I would take tripadvisor w/ a grain of salt...it is much easier to go to a website like that if you have something to complain about (or just like to complain overall) rather than had a great time. I've visited many places w/ some bad reviews and had an amazing time.

BTW, We went to Aventura Spa Palace all - inclusive for our HM and LOVED it

Re: Upset about tripadvisor.com

the cabo RIU had a few bad reviews on there also

and I loved it- and I think I am pretty hard to please

my good friend went to the one in cancun and loved it (MrsPorkChops sister)

so take every thing on there with a gain of salt- there was not 1 place I could find with all perfect reviews!

Re: Upset about tripadvisor.com

We're staying at Excellence Riviera Cancun in June, and it's in the Maya Riviera.

I believe Conigs went here for her HM.

I would say 98% of the reviews were great, with a few complainers...but I expect no matter where you go.

As for other reviews, why don't you check out the comments on expedia, hotels.com, and orbitz?

Re: Upset about tripadvisor.com

I've realized that I can't take everything seriously that I read on tripadvisor. Everyone has different tastes, and you have no idea who these comments are coming from. From all you know, they could be from owners of competing resorts!

Re: Upset about tripadvisor.com

I always work myself up after reading reviews on tripadvisor. I hate reading bad reviews about places I have my heart set on! However, for every terrible review, there is always a glowing one just a scroll away! I've always found that I've loved the places I've gone, even if it had some negative reviews. I think some people on there are just very picky Chat Icon

I seriously think that other resorts make up fake names and post awful reviews on there. I hate going on that site because it alwasy makes me nuts.

Re: Upset about tripadvisor.com

Read all of the reviews then make your own judgement. We stayed in a condo resort in Daytona Beach (of course the name escapes me) and everyone on tripadvisor complained about waiting 15 mins for an elevator. I had a great time in the elevator, I rode with David Stremme, The Mobil #12 Pit Crew, Scott Riggs, etc.. The longest I waited was 5 mins on the morning of the Daytona 500, I did not mind beacuase the people in the elevator were so friendly and excited!
