. In the case of online reviews it is only one persons opinion and not necessarily facts.
