Dependably yummy!. December 2018: Took 2 out-of-town girlfriends. Very tasty lemony chicken breast with capers, rice, grilled asparagus (nightly special) and HGF burger with fries. Creme brûlée delicious. Not too noisy. Late October 2018: Took 7 out-of-town childhood girlfriends. Ultimately it turned out fine BUT a near fiasco at first: our reservation was lost (even though we’d called twice); we ended up after a 30 minute wait asking to seat us anywhere; we ended up as a table of 4 up front and a table of 3 in the very back. Fortunately, everyone liked what they’d ordered: lasagna, a shrimp and pasta dish, chicken, bison burger. Sorry can’t recall more specifically, but basically from the menu. The waitress gave each table a dessert gratis and we loved the creme brûlée! Early October 2018: my companion and I loved our late dinner at the bar! Bison burger for me was tasty, not greasy, nicely topped with cheese and lettuce and tomato. Companion’s chicken sandwich was goodly sized, nicely fried and well seasoned. He really liked the fries too. Wonderful bartender- can’t recall his name, darn it! Lucky to have this in lil ole Weaverville.

Unbelievably Disappointed. Paid A LOT of money for my extended family of 7 to enjoy Ruth’s country dinner. When we arrived there was NOWHERE for us to sit. There were 2 seats we were able to find (@ different tables) and nothing else. The man who was to be singing/performing offered to disassemble a display table (card table) and gather some random chairs to accommodate some of my family which was super nice, but I felt like there should have been enough proper seating options for us. The girl setting things up was also so apologetic and tried to help best she could while my teenagers stood holding their plates and ate standing up. I went strait to the front desk where I was told I might find Julie (who I was told was in charge of these dinner reservations). The girls there gave me Julie’s business card with a cell phone and other contact info. I texted her and got an auto response letting me know that they had received my message and would be in touch. That was 3 days ago and still no contact from Julie or anybody for that matter… when I arrived back at the venue, someone had set up a table for my family in the blistering sun (to leave space for entertainment in the little left shade) with enough chairs and a proper table cover. I went to serve myself and there was maybe about a four of a cup of corn left and NO dessert left except watermelon. Just over all a huge disappointment and for the money I paid, just completely unacceptable.

Eagle Aruba Resort. This is our third year in a row staying here. It is quieter and less busy then high rise area, which we prefer. Rooms have full kitchens and hotel is across the street from Super Foods grocery. Nice to be able eat a light breakfast or leftovers for lunch! Pools are really nice - one is more for kids with shaded splash area and water slide. Middle pool has built in lounge chairs and is the place to be for happy hour. Other pool is more adult and has a cool waterfall. We actually use the more kid oriented pool and enjoy it. Don’t have to fight for lounge chairs here. Hotel is a block from the beach and they have their own area and will golf cart you over if you like. Hotel is smaller than a lot and easy to get around (flat!) if walking is an issue. All the staff are great, Pablo and Travis are super friendly out front to help with luggage, getting taxis and driving the golf cart! Be sure to pop over to La Cabana next door for the amazing dessert place that has cheesecake and other delights. La Cabana also has a casino.

Now Sapphire. Where should I begin ? Our second attempt for my daughters (#DrumSobodos) wedding was still filled with anxiety of traveling with 70 people during a pandemic. All of the staff of Now Sapphire put us at ease from the moment we arrived,until the day we left . It was well organized, with special precautions that made it easy for breakfast , lunch & Dinner . The staff was exceptional ! Everyone took great care of our wedding guests. The welcome Party was above and beyond what we expected . Denise the wedding planner did an Amazing job ! The wedding was absolutely spectacular. We could not have asked for a more perfect night ! Kudos to all the waiters , bartenders , room service , entertainment staff . And always those seaweed removing guys who were up before dawn ! Eduardo ( breakfast ) was the highlight of our morning . But there were many who also went above & beyond, Israel , Poncho , Manuel , Jaime , Christall , Ricardo ( lemongrass) Fredrico , Giovanni , Jose ( reef ) Pedro (Hibachi) Julian , Ismail & Eduardo ( wine Cellar ) . We have traveled to many places , but nobody can compare to the staff at the Now Sapphire. Thank-you !

This is the best place to find ratings and details about hotels, restaurants, etc.. I evaluate most of the hotels, restaurants, and local sights on TripAdvisor. I only rarely have to give bad ratings since I have checked in advance on TripAdvisor. By reading many reviews you can quickly get a good idea of each rated place. Note that some reviewers are always negative - either they are never satisfied or they are so grumpy that they have brought out the worst in everyone they meet. When hundreds of visitors have given a place “excellent” or “very good” ratings, usually the few bad ratings are due to such trolls. I usually do read several negative ratings - bad days do occur and there are flaws in everything and it can help you to notice those flaws - but if most people liked it, I will probably like it too. I have used “Yelp” at times for restaurant reviews (sometimes searching sends me to Yelp). It is ok, but I have not usually found it more convenient. I am less familiar with it - and I have never posted a rating there. If I have to sign in each time, this is the last time you will hear from me.

Viking Cruise Venice to Athens. What a remarkable 10 days. It was our first Viking Cruise and it was wonderful. The team that puts together the off ship tours is truly 5 star. The advertising on PBS is spot on. You really do have magical moments with the people of the country you are visiting. It is special and intimate. We had an operatic performance in a villa in Venice. The owner welcomed us to his family home of 700 years and served Prosecco from his vineyards. The performance of famous arias and duets was worthy of The Met. Bravo Don’t miss a day of touring they were all equally spectacular. Food off the ship is much better than on. The Italian Resturant was good. The Chefs table,poor. How many ways can you steam cod? How many courses can you embellish with “espoma “? I guess the answer is unlimited. Our Jr Suite was very spacious and the perk we especially used was free laundry and dry cleaning. The free mini bar was so so as it had lower quality liquor offerings. The crew was fabulous. Very kind and attentive. We look forward to our next Viking Cruise as the tours run seemlessly and are high quality.

Could be Better. Several flaws that should be fixed for smartphones and some for pcs. Major flaw is adding quick bites to eating establishments. There are no rules on this and restaurants are changed to quick-bites because of someone’s answer etc. By doing this, they are no longer listed as restaurants. Major problem is if you are looking for a great place to eat, TA searches restaurants by default!!! Guess what? The favorite eating place you are looking for doesn’t show up because it is quick-bites. The only way around this is going through several filtering screens and click restaurants and quik-bites when doing a search. I didn’t find this for 6 months and always missed great restaurants. These restaurants missed had order at the counter, bring out your food and refill drinks sometimes but were called qb. I even ran across places that took your order at the table but were labeled qb. TA please fix this and have an easy to find suggestions area to alert you to these problems and many more with feedback given to reporters.

Great App. I’m enjoying planning our families summer day trips and weekend trips using this app. For longer trips, I appreciate the feature that allows me to place certain attractions on different days of my trip. I would suggest however, being able to view only the events and attractions listed under a certain day. For example, I plan a 5 day trip to Washington DC that includes a total of 49 (!) attractions that I have divided as I wish to see them amongst the five day stay. It would be great if I could click on day two for instance, and only see the attractions and events that I planned for that day so that it would be easier to see where the locations are on the map and it would be more efficient to rearrange my itinerary according to attractions and events that are close to one another. Thank you for adding the “add note” section for each attraction, as I use to write in hours of operation and cost of events so I can see it at a glance.

Used to be great, now almost useless. Trip Advisor used to be awesome for exploring for things to do in an area we were visiting as a family. I found so many great attractions, outdoor sightseeing locations, tours, etc over our years of travel. Searching in the map view and browsing lists was easy and productive on an iPad, actually much better than their website. I was shocked to find that the interface has now been redesigned in a way that makes the app terrible for finding what I need. I’m literally at a loss as to how I’m going to search for things to do on our upcoming vacation because I’m having so much trouble finding the information I want. Note to developers, using blocks to display info is horrible UX design when trying to browse long lists. It seems that the app has been redesigned not with the user in mind, but for some other goal, maybe highlighting those things that will bring in more $$ for Trip Advisor. Weirdly, the App Store ratings are also worthless for this app because almost none of the recent good ratings are about the app. Instead it is a bunch of ratings of businesses people presumably found via Trip Advisor. The ratings of the app itself appear to be substantially lower. Is Trip Advisor doing something to encourage this user behavior in order to obscure their poor ratings? Very sad if true.

Well cared for horses, beautiful area, attentive guides. All the animals on the ranch are rescued animals including the horses we rode. They are clearly well cared for and the horse vet (“Dr Horse”) even rode with us. Emphasis was placed on treating the horses well and making their job easier. Loved that! There were approximately one guide for two guests. We were guided thru the walk to the ranch and around the Mayan jungle on the horses with interesting stores and facts. Our guide, Paula, was energetic, fun, easy to hear and understand. The cenote was refreshing and private so just 6 of us from the tour were swimming. They did not rush us and even though the tour says 2 hours, we were there for 3 hours. We even heard about and tasted Mayan chewing gum made from the sap of local trees. I highly recommend this adventure. They offer professional photos for $40 and the chewing gum ($5) but no pressure to buy them and they allowed us to have our phones and take photos along the way.

Love The App Except . . .. One of the best Travel Apps available, with access to helpful reviews to help make better destination decisions. And because reasonable reviews help us make travel decisions, we also like to post solid reviews that might assist others. The one real difficulty with the Trip Advisor App is posting photos to reviews, even one’s own reviews. It seems that even when following Trip Advisor’s own HOW-TO directions, it is difficult to successfully add photos. Either the app wants access to all (thousands) of the photos on our devices, or using the “Profile/Intro/Upload The Photo/Add a Location Tag” method allows the app to see only the few photos in the “Camera Roll” and “My Photo Stream” folders, but will not allow access any of the specific “Albums” on our phone or tablet where individual trip photos are stored. If it wasn’t for the photo posting obstacle, the app would get 5 stars. It would be great if a simpler and more straightforward method was available for adding photos. Thanks very much.

WHY keep changing things????. I knew it was a mistake to click on “update” without waiting a few days to read the reviews - which I was sure would be terrible - because they just keep on changing things and making it worse for NO REASON!! I can’t understand why they think ANY of the recent changes are improvements - they moved things around AGAIN so it’s unfamiliar! Nothing on the home page is relevant. Can’t even FIND MY OWN reviews now! Why is everything so HUGE? They’re wasting space & making me scroll way too much… This is the FIFTH time I’ve updated this review in 30 minutes - every time I try to do something I keep finding more horrendous changes. Are they honestly going to make me click on “read more” for EVERY single review? OMG!!! Now instead of just having 2 search lines so I can type in the name of what I want to see and the location directly below it, it I have to click on something else to get the location box to show up so I can type it - an UNNECESSARY EXTRA step! Then, there are multiple restaurants with the same name in this city, and you don’t show me the address anymore, they all just say the city, so I have NO IDEA which one is correct!! They have absolutely destroyed what used to be a helpful trip planning app & it’s just awful now. I’ve never used yelp but it’s time to consider it... Did the people who created this ridiculous redesign ever try to actually use the app before they released this crap to the general public?

TripAdvisor is both good start AND ending!. I have long used TripAdvisor as one of my starting points when planning, or even just thinking about travelling. The information is almost always timely, especially when there is current information from contributors. Unfortunately, as I am a “Digital Dinosaur”, it has been a challenge for me to upload specific/designated information and some long-labored-over documents have yet to be accepted/published. This is very frustrating to me, especially when my information is very current & relevant. Also, I dislike not always getting instantaneously published, unlike some other competing websites. Oftentimes, once I’ve completed my odyssey, I need clarification of particular details, which I can find at their site. I both use and contribute to TripAdvisor. I highly recommend it, and it certainly gets my “Wheel of Approval!” FULL DISCLOSURE: I also own a bit of stock in this fine company,

Love the app, however.... I have used the Trip Advisor app for years and found it to be very helpful. However, in this era of stored data abuses, I find it annoying that I can not erase my recent search history. Some will argue why this is an issue so I will share an issue that a co-worker had with the Trip Advisor app. My co-worker was planning on surprising his wife with a romantic mid-week trip at an oceanfront resort 40 miles from his home. He used Trip Advisor to find the best accommodations available. He has the Trip Advisor app on both his iPhone and iPad. After determining that this type of trip wasn’t in his budget, he decided to wait and save a little bit of money each week. Well, sometime later, his wife was using the iPad and Trip Advisor to research a restaurant in the area for a family dinner. While she was in the app, she noticed his history. She was also noticing that he was taking money from their savings account (money he was saving for their romantic weekend.) Anyhow, my co-workers wife’s man hating sister had her convinced that he was having an affair. No need to keep going on this story as I am sure you all get it. Once Trip Advisor allows search history to be deleted, I will amend my 2 star rating.

Love this app but use improvements. I use this app almost every time we go to a new city to find what food is good and where to eat. That being said there are some improvements I would like to see. 1. For vegetarians and vegans the app can be a little difficult to navigate. One change I would like to see is in phrasing and searching filters. There is a difference between vegetarian/ vegan restaraunts and a restaurant having vegan/vegetarian options. The app currently does not show the difference which can be vexing. 2. Another change I would like to see is in the search. Often times i go on here to find food between point a and point b but currently there is not a way to search along that route or slightly off from it. Yes you can go through each address and see but for tourists this can be difficult and additional time to your task. It’s a good time to mention that even if these changes don’t occur I will keep using the app but it would be nice to see a change to help support those of us with different diets. And not just non-meat eaters but, gluten free eaters, paleo people or even those that have a lot of allergies to food such as nuts, milk, eggs and more.

1 Stars for intrusive practice. Honestly it hard to rate something that is not optional. I wanted to stay on their website but the website keeps spamming you with to continue please download the app or create a account. It’s not a recommendation it’s forced down your mouth. With that being said apon downloading the app, if you think you do not get to create a account now that have downloaded the app think again! More deceptive practices. You still have to give a email creat user an experience that takes 4 minutes out of your time an ultimately should be optional. I don’t want more companies with my email filling up my promotional tab. Over all a 1 star and experience from the start. Trip advisor sets the mood right away with deceptive business practices. They do not stand out outside of other websites for providing additional or unique options or the hidden gems you get to know via word of mouth. Generally I never give a 1 star review however in this situation I believe it is warranted and just until they give you a skip option in the app for account creation, or change the deceptive wording on their website that collectively is false marketing.

Delicious food & vibe at Cerveceria Puerta de la Carne!!!. Our first night in Seville we arrived late on a Friday night and stumbled onto this vibrant, extremely busy delicious smelling bar restaurant around the corner from where we were staying! Little did we know how absolutely DELICIOUS this neighborhood FIND really was!!!!! We ordered tapas dishes that blew us away in taste!!!! This is a bar that will blow your socks off as you indulge the culinary senses with delicious meats and incredible sauces too!! The various potatoes they offered were some of the best potatoes we’ve ever eaten! They melted in our mouths! So did the various styles of whiskey cooked beef & chicken! The sweet cheek pork was mouth watering too! Loved our waiters and owner! Down to earth hard working fun people!!! Ton’s of regulars as we noticed when we went back a second time ! Yes we ate here twice during our 4 night stay in Seville’s Santa Cruz area because we were craving the food from this restaurant!!!! Thank you for two delicious late night tapas dinners! We hate to leave your beautiful Seville but we will be back hopefully next year to eat more at Cerveceria Puerta De La Carne!! Muchas gracious!!! Hope, Tom & Sam!

Really helps RVers, more & more as people utilize. In travel, this app is priceless! Particularly traveling to a new destination, helps tremendously with restaurant info. and directions! Ditto for events, attractions. Much better than Around Me, which we hardly use anymore. Even at home, we use it when the inevitable question “where should we go eat?” arises. Especially when wanting something other than our usual go-tos. Breakfast lunch or dinner, or even Happy Hr. it sure helps. Can really tell a difference in the App since we retired 3 years ago and began more extended RV trips - more RV parks and public campgrounds being listed and reviewed, all the time. Pictures help soo much as well as specific site info., amenities, when trying to find a place to camp. And Especially when looking for a place to eat, sightsee or shop for fresh seafood/meats in a new place, we find TA invaluable. The more people use and review, the better it gets. And the app updates have made it better. Keep up the good work, TA!

Lothian motorcoach trip from Edinburgh. My friend and I took a day tour with Lothian motorcoaches out of Edinburgh on 27Sept2019. Our driver was Ian and guide was Scott. Being the handsome lad he is, Scott really should have been in a kilt! Our day trip was to Loch Lomond, The Trossachs and Doune Castle. Now, being the Outlander fan that I am, when I found out this Castle was used as Castle Leoch in the Outlander,I was definitely all in. Thus trip did not disappoint. Scott really should be a stand up comedian. The “history lesson” was delivered in such a way that it was never boring! He had us all in stitches!! I would definitely recommend this trip and make sure to get Scott, if possible. Now, the “icing on the cake”for me was when Scott chased me four blocks after I got off the bus to return my purse that I had left on the seat!! Lord... what a life saver this man was! I will say, the ONLY thing that could have made this trip better, was for Scott to be in a kilt!! I mean, it IS Scotland after all. Pamela D. Florida. USA

It’s a very useful app but has some flaws. I can’t leave home without it as it helps bring the world to me. Reviews and recommendations are typically spot on. However, it can be a bit clumsy when it comes to searching. I put in day trips/tours in Dar es Salaam and I keep getting safari results for 3-15 days. Not sure what part of “day” the app does not understand. Also, I booked a trip that has not existed for about a year and was none refundable. When I tried to cancel on the app, it warned me that I would lose 100% of the cost. I reached out to the tour operator via WhatsApp and fortunately, they were gracious enough to inform me that they no longer do that tour and will fully refund. TripAdvisor needs to stay on top of operational tours. Finally, whenever I book a tour through TripAdvisor, things generally go smoothly except for when they don’t. The reply button to the tour operator contained within the confirmation email seldom works. All in all, I enjoy using this app as my go to travel companion. I don’t even need to research ahead of time (I know, lazy right? ;) and the idea that I can travel on the fly and have TripAdvisor app do all the legwork is ever so appealing. It would have been 5 star but for all the issues listed above!

Trip Advisor App. I love the Trip Advisor App. It is easy to use and has a wealth of information. You can find information on hotels all over the world, destinations for travel and activities once you get there amongst so much more. There are recent reviews on the modes of transportation, restaurants and attractions. Therefore, you will read useful information and opinions. Just go to the App Store and download the app. Who knows? You may even become a reviewer of the places you've been, the sights you saw, the meals you ate at the many restaurants, or you can introduce new places or tours not listed, and Trip Advisor will research and verify there is such a place, notify you, and then you can write a review. How cool is that?! You can introduce not only the readers on the site to the new place but also you have introduced Trip Advisor to it! Use the app conveniently to find your travel needs easily or to just find a nice restaurant for lunch or dinner, then read reviews on it. Enjoy!

Where do we begin ?. To say our tour was an amazing and adventurous day would be very accurate BUT it was the attention to detail provided by our guides (DK and Ismael) that makes this tour stand out ! From the minute we were picked up at hotel until we were dropped off it was nonstop enjoyment. The level of detail and historical facts provided by both guides made the journey so very interesting. Upon arriving at site each step we took was met with excellent guidance and utmost concern for our safety. The waterfalls were breathtaking and most enjoyable along with our “spa” mud bath. So rejuvenating 😊 !! Guides offered to take pictures of us enjoying ourselves and relaxing without us ever having to ask (DID I MENTION SO MEMORABLE). Our lunch was delicious and oh so surreal … to indulge in a Costa Rican lunch along side the majestic waterfall took one day to make as a memory but it will last a lifetime. The drive back, the conversation, and experience is something my husband and I HIGHLY recommend. Paddle 9 and our gracious guides made the day simply terrific …. PURA VIDA ✝️

Lost confidence. My wife and I always check out the reviews for hotels and restaurants and have had great results. The reviews reflect accurately what our experiences have been. We have to weed out some of the negative reviews, some people just have to vent when the world just doesn’t go their way. But now TA is rating with their “Best Value”. My wife and I travel to many of the same cities for work and have learned where to stay and not to stay. Their Best Value is completely false and we must say a completely fake rating for us the consumer. We can’t begin to understand any logic in these ratings. There is no cost association and for sure there is no quality association. We are guessing that TA has sold out to who will pay the most. In the end we have lost confidence in anything they say now and feel we must check other sites to be sure of all our future choices for hotels and restaurants. Such a shame, it was such a good site, you can still switch to consumer ratings....but have they sold out to the highest bidder there, if they are ok making a fake Best Value are they ok with making or modifying reviews to the highest bidder and they become fake.

DC Bus tour. The tour was in a nice modern bus that started at 8:30 until 4:30 and hit most of the top sights in DC. Excluding Washington Monument, Spy Museum, Arlington Cemetery. Our only complaint was the guide who walked 100 yds ahead of everyone in the group as we went from site to site (Korean War, FDR, etc.) and seldom took the time to explain anything that we passed in the Bus other than the mandatory sites and they were covered in speed speech as the bus ambled by!. Lunchtime at the Pentagon mall across the Patomoac was a waste of 90 minutes..when we could have had lunch in DC proper or they could have given us an option for box lunches. Drop off at the Library of Congress was a ho hum except for the viewing of the Dec of Independence docs which were fascinating. overall our guide could have made the trip more interesting and personal (versus staring at her cell phone while we walked or sat there while we experienced the sites.) The tour as on Monday Oct 30th. Trip Advisor uses third party suppliers and my guess is that they have little input as to the credentials of the guides. PS: Totally opposite experience was the tour of the Capital. Our guide was sensational!!

This is “legal” scam now!?. I just changed phone and was trying to open TripAdvisor in my new one and just realize this craziness.... be aware... it doesn’t sound correct or even legal (but I guess that if the ask persuasion and we, the users, granted, then is on us.... one of the options to signing into TripAdvisor is using my google email/account... TripAdvisor request me roc ALLOW them to be able “to see and download all my google accounts emails addresses”!!!!! What is that!!! How is that to use an app about things to do or where to eat in any given area I need to pay that service with my privacy and the Privacy of the people that emails me!!!!!? Be aware! We all are used to the “scroll down and agree” and select box and agree to be able to use most accounts and apps now day... must of the times are about fair use of apps and legal reasons..some other times is about allowing the apps to use our location and maybe cameras and being able to storage photos in our devices.... so we go ahead and click allow or agree just because we are so used to trust as no other way to get around or as part of the process... but what TripAdvisor is doing asking permission to see and download our private info... doesn’t sound right!! At all!!!

Horrible Customer Service. Apparently in using Trip Advisor they don't stand behind the reservations you have made through their app. I made a reservation and paid through the Trip Advisor app that I have used many times. Upon the hotel arrival of my out of town workers the reservation wouldn't go through. Apparently, Trip Advisor uses another company called Cancelon to process all of their payments. There was not a soul to be found at this Cancelon company to assist with anything. Their phone lines rang and a recording came on saying 'number not found'. The lady, who I could barely understand, from Trip Advisor could only say that they don't process the payments, Cancelon does. I WAS NOT using Cancelon to make reservations...I was using Trip Advisor! My confirmation email came from you, TRIP ADVISOR, Not anyone else!! If you use someone else that's between you and them! I am OR was a Trip Advisor customer, not a Cancelon customer. I'm sure this has to be happening to other people. Trip Advisor, you need to put something on your app to let customers know reservations apparently can't be made through you at this time. I get it, there is a whole lot going on in the world right now, but please take the time and LET PEOPLE KNOW!

The ratings they give to those who review is a scam!. I have submitted nearly 100 reviews over the years which I have enjoyed doing but what bothers me is the “rewards” and badges given to those who review and the badgering they do to lure you into making more reviews to be “the top reviewer in your area”. Or, “you are 2 reviews away from receiving Photographer status”, etc!!!!! I write reviews in order to share my excitement or dissatisfaction with a place of service. The place has to be pretty bad for me to complain- the businesses we review can make or break someone’s business.... that’s a serious responsibility. I take re Jewish g seriously. My reason for 2 stars for Trip Advisor is the giving of rewards for which nothing is actually given. It’s enough reward for me to be able to help a fellow traveler but be straight with your reviewers. If you award “trophies” at least back them up with a small discount on a hotel, or a meal, etc! I am a member of many rewards clubs for gasoline, restaurants, or shopping venues. These are great perks and command my loyalty. Wouldn’t that be nice if Trip Advisor extended this appreciation to its reviewers? Just saying........😁

The service is EXCEPTIONAL. Peep the scene: Date night… I have a reservation for 6PM. We arrived closer to 6:15 because of traffic. I’m greeted by a amazing hosts who walks us up to the top floor to see their colleague and she gives us an option to sit by the outside to watch the sunset while we eat! Of course we take it. We are immediately greeted by Raul and Santos. This two were TOP TIER. From drink suggestions to food recs… they Delivered the glory! We order drinks and food. Raul informs us that food will be 25 mins and suggest we walk around the restaurants to take in the full experience. We do. We take pictures and get the best of the best. Before we know it Raul tells us our food is at the table. We have an incredible meal. The Salmon and Seabass was delicious. For dessert Santos suggest one of the specials. We agree. He comes back to inform us that they unfortunately are out… BUT WAIT… he suggests a Honey Dessert…. And it’s Phenomenal! I say all that to say! Absolutely I’ll be suggesting this to my friends and All the staff here are great! Thanks Raul and Santos! Scored a big one here! Shout out to Gilbert too. He was cool peeps!

Huff House Inn and Cabins. Can’t say enough nice things about this inn. It is one of the best places we have stayed in this or any other country. From the start, the communication was excellent. The staff worked around our schedule to accommodate us. The main building in the inn is historic and charming and the staff is courteous and helpful and always ready to make things as comfortable as possible. The breakfasts are generous and delicious. There are fresh baked cookies every afternoon. We asked to keep wine in the kitchen refrigerator and the answer was “of course.”. We also stayed in the hotel building, where the rooms were large, comfortable and equipped with refrigerators, microwaves and gas fireplaces. The grounds are lovely and have several sitting areas as well as two hot tubs. There is a guest laundry facility that really came in handy. The manager on duty when we were there was Jeremy and he sets a highly professional but also welcoming tone for every guest. We would happily return to Huff House any time.

MAGAZINE STREET FOOD TOUR-New Orleans Secrets. If I could give "INFINITE" Stars I would!!! AWESOME, THE BEST, ENLIGHTENING, DELICIOUS FOOD (The Vintage, Joey K's, Basin Seafood & Spirits, Dat Dog, Mahony's Po-Boy Shop) MOST PREPARED, KNOWLEDGEABLE/FRIENDLY/ENGAGING/FUN Tour Guide, Mr. Roger Magee II who also graced us with a tour/introduction to the Phenomenal/Breathtaking Art Work of Mr. Terrance Osborne while we took a break from EATING; this is truly a "FOOD" and not a tasting tour, we needed it because at this point, we were EDUCATED,HAPPY & FULL!!! Below are some pics of the GREAT DAY we enjoyed/had on our MAGAZINE STREET FOOD TOUR...you guys have set the "BAR HIGH"...I can't imagine any tour that could rival this "exceedingly, abundantly, above all we could ask or think experience we had/enjoyed!!!...P.S.....I converted my beautiful daughter & my younger, diva sister, thanks to Basin Seafood & Spirits to OYSTER eaters (work on making them lovers...lol)!!! As you can see, I could go on and on...lol...let me leave you with this...if you want to have a "Time of Your Life Food Tour" this is THE ONE and, btw, if you book the 11am slot, consume only coffee, tea, water for breakfast because you will be EATING, not tasting

Wonderful accommodations and great staff!. We stayed at Melia Cozumel over three weeks last month from February 24th through March 12th, 2018. Everything was fantastic, want to give particular high marks to the following employees: Hilario, the beach waiter who was always eager to bring what we wanted- we dont usually drink much but probably did on the days he worked:) Alicia our maid who remembered that we need extra waters for medication etc.. Alberto the waiter in the buffet area who is so friendly and taught us Mayan words , like “show-pee” that means finished, all done. Hassell went over and above at the concierge and the other girl, Tania, was very helpful to assist my calling the airline to extend our trip and help with Spanish translating. Sandra from the office did a good job setting it all up for us. Bryan was very helpful with my printing a few important documents, so patient and calm. Martin, the younger waiter at breakfast was very polite and refilled the coffees quickly. Tania helpful at concierge. On our last night, Jose at at dinner buffet with good with the wine refills. Antonio at breakfast always came with more coffee and water. Those are the standouts I took notes about, although I have to say not one of the staff were ever rude, the activities team was funny and friendly and even though we didnt participate in anything but maybe Bingo once they made us feel welcome if we wanted to. Another enjoyable stay and we look forward to next time! Thank you!

Amazing food, drinks, atmosphere, and staff!. First time in Tofino and I already want to return for the vibes alone. After a long day of travel - continuing our PNW roadtrip from Panchena Bay to Tofino - my girlfriend and I were looking for dinner spot that could meet all of usual desires: good atmosphere, good eats, and good drinks. The Shed hit those and then some. One of the liveliest spots in town (in a good way), we loved our time at Shed! We sat at the bar and immediately fell in love with our new favorite restaurant in Tofino and it’s staff. Specific shout out to Kyle and Roberto, who were behind the bar; they not only gave us great suggestions and served incredible drinks but also made us feel right at home. So much so that we might change our plans and return tomorrow! The food we ordered - a great blend of high-end and casual fare - matched what we already thought was an amazing experience. Would highly recommend Shed for anyone traveling to Tofino. Consider yourself lucky if you also get to meet the friendly faces behind the bar as we did!

Great app but tired of some of the questions. I like the app and have used it for both evaluating and reviewing restaurants, hotels, and things to do all over the world. It is fairly easy to use but have found 1 issue that was only cleared up after I sent a message to Trip Advisor. When adding a new location of any type, a website or social media listing is shown being “optional.” I have found that if the new location does not have a website or not listed on social media, TA will reject the listing without explanation. This was very frustrating after going through all the detail of listing 2 new restaurants and having them rejected without explanation. There should be a note requiring website or social media address before going through details of a new listing. A point that not only perturbs but concerns me greatly is I am totally offended by constantly being asked if a restaurant offers halal food. It is very discriminatory to single this out. I do not nor will I ever eat this food so stop asking me this offense question!!!!

Great App But Could Use Improvements. I use TripAdvisor quite often to review my experiences at hotels, restaurants and attraction areas as well as read the reviews of others when deciding on areas and places to visit. It would be great if TripAdvisor would add cruise lines to their portfolio of things that can be reviewed as I am getting ready to take a cruise and would love to share my experience when I return. I have had some difficulties when trying to write reviews for locations or places that are not yet listed in the app. This has been very frustrating as you do not realize that your review will not get published until after you go through all that effort to write the review and include pictures etc. Additionally, I would like to see some incentives or benefits for members that take the time to write all of these reviews to inform the general public of their experiences. I have written 105 reviews, and I have not yet received any type of incentives i.e. discounts to restaurants, hotels, attractions etc. Granted, I do not write these reviews for any type of reward. I write them because it benefits me when I read others reviews when trying to decide on things to do and places to go; however, I just think it would be nice for TripAdvisor to give some sort of gesture to show that they appreciate what we as reviewers do for them. Overall, I do enjoy using this app and will continue to use the app as needed because the benefits outweigh their need for improvements.

A day for me in the air on China Eastern Airlines. Ilana and I were so excited about our first trip to Asia. Thailand and Cambodia were a dream we’ve had for what seems to be forever. But truthfully I was dreading the long flight. The longest part was from JFK to Bangkok and I imagined us getting there and losing another day sleeping off the jet lag. So we booked our travel in business class for the first time. It was a delight. The service was excellent. From the moment we checked in. Their lounge at the airport was very comfortable. The food on the plane was beautifully prepared and served and the lay flat beds were amazing. We slept 11 of the 14+hours to Shanghai and after a short layover we were on our way again for the final part of our trip. We arrived fresh and ready to tour an exciting city. And it was a pretty good deal cost wise as well compared to the price we got for business class on other airlines. Over all, a great start to our 2 weeks in Asia.

Bill’s Front Porch. Hidden Gem in Wilmington especially when you get to see and hear Folkstone Stringband! Lucky enough to be at Bill’s Front Porch when they had live music with a phenomenal Bluegrass Band named Folkstone Stringband! Beers are housemade and the new “Christmas Pants” is smooth and not too sharp. With the romaine lettuce scare, salads are a little slack but still delicious 🍁 quesadilla s are delicious especially the brisket. Their cheese dip is house made but is a little floury not cheesy enough . The craft brews are great with a variety of taste experiences. From the sharp citrus based IPA’s to the smooth new Christmas brew called “Christmas Pants”. By far the smoothest of all the craft brews Bill’s makes. Two members of the waitstaff are the best I’ve encountered. Lindsey and Sandy are some of the best waitstaff I have had. Attentive and on top of everything. Ask for them, you won’t be sorry. They are great!!! Overall Bills is a great eating and drinking establishment, Good food and beverage, but add the great music of Folkstone Stringband and you have a winning combination!

Expert Advisors!. I had a wonderful time in Orlando, thanks to the great advice from Tripadvisor. Here is my review of some of the attractions I visited: SeaWorld Orlando: This was a fantastic place to see amazing marine animals and enjoy thrilling rides. I loved the Dolphin Days show, where I got to see dolphins perform incredible tricks and learn about their conservation. I also had a blast on the Mako roller coaster, which was fast and smooth. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the park was clean and well-maintained. Universal's Islands of Adventure: This was a dream come true for me, as I am a huge fan of Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, and Marvel comics. I felt like I was in the movies as I explored the different themed areas and rode the immersive attractions. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter was especially magical, with the Hogwarts Express, Hogsmeade, and Diagon Alley. I also enjoyed the Jurassic Park River Adventure, where I encountered dinosaurs and got soaked by a huge splash. The Incredible Hulk Coaster was another highlight, as it launched me into a high-speed adventure. The Wheel at ICON Park: This was a relaxing and scenic way to see Orlando from above. The wheel was huge and impressive, and the capsules were spacious and comfortable. I got to see the skyline, the lakes, and the theme parks from different angles and heights. The ride was smooth and slow, giving me plenty of time to take pictures and admire the view. I highly recommend these attractions

I found many people to be rude for no reason. I suggest looking elsewhere and honestly reddit is much more helpful. I posted a couple things, but they were simple questions about atms. People then told me I should research and soon I would be asking about shootings where I am staying? I don’t get how I can be so stupid for simply asking about the atms and which ones to use because people’s cards were being read and used in Indonesia. I then went on to read multiple reviews and I was really taken back by how many unnecessarily rude people are on there. Some people on there do ask naive questions, but the point of the app is to help people. Anytime I told someone they were being rude my comment was deleted by the staff. I’m not sure why because I never cursed I just told the people they were being unnecessarily rude and pretentious. But maybe pretentious was taken as not following their guidelines? Because technically I called them a name? Not sure. Anyways besides people being not very helpful I also found reviews to be lacking. There are so many spots I went to in Puerto Escondido that were amazing and not mentioned. So I would suggest speaking to locals wherever you go. Trip advisor may be helpful to some, but honestly I think reddit is much better. I thought Yelp was bad, but this app and it’s staff are in no way helpful.

Le Petit Train and Awful Experience!. just now NEW My husband and I thought we would see sights of Marseille and a beautiful cathedral/church. Unfortunately, the train was not on time and we had to wait almost an hour for the set up, along with groups who needed to fill the early trains. Okay, so we waited patiently. The tour up the hill was not very interesting, except for a small part being along the coast. Only one side could take photos, but really nothing outstanding to remember. When we finally arrived at the cathedral, we were all very happy! It was so crowded on the streets and very trashy looking, but the cathedral was beautiful! We enjoyed that part and only that part. When you want to return, you wait with a zillion others without any line formation or someone organizing a way to allow people some sort of way to get onboard. This is where we had a French man verbally accost us. He yelled that we were pushing small children and those in strollers…he kept yelling it loudly. A few American men also started yelling at us, one trying to body slam me until my husband got involved. This incident could have ended so much worse except for the fact that we are very fit even in our 70’s. Please have safety protocols in place!!! Someone could have been hurt badly, as this French man was totally out of control! There is no need for things like this to happen; hire more people and keep people safe!

Historic Scotland Explorer Pass. We were gently pressured to buy the 5 day Historic Scotland Explorer Pass on our visit to Stirling Castle. The ticket concession seller described how we would be saving money and “avoiding the long lines” to buy tickets to enter Edinburgh Castle or any of the 77 Historic Scotland places. We spent 3+ hours enjoying Stirling Castle and had a decent lunch there. 2 days later we went to Edinburgh and entered the Edinburgh Castle. It was cold, windy and very uncomfortable after 1 hour doing the guided tour and the castle guide suggested a pub for lunch instead of eating at the castle cafeteria. We went to the one he suggested, warmed up and returned to see the rest of the castle. When we attempted to re-enter the castle, we were told that our “pass” entitled us to ONE visit to any of the sites. We explained the NO ONE had described this limit on the pass. She then went to page 3 of the pass and showed us the fine print. We were then told even though NO ONE had warned of this limitation on the pass, that if we wanted to go into the castle after our lunch break, we “could buy another ticket”. We decided not to be ugly Americans and left after letting them know we thought it was quite unfair.

Happy Camper. I was disgusted with Jetline Vacations to Iceland. I landed there at 4:30 in the morning. No one was there from the bus company to greet me as I was told and I was never informed the name of the company. After searching for over an hour I was told to check out this desk where no one was there. Then when someone finally showed up I was told where to get the bus. When it dropped me off 6 blocks away from the hotel at a bus stop, I was told another smaller bus would come by to pick my husband and I up. Never happened. We had to drag a broken suitcase by the airlines uphill on cobblestone roads for 6 blocks. I was nickel and dimed for everything. American Airlines messed up big time causing me to miss my flight with Play airlines to Iceland. I was charged $250 per person to get onto the next flight the next day and was charged what turns out to be an extra thousand for the vacation. The Northern lights tour was horrendous. The guide told us nothing and did a very poor job. Unfortunately, I did not see the lights while other guests said who they used for the tour kept changing locations to guarantee seeing the lights. Those guests on the same night did. Nothing picked us up at the hotel. Was lied to saying the bus terminal was within walking distance. I can go on an on with the numerous disappoints but it all boils down to one thing. Never never never use Jetline Vacations.

Hector’s in Mazatlan. This Was not a fine dining experience as we expected. I would’ve felt more welcome at Burger King and been better taken care of. Our whole experience from ordering to checking out was less than 45 minutes. The waiter took our drink order and we only got one Cube of ice after requesting a full glass. After he brought Iceless tea, I ordered a glass of red wine and never received it. The prawn spaghetti was good as was the risotto. I had the lasagna and Stouffers makes better. We were served our food & received no further attention from any of the waiters despite asking for ice and salt and pepper. We asked several times for the check and when we finally received it, we paid part in pesos and put part on the credit card. We told him to put 605 pesos on the card and he came back and had charged us 620. We will never go back here again. There were people at every table when we arrived but by the time we left 45 minutes later the place was relatively empty. People did not seem to be enjoying their dining experience either.

Best Day Ever. I had the privilege of being on this fabulous tour. Brett was prompt at my AM pick up and he was super kind enough to drive to Port Douglas to do so! He was fantastic at informing us about all the amazing flora and fauna and the amazing landscape of the Tablelands. We had a small group so it was good to get chatting and getting to know each other which I appreciated as a solo traveller. I wont go into detail about the tour because its detailed on his website but please know that I can’t stop telling everyone I am meeting on my travels about this wonderful day out, the excellent food and drink and the growers and owners who are so passionate about the area, their products and our environment. Top quality products, top quality tour! Thank you so much Brett as your tour will stay in my memory for a very long time. A must do if you are in the area!! Amazing tour and I highly recommend, Thank you so much Brett and Team.

The lobby was a big disappointment.. Not used to staying at hotels that are so simple. There is no luxury here. Besides, the hotel they advertised is not the hotel at all. The hotel with the beautiful pools is the one they show in the pictures. Seaside suites palms are dated and just okay. So if you are looking for luxury this is definitely not it. We were up graded by our travel agency. Thank God for that. Would I had stayed at the regular suites that are far back away from the pools and the beach. I believe a 3 start would have been too much. Lobby was like something you see at a M courtyard, If you know what I mean!? But hot. First day here, I know we will not come back. You have to walk everywhere because the little golf cars only pick you up at the lobby. Oh and by the way seaweed is horrible you can’t swim in the beach and the smell is horrible as soon as you get outside of your room it smells pretty bad. Maybe that is Mother Nature and no fault of the hotel. I don’t know if they can’t do anything about that.

Navigation!?. This app has a wealth of information. However it can be quite frustrating to locate that which you need to know. For example, I tried to find information on the multiple parking facilities a t Guadalajara Airport. It wasn’t apparent, other than a few reviews mentioning parking at a couple hotels. Then, when using the search function, it kept taking me to an “airport west”, that seemed to be far away (New Zealand?). Still not convinced parking the info wasn’t there, just I couldn’t find it. A pet peeve - why does the app keep asking for access to my location? I wasn’t looking for something near me, nor can I remember using it for something near me. While I’ve been to this location, I’m not there now., and I’m perfectly happy to enter the location of interest. Are they selling location data? That would be a privacy violation in my view.

Good place fro family. I have stayed at this particular RIU twice now and have stayed at others in Jamaica; this was more fun in 2018 when they had a club on site and foam party. They have renovated now, and the property is better, but it seems the food has gotten worse and entertainment not as good. I would recommend RIU Negril, the more expensive one, since they have two; this will give you access to both properties since only one has a good pool. RIU Ocho Rios has an adult pool with a swim-up bar, but it’s a bunch of kids in it splashing water in your drink and some teenagers at the bar drinking alcohol. If you want a family place that you can have fun in, this is it; if you are not looking to be around many kids, avoid it. This property is very clean, and they keep it that way; I did not feel as harassed by local salespeople as I did the last time. The staff was friendly for the most part. There is no AC in the elevators, and the bottles of alcohol that were standard in the room have been removed. The gym is relatively small. I would rate this place a 7 out of 10. It’s a decent resort overall.

I would give 6 stars if I could!. We had the good fortune of spending the day with Sorhay one afternoon in June 2023 with our 3 teenage boys. Sorhay started our tour off with a culinary bang and kept the energy and the food flowing! We learned so much about the Panamanian culture, history and cuisine through our time spent with Sorhay. She engaged our boys while catering our tour to whatever we decided and altered on the fly to suit us. Her enthusiasm and passion for Panama's food scene was addictive and we were just so happy to be along for the ride! Her party bus was so comfortable and accommodated us all, rocking with music while we cruised through every inch of the city! We covered so much ground and soooo much food! Our endlessly hungry teenage boys finally had to surrender - I think Sorhay would've kept going all night! She even had chocolates dropped at our hotel! She is a treasure and we couldn't recommend this tour and her company more! One of the highlights of our whole trip to Panama for sure!!

Always use TripAdvisor! Helps so much in travel advice .. We try and take a yearly vacation and visit new place in our travels. As some, we save to have the best time, see as much as we can for great value. It’s always so helpful reading others experiences and thoughts. our trip to Germany last year we found amazing tours to several castles in a luxury coach. Trust me I was skeptical about spending a little extra $, but ready several different takes on it we were sold. Thank goodness we did, the other bus was packed as we had only30 people. It was amazing! We also used the advice of a smart travel in St. Lucia. A private van took us all over the island that the cost of a busy tour bus would of. Plus we we’re head of all the buses, so we beat the crowds. We even use TripAdvisor for restaurants when we head to different cities through the year. Yes, people have different likes but reading other reviews helps us find some awesome handed treasures. I could go on and on, but you just need use it, it’s a great way to help with some many things. Make your life easy be advised😎

TripAdvisor is Fabulous. I had never heard of TripAdvisor until 2 years ago when my brother and his wife came to Cleveland. When I didn’t know how to get to Slyman’s (for the best corned beef and pastrami), my brother looked it up on TripAdvisor. Then when we were hungry for dessert (specifically custard), he pulls out his phone and looks up nearby custard/ice cream sellers and discovered Weber’s (the best vintage custard and ice cream!!) and Mitchell’s(fabulous gourmet milkshakes as well as marvelous ice cream)which we ended up indulging in on 2 different days! I was able to learn more about Northeast Ohio in the short time my brother was in town simply because he had a TripAdvisor app as his ‘go to’ for anything he wanted to see or do in the area! As soon as he went back to Texas, I got the TripAdvisor app for myself and have been thoroughly enjoying it and the places I have been able to visit and recommend as a result of his complete trust in its reliability and complete access to all the travel information he needs!!

Useful. Having the mobile app is a godsend. That little blue dot that shows where we are is invaluable. Love being able to look up all the info that we need plus being able to ask questions and get answers to travel questions is amazing. Thanks Not sure of the new format though..I cannot navigate this stupid site anymore.. when is the travel map? How can I find all my reviews from a certain place, from years ago without having to scroll through for ages.. this it appalling and the help site is useless.. Cannot stand all the features of the new format. There is stuff floating around at the bottom of my page when I’m just trying to look up things. If I wanted to look at a review that I had done a year ago in a specific town I can’t find it unless I scroll right through the whole thing which is just stupid. You can’t seem to be able to look at other people‘s profiles. Just hate hate hate this, Please get it back to the way it was

Back to Pattaya after 25 years.. After not visiting Pattaya for more than 25 years my Thai friends said it was too return. There have been so many changes especially along the main beach road. New hotels, shopping centres, restaurants, supermarkets and many bars. I couldn’t believe the number of speed boats, ferries and floating entertainment venues. We chose to stay at the Hilton and my goodness it was 5 stars plus. Outstanding rooms, service and amenities. The restaurants were exceptional especially our dining at the Horizon. I must admit that I am not keen on the bars along the street but lots of people appear to really enjoy this type of entertainment not only in Pattaya but all beach tourist areas. So many attractions in and around Pattaya that it would suit many types of tourists.

Stay at Address Beach Resort Dubai. We spent 5 nights at the Address Beach Resort in Dubai Sep2023. From the check in ask the way through, we met amazing people that made our stay unforgettable. Wherever we went in the hotel, whether it was the crew at the Beach Bar n Grill, the incomparable team at The Restaurant ( Beth, Khushi, Avnish, John and others) or the Li Brasil , all made us feel happy, welcomed. The rooms were spotless and comfortable. Any special requests were easily catered for. The amenities and comfort through out the hotel were a welcome after a very humid and hot days outing. The highest infinity pool in the world is definitely something to experience besides the other pools around the hotel. Amazing hotel and even more amazing people that make the hotel function as a unit.

Great, but let’s make it better. Obviously I love the TripAdvisor app or I wouldn’t have written more than 150 reviews to date. Infact the app relies on folks like me giving unbiased advice to patrons and feedback to proprietors so everyone gets something useful out of it. So what’s in it for me apart from the warm glow? Well, how about information? With all the analytics around nowadays you’d think some anonymised stats about who is reading, for how long, what they did while they were there and afterwards (booked, wrote their own review, etc), demographics, was the proprietor one of them, etc. would be a good start. C’mon TripAdvisor, we know you have this data at your fingertips, so how about letting your collaborators in on it? One more thing; reviewers like me ought to be treated like the restaurant reviewers of old, ie. recognised at the point of booking, and treated decently when we turn up. I’m happy to acknowledge this in the review, if I write one. You figure out how to make it happen. Thanks.

Don’t hire from Europcar. Heard many stories but never took any notice until it happened to us. Hired a car through Europcar Brisbane for 1 week. Only used a third of a tank of fuel, that’s how little we used it. Basically from the airport to our accomodation and back. We returned the car at around 9 am Wednesday but it wasn’t until 3 days later on a Saturday morning they informed us there was not one, not two, not even 5 but ELEVEN stone chips in the windscreen. Of course by this time we were home and couldn’t view the so called damage, you can’t see anything in the photos. I think we would know if we got one stone chip. But Eleven? Of course their dispute resolution did nothing and the windscreen was fixed before we could get anyone to go and have a look. Our word against them but as they have your credit card details they took $1379 out of our account. This included not only the windscreen but $100 admin fee and a $90 salvage fee. “Rogues” They have lost our business, my work hires and everyone we know will be warned. BE WARNED

Somethings I struggle in app. The app is made really well but there are things which I struggle with. It does not give provision of editing reviews. Also sometimes the owner of restaurant replies inaccurately yo hide their faults, I have nowhere to reply or tell other people that this answer is not genuine. I cannot copy text from my own review and doesn’t show me any place of how many reviews to add to go to next level! Also you could add a feature of displaying places on map that one has reviewed to see an overall perspective and also it will help in finding my places easily. Sometimes I donot recall the name of the place I had gone to and its so difficult to find it in reviews, so it might be a good feature of app to find which places you have been and maybe sort according to month as well.

Jetstar Adelaide to Bali return. There’s nothing to recommend the Jetstar service on this route. I was on 21 D on the way back. It was on time. Maybe that’s it. So- the seat- I didn’t realise that a clean environment and a seat with some padding was extra. Like food is extra. The last customer’s tissue was stuck on the dirty tray. The staff were mainly rude. They were brusque. They couldn’t have cared less to be honest. Every time the woman behind me moved I could feel her knees as there was NO padding on my back at all. None. I didn’t have a place to put my book as there was no pocket to place it in. On arrival in Bali there was no air bridge. We had to negotiate the stairs and no one gave a toss about our safety. I have two painful shoulders and was unable to hang onto the strap overhead. Impossible. No seat. I’m now in the over 60 age group. No one was happy. We were squashed in like sardines. It wasn’t safe. Then on the way home I refused to get in the bus out to the plane til my friend who had a hip replacement and myself, with bad shoulders, had a seat. So once again this is the only direct flight we can take . A poor woman and husband crossed the tarmac, negotiated the bus and managed to go up the steps, again with no help, carrying a sleeping baby, a sleeping toddler. Their 2 other beautiful boys carried the luggage, the passports and papers. I’m furious. Time for Jetstar to lift their game. This is completely unacceptable.

Hellenika New Farm. This is the first time I have ever written a review because I am so disappointed. I booked dinner for 5 for my husband’s birthday and on booking was told it was the “last table” and we had to be there by 5:15pm and out for 7:30pm. On arrival there was a sea of empty tables. We were asked to order our food before our wine had arrived. The night was spoilt by ridiculous pressure to get out. By 6:50pm (not offered dessert or coffee til we asked) I have NEVER felt so pressured to leave 40 MINUTES before the next booking. Our waitress was repeatedly apologetic. Never again! I am a New Farm local and this restaurant doesn’t deserve best Brisbane ranking. I was followed to the lift askimg “what I want” - i don’t want anything but to be treated with respect when the restaurant is clearly NOT FULL.

Heron Island- Pristine, just divine, with wonderful staff. As you approach Heron Island all you notice are the various shades of stunning aqua blue water. I was so overdue for a break from work, all I wanted to do was snorkel, dive and sleep. The staff The General Manager Andreas is marvellous- genuinely friendly and accessible- and when he says he wants you to relax and “if you want anything at all, nothing is too much trouble” he really means it. My diet is tricky and my diving skills were WAY out of date- and the restaurant staff were so friendly, accommodating and helpful; and the dive shop staff were AMAZINGLY skilled, fun, kind, patient and helpful. I cannot speak highly enough of the dive shop staff and boat drivers- 10 out of 10. The other guests were also very friendly. The reef The reef was pristine and divine, colourful fish, turtles swimming past and under me when I was snorkelling and diving, I watched a manta ray at a cleaning station for ages- the water was so clear, and there were so many different types of coral. The educational tours were genuinely educational and increased my understanding and appreciation of the reef and all the contributions the different critters make to life on the reef. Staying there TRULY lifted my spirits- it’s a very healing place. Suggestions for travellers: Bring fresh water to drink and a TON of Sorbolene from Gladstone on the ferry (the salt water and desalinated shower water really dried my skin out!!)

Green Island Chinese haven. Sadly this lovely Island is over run by pushing shoving shouting Chinese people all day long they are the day trippers. As a guest you can only enjoy the Island when the hoards of Chinese leave at 4.30. The Island is lovely and quiet then and you can enjoy it as it should be enjoyed. There is no area on the beach exclusively for guests and the noise is awful. The beach chairs are very uncomfortable and loud shouting day trippers are everywhere. The guest pool area is the only place to escape the hoards of day trippers. Do not stay more than two nights as the long day of day trippers is difficult to get through. The rooms are lovely and the restaurant is fantastic for FNQ. It is great to come to but More care for paying overnight guests should be given. Loud shouting children in guest areas should be reminded that they are not the only ones staying at the Island. This is a better resort staff wise they took great care in making our stay special and it is of international Standard. The rooms are excellent and clean with no mould. Beds are ok but pillows could be better. Resturant staff were kind and considerate but obviously a bit sick of their jobs. Sadly the money comes from the masses of overseas tourists so if you want a peaceful holiday this is not the place.

Villa Manta. A perfect place for a group or family Holiday on Koh Samui . We were a family of seven , so the four en-suite rooms was a perfect combination for us . Stepping down into kitchen , lounge dining areas , outdoor dining , pool table , TV , private infinity pool , sun beds , nothing else to ask for . Villa has housekeeper and cook whenever we needed , for washing , and cooked meals in if we wanted .Stay included an amazing cooked breakfasts each day . Staff arranged transport to wherever we needed , restaurants , day tour , English speaking , as villa a short drive away from main shopping , restaurant areas . We loved leaving that behind and coming back to our secluded private villa . Just a wonderfull Villa , excellent staff made for us a perfect family holiday , combination of staying in and having some days out . Thanks again Villa Manta

Not always authentic reviews. Although in the past I have been an avid user of the TripAdvisor App I am now extremely more aware. I had my own personal experience at a resort where I wrote my honest review about a resort my husband and I stayed in. A day after this review was written I was contacted by the resorts Manager via Messenger privately offering me a discount on our next visit at the restaurant on the small resort. After not replying, as I thought this was somewhat unusual given I wasn’t going to return to Thailand to stay at that resort again, he messaged me again offering me more of a discount to REMOVE my review off TripAdvisor!! We chose this resort because it had 5/5 star reviews by most people ....sadly this system has been rorted I suspect by someone who works at the resort. I contacted TripAdvisor to let them know and they told me that there was nothing they could do. So do I put my whole trust in TripAdvisor anymore-NO. My advise to everyone using TripAdvisor is to read all the negative reviews, you will soon find the truth.

Sofitel pillow shop lady. Just to let everyone know that stays at the Sofitel Fiji to visit Merewalesi who is the lovely Pillow shop lady. My husband needs a firm pillow for his neck and she talked about which pillow would be good for his needs. We opted for high latex pillow and he slept better. Pillows in room are very soft and squishy. They charge you $80 Fiji dollars to your room and on checkout you take your receipt back to the shop with the pillow and they reverse the charge. Our flight leaves so early she’s not open so you just take to reception with your receipt and they can do the reversal there as well. It is a nice extra benefit of staying here. Thank you Merewalesi we appreciate your help.

We loved our Kyoto cycling tour our guide João was the best!. My daughter and I took the Kyoto cycling tour last week -it was the highlight of our trip! Our guide João Nabais spoke perfect English and was so knowledgeable. He really looked after us and made sure we felt comfortable and safe at all times. The ride was fairly easy not too many hills .. and lots of stops for water etc. we visited shrines and temples and actually ride the Philosophers Path which was so special. We also loved riding along beside the river and canals-flat and scenic. We covered so much ground and learnt so much on this tour. We loved the ice cream stop too! João chatted away the whole time and was incredibly friendly and relaxed . I have already recommended this tour to friends who have plans to visit. 🚴‍♀️⛩💙👘🎏

Great app but was Better one edition ago. TripuAdvisor has so many applications, it makes the ideal traveling companion. It is possible to find things, write reviews, read other reviews all on the move. One feature that has disappeared is the facility to add dates to your trips, and then have the program order your interests by date. Please bring it back ! The other thing that is a bit annoying is that when you print a trip summary, the address and phone numbers are not shown, so it is necessary to go to each site to get them. This tripled the amount of paper I had to carry with me, so please can we have this feature back.

My happy place. Just returned from another fabulous holiday at the Melia Bali resort in Nusa Dua in Bali. From the moment we arrived we felt relaxed and welcomed. We stayed in The Level Lagoon access rooms (brilliant). Would not stay anywhere else. Yes it’s a little bit more money but oh so worth it. It’s the little things. Breakfast in the dining room as opposed to the great big buffet. Private pool and private beach area - special service at both - afternoon tea at the poolside cabana - cocktails every afternoon (omg) and the most AMAZING staff ever. Too many to name but special mention to Yuli - Doni - and around the pool and beach - you were all just fantastic every day - but to my besties Jaya (I looove you xx) Resti (gorgeous girl xx) and Darma (the best smile ever xx) you made our stay that little bit more special. See you all again next year for sure . Thank you Melia Bali - you really are my second home 🙏🙏❤️❤️

Meriton suites Campbell street, Sydney. We arrived straight from the airport early in the morning and proceeded to Meriton suites in Campbell street, Sydney. We were greeted with lovely welcoming smiles by the staff st the front desk. Our intention was to have our luggage stored till check in. We were asked politely if we could wait a moment on the comfortable couches in the foyer and to our delight, Siebert came up to us confirming that our rooms were ready and he could take us up to them straight away. This was 10:30am!!! We also had specific needs for one of our guests and all our needs were attended to with ease and nothing seemed to be a problem. Our rooms were stylish, comfortable, spacious and practical. You could stay here for a week and feel like you were at home away from home. The apartments are close to paddy’s markets and Darling Habour and the walk to circular quay is about 30-40mins. I would happily stay here again in the future.

A tad confusing at times.. I’ve been reviewing, hotels, restaurants & places of interest from many places, here in Australia, the UK, USA & parts of Europe, for some years now. I’ve recently been on & am seeing my reviews still sitting waiting to be submitted. When I submit, it then shows up as already submitted. I’m either doing something incorrectly or the system is getting confused. Not a major problem, however I don’t want to submit the same review twice. Also I’m concerned that some places may be sending in fake reviews. I stayed at a B&B in Kings Lyne last year based on some good reviews. It was awful , so I was very disappointed that I’d chosen if for its good reviews from TripAdvisor! Also when I posted my review of said B&B it was responded with scathing remarks from the owner, of which I had no option for supporting my original comments. Whilst I don’t want to have an online slanging match, I would like to be able to back up my comments in a mature & reasonable way !

Good food but not cheap, and need consistent service. Food was delicious with good portion (well depends on what you choose). The duck confit was of good portion and yummy but the fish was in smaller portion. But very fresh ingredients. The service was good and the staff were friendly. The only disappointing thing was they did a birthday surprise for all the other tables with sparkles and a chocolate written message on a complementary cupcake but missed ours though we had noted “joint birthday celebration” in our reservation. Apparently they had missed our reservation notes. We were not expecting it initially but when the other three tables had the surprise and personalised touches and we didn’t get it… that left a disappointing distaste. Other than this, food and service were good.

Poni exceeded our expectations. We had booked Poni to celebrate Australian Father’s Day while staying in Paris. We were warmly welcomed by ALL the staff and offered a selection of tables. It was hot but we had a breeze being in the main section of the restaurant. The menu had a great variety of options and my Aperol Spritz was fantastic, not only because it was huge :-). The food was delicious, we shared the croquettes and I had the supreme of chicken and my husband the pork - both exceptionally tasty and generous portions, with different vegetable accompaniements, not the same vegetables on each plate that we have encountered in both France and Italy. The waiters were friendly, attentive and professional and had great senses of humour and fantastic English without being condescending. All in all a great experience exceeding our expectations. Thanks Romain and Joseph.

Double Six - Seminyak, Bali. This was our second stay and it has gone down hill since last year. Whilst the food and beverage staff were friendly and kind, the people in job levels higher were not, seeming more arrogant than is necessary. On arrival we were given a number of vouchers, mostly for use within the hotel. One was external and we were told that it could be exchanged for use within, which suited us better. When we enquired about this, the man on front desk was rude and somewhat mocking - he humiliated us. We were told the following day it was ‘miscommunication’. Handled very badly. Also the venue needs external maintenance work in their buildings, TV reception is terrible and air conditioning very noisy. Breakfast is good as is the Plantation Grill restaurant. Overall though very disappointed with our second stay.

The Reserve Accommodation Barossa Valley. We have just had 5 nights at The Reserve together with 6 friends. It is a very special place to catch up as a group. The Living/Entertaining area sooo good - over looking beautiful grounds which include Bbq, Pizza oven, Sauna and large outdoor setting. Sadly for us it rained but for the locals very much needed. This didn’t spoil our stay as the log fire and the cosy room was the perfect setting to enjoy the great wines we had been buying. The manager Jodie was probably the loveliest and most helpful manager we have encountered. The only negative was the 5th bedroom- ok for children probably but not for an adult who felt poorly done by when she saw the other 4 bedrooms!! Overall a lovely stay and would definitely recommend it.

Fantastic Colonial Setting to treasure. We stumbled upon this beautiful old colonial house and fell in love with it! Shared our find with another couple who also had fallen in love with it. It has an elegance of a bygone age, with a local style of pottery that is beautiful and orientally stylish, for sale in the anterior gallery. It has a beautiful tropical garden setting at the back if you prefer an outdoor setting to the light spacious interior. The drinks selection is vast with the Raming local tea plantation’s tea highlighted. The Thai Satay Chicken was the best we have had while here in Chiang Mai. For it old fashioned elegance, delicious Thai food, lovely teas, and fruit drinks we have enjoyed there, this was our pick of the cafés we visited.

Excellent App and easy to use on phone or tablet.. The App is very user friendly and makes adding reviews or searching for reviews very simple.I have found on some occasions trying to select a radio button was very difficult but that was the only tiny issue. It amazes me that when reading reviews for this App you find users reviewing restaurants and hotels and everything BUT the App!!! You possibly begin to understand why some reviews are bad when you have a good experience at the same place. If the reviewer has no clue at all what they are doing and they are reviewing a hotel in the App review area in iTunes things start to become clear. You need a way of filtering out the users with double digit IQ’s :)

Great platform but less than intuitive app interface. I've been using TA for years, love it and I use it to plan every trip. The interface on the app to use the forum is the worst user experience for going in and out of threads though. My natural inclination is to press the "done" option at the top because I am done reading that thread. The "back" option at the bottom is not obvious at all but it's the only option that closes the thread without going all the way back to the home page. If you consistently press "done" you have to search for your location, go back into the forums, go back to the page of threads you were on etc. Despite being a practiced and tech-literate user this happens to me over and over again every time I use the app. I know it's user error but I don't have this issue on ANY other forum interface. It needs improvement.

Club Officer.. We went for lunch yesterday on the way to an appointment and were somewhat pressed for time. After being shown to our table we placed both our drinks and meals order with our lovely helpful and happy female wait staff. The drinks were prompt and our meals arrived shortly after, which was what we wanted. I ordered the lamb roast and my good lady ordered the fish and chips. When our meals arrived, I commented that I think we have been served the full size meals and not the seniors, they were huge for a seniors meal and both meals couldn’t have been improved on they were absolutely delicious, thanks Chef. When we went to pay I would have been happy paying for the full sized meal as that’s what it looked like, but no, it was the seniors size. I can’t wait to return to Club Officer and next time not to be in a rush. As we were getting into our car a young gentleman appeared out of breath from running and asked if we had been at table seven. He then produced my mobile phone which I had left behind, PHEW. Ten out of ten for everything, the staff, the service, the prices and most of all the food, which is why we eat out.

Amsterdam to Budapest river cruise. Last month we travelled on the Amaverde ship from Amsterdam to Budapest. We travelled with APT and will definitely travel with them on our next trip. Staff on the ship went out of their way to look after us and everyone on board. The cruise was well organised and the excursions were very efficiently run with such knowledgeable guides to provide us with a wealth of information. If I could remember a quarter of it I would be doing well. The food was outstanding and the service and hospitality was fabulous. Entertainment provided was good also. Everyone was catered for. The level of care for a few passengers who had ailments was beyond the call of duty for the staff member who looked after them. There was so much to see and do at each port of call that made it a trip to be remembered. At the conclusion of our journey we went over the whole trip and decided we could not fault them on any aspect. If you want to be looked after like a prince and princess they are the company to travel with.

10 Day Stay. I recently visited Singapore as a birthday vacay and stayed at The Furama City Centre. I have very mixed feelings about these premises. When you first walk in you see the multi coloured rug & staircase as shown in all pictures but this needs to be replaced or regular cleaning as it has many stains on it. Once you enter the Lobby, which is either granite or marble, and looks impressive, you then see dirty stained lounge chairs. I stayed on Level 20 & had access to the Executive Lounge & was very reasonably charged for room & lounge(superb staff, see separate review). Upon arrival we were informed renovations were being done to the facade, but the interior is in need of major works. Dirty walls, badly stained carpets in serious need of a fresh paint. Level 6, area to pool, gymnasium & laundry has the most horrid smell every time you enter that floor. Like severe water damage odour. Pool area has lounge chairs to use but lacks appeal. Bonus with this hotel is that it’s within walking distance to the hustle & bustle of Chinatown as it is located right amongst it. Close to several Hawker Market Stalls for those wanting cheaper meals. A two minute walk has you right at the MRT station, the perfect way to travel Singapore. I hope they do upgrade the interior as there are many options o

Ok but I’m sick of the supplementary questions. I review on TripAdvisor partly to counter the sometimes large number of silly reviews (of course, mine aren’t silly ;-)). It can also be useful to see reviews of places, hotels and restaurants that I’m thinking of visiting, particularly hotels where there can be useful information about rooms, noise, etc that is not available on hotel websites or published reviews. It’s also useful as a kind of diary of my travels. However, in writing a review, I am getting thoroughly sick of the supplementary questions required before a review can be submitted. No I don’t know whether a visually impaired person will be able to find their way around the restaurant, or whether service dogs are allowed, or whether vegan food is offered, or the plethora of other questions. I suggest if you do have those questions, which may be of great importance, then ask the restaurant, hotel or place of interest, rather than rely on TripAdvisor.

A lovely day on the water. We set sail around 11:00am for our 7 hour cruise. The crew were kind and professional. The hostess caring and informative. A professional crew all round. The water was calm, so no sea sickness; thankfully as I am a bad sailor. The island of Koh Phangan is beautiful with a smattering of houses and resorts. Lunch was served, a selection of 5 delicious Thai dishes plus all the fruit you could eat. We stopped to snorkel at Koh Ma , a beautiful cove framed by golden sands. My husband said the fish and coral were beautiful. We set sail again heading to Koh Phangan where we had a choice of massages, walks along the beach or drinks at the bar. All tips at the bar go towards the street dogs. We set sail for home, enjoying g a spectacular sunset as we returned. Our entry to port was celebrated with fireworks from the onboard cannon.

Magnificent Acropolis. Having seen the Acropolis and Parthenon in pictures since childhood the fascination of the reality of being there could not be dimmed by the hoards of tourists and unrelenting heat in late September. The site and the structures are simply amongst the most magnificent on earth. The pictures in books cannot replace the views from the heights of Athens ( no buildings are allowed anywhere near the height of the Acropolis) and cannot reveal the timelessness and sense of history thick in the air. The constant repair of damage done by the Persians and many others, including failed restoration projects by the Greeks since the 1800s, cannot remove the extraordinary vibe of this ancient seat of great glory and mysterious Gods and great leaders and rulers. The seamless tourist process was very good although we were not offered headphones and an auditory guide which would have been appreciated. The signposting leaves a little to be desired in terms of available options and must have been obstructed by the large crowds.

Bruny Island Safari’s gourmet food and lighthouse tour. Our experience started smack on 7am from our Hobart CBD pickup point. Tour guide Phil was informative and maintained a good level of “chuckle” throughout. The Sea Change tragics amongst us all agreed we’d met Diver Dan’s doppelgänger. Phil builds out the Bruny Island food story and the movers and shakers behind the scenes. Our first stop of oysters, cheese and sour dough hit the spot. Spectacular views from the lighthouse as well as the lookout at the neck of the island. The stops to follow from the main meal to the boutique fudge were a delight. Look out for the specials list at the pub as even though my scallops were delicious, I was trumped by my wife’s crushed cashew encrusted catch of the day. Next time! This tour is a must.

Perfect hotel at the heart of Mai Chau at a cheap rate.. Mai Chau Lodge located in the heart of Mai Chau. The magnificent view can be enjoyed from the hotel. Customers of the hotel can safely canoe for free in its exclusive lake. The food provided at the hotel is exceptional. The buffet breakfast includes genuine Vietnamese dishes and a chef who is ready to cook a fresh omelet upon your request. The hotel has the exclusive right to take its customers on a complimentary tour of a volcanic natural cave. My friends and I were fortunate enough to be taken to the first chamber of the cave by the kind manager, followed by a professional tour guid taking us to an adventure inside the cave. The hotel manager is professional, friendly and passionate about serving customers. Even the Vietnam Tourism Minister chose to stay at this hotel while we were there, which highlights the hotel's exclusivity at a very reasonable price, perhaps half the cost of an average hotel in Hanoi. Regarding my personal experience, I had to stay at this hotel due to my individual circumstances. However, the understanding and care shown by the hotel manager and the assistant manager made me feel like a family member, and I will always be grateful to them. I am confident that you will enjoy your stay in this hotel and have a wonderful time in Mai Chau.

Amazing Rooms & Amazing service. It was an absolute pleasure to have stayed in such a beautifully & impeccably clean apartment, we were able to stay on the 7th floor which the VIEWS of the surrounding city was incredible, from the minute we arrived we were greeted with OUTSTANDING service it made us feel so very welcomed. Housekeeping WOW just WOW can’t say to you ALL enough that this beautifully cleaned spacious room was the best we’ve ever stayed in and we truly mean that we would HIGHLY recommend to stay here, not to mention it’s also pet friendly our baby Versace loved it and we will stay again 🌺🌸🥰Thank you EVERYONE we loved our stay xx

Unsatisfied diner. We went to have some lunch on Friday 20th just before we did our shopping in coles Coburg and we were not satisfied with the service of the restaurant the chef was in his own and of course couldn’t do much faster to serve us quicker and was not too fast to serve us and we also were not satisfied with the meals the porterhouse steak was too tough and the lamb souvlaki was too dried out the meat didn’t seem to be cooked fresh it was over cooked and dry /tasteless and very. Bland and after waiting that long for a meal were expected to have better quality food and be satisfied with the amount of money charged / I think that place needs a lot of improvement if they want more customers to be going to dine there and food was not the best quality the porterhouse steak was tough and old not highly recommended and the lamb souvlaki was dry and over cooked would not recommend this place

Great for research. Great App! I use this app for researching areas and hotels, using actual traveller reviews to gauge hotels etc. I would give it 5 stars however I find a couple of things a little annoying. If I'm planning a trip, each city would have different dates but I have to keep changing it. Plus when I receive emails with updates on prices I often get a different deal on the app itself or a blank page. One more thing about hotels, when using the filter can "parking" be included on the filter? At the moment it has " Free Parking" which is good however many hotels have parking available at a nightly rate. That said the forums are great to get other travellers advise. The app is also great for researching things to do in each area.

Awesome adventures of the imagination. What a great day we’ve had at the amazing Bellingham Maze. This place never ever disappoints me or my little friends that I have the pleasure of sharing it with. Walking into the maze there is a waterfall that covers the entrance at first which captures the imagination and it really can just flow from there. I love asking the children lots of questions about what they think might be behind the waterfall and where the path may lead and what treasures they may see or whether there is a crocodile in the water or perhaps a fairy that lives in the maze somewhere 😊 creating some magic ✨ We made our way through the 5 different mazes and had loads of laughs on the putt putt golf ⛳️ course. My little 6year old friend was super excited 😃 to get her first hole in one🏌️‍♀️😃 and the beautiful staff always make everyone big and little feel super special 👍 certainly worth a visit and the cookies at the cafeteria are awesome 😃

Great leisure app. TripAdvisor does a lot of things well. It’s a review site for holidaymakers or people looking for something fun to do around where they are. The app has an easy interface for people looking to research things to do around where they are. It’s “top 10 lists” are easy to scan through. You can submit reviews directly in the app, send your photos as well. They seem to list almost every business that’s worth going to - i can’t recall not being able to find a place I’ve been to, that wasn’t listed on their site. The reviews are reliable, with high ranking places usually being worth the hype.

Cycling tour Saigon to Siem Reap. Just completed a 11 day 10 night cycling tour from Saigon to Siem Reap. The tour operator was Tour Radar and the local operator was Indotrek. Overall the tour was average at best. Accommodation was well below acceptable especially for what you pay. Most beds were so hard you could not sleep even after a tough 70km ride. The places we stayed at were small towns with virtually nothing to see. Getting a massage was almost impossible. Aside from Saigon and Siem Reap you could skip the rest. A number of tour features like the boat ride to Siem Reap wasn’t available and while this was known to the operators we were only told the day before so we had to endure a 7 hour car ride on roads unfit to drive on. No way could you even attempt to sleep as the roads were so bumpy. Scenery was poor at best with only a couple of interesting sites over the 9 days riding. Guides did their best to make it interesting but they had very little to work with. Bikes were also fairly old. I would not recommend this tour or this company to anyone. Neil ( PERTH Western Australia)

Fairmont Day Spa. It’s day like today that leave me dreaming of returning to the Fairmont Hotel in Sanur Bali. Food is exceptional (especially the breakfast) hotel staff extremely polite, after 4 stays over 5 years they feel like family. None more than Kadek Paitri that runs the lobby lounge & Wayan Warati that runs the day spa. Both women are exceptional at their jobs & make the experience breath taking. The massage (s) I have received were heavenly (second to none the best massage I have ever had) all treatments were outstanding & a clear 5 out of 5. It personally left me with a sense of spiritual awaking, feeling refreshed, completely relaxed & rejuvenated (one of the most stunning places on earth) with gratitude, Katie Burt x

Somewhat disappointed. I recently stayed at the Pavilion on Northbourne in Canberra for a week I was somewhat disappointed when I went to my room and there were no drawers to put my clothes there was hanging space and two desks three chairs but no drawers in the room. No bedside drawer there were also five small holes plugged in the wall, the shower rail was all rusted the paint was a dark olive green and only one picture on the wall behind me I complained at the front desk three times about the lack of storage . Nowhere to put my clothes and was told that I would only have drawers if I booked into a suite as hotel rooms don’t have drawers and most clients only stay 1 or 2 nights in single rooms!!!! The tap kept falling off the wall in the showers d there was not even 1 hook to hang anything. Only 1 mirror in the bathroom as well.I have been coming to Canberra every year for 20 years and I found this the most disappointing accommodation ever.

Essential for a successful trip. I ALWAYS use TripAdvisor to search for both accommodation and attractions. It’s the best App to find the best deal and to get REAL reviews. A couple of points: When looking at reviews, take the spectrum of good-bad into account (There’s always some whiney person who doesn’t like the colour of the plates or something. Do the good reviews outweigh the bad? Which reviews- good/bad- are more recent?). When searching accommodation, select Filters and By Ranking, so you get the accommodation that gets the most positive reviews, not the “cheapest”. We’ve found some amazing, fave accommodation this way. Wish the affiliate vendors (Booking, Agoda, etc.) would have better descriptions (what is a “double bed” vs “large double bed”? Is it a Queen? King?). But overall, this is the perfect App.

Aviair Mitchell Falls Scenic Flight and Hike. What an amazing day!! The scenic flight around the top of the Kimberly was beautiful. Our pilot, Tim, flew lower over the main attractions, affording us great photo opportunities. The hike to the Mitchell Falls was really great, incorporating some amazing aboriginal rock paintings, creek crossings, walking across the top of a waterfall and behind another, to be rewarded with spectacular, postcard quality photo options of the falls. If this wasn’t enough, the helicopter flight over the majestic Mitchell Falls was breathtaking. I highly recommend Aviair at Kununurra. Nothing was too much bother catering to dietary needs, attention to passenger comfort and assisting with the not so agile walkers. Thanks Tim for a fantastic and memorable day!

Bali Dream Paradise Tour Service transport guide. Look Kadek up on his Facebook page you will be very happy you did if travelling to Bali. We are in our 60’s first trip to Bali and he absolutely made us feel like we were at home! Spoke perfect English , fantastic careful driver and toured us around for two weeks nothing was a problem. So easy to message and he responds so quickly. Last night our young son wife and toddlers arrived on a two hour delayed flight from Australia, Kadek was ready waiting with a sign , they were so pleased after long flight with 1 and 4 yr old. Thanks Kadek we wish you all the luck post pandemic and hope everyone who reads this makes contact👏👏👏

Hotel manager treatment of guest booking. I made a booking two months in advance and unfortunately a family member of mine has passed and our trip to Italy has been canceled. I understand the hotel has a policy but it’s human nature to understand unfortunate circumstances do occur and human compassion should prevail. I have asked for a refund and I have been treated like old bread in a wooden basket. I feel this has been unfair and I haven’t even had a response back from management. I have called them numerous times and that has cost me as its international and I can’t get any Answers. For a 5 star rated hotel that doesn’t pick up the phone is unacceptable as well. This is more like a 3 star hotel . I’ve called at late hours in Italy and even so the hotel reception should answer but that’s not the case with this hotel. I am appalled . I have a family and I’m a hard working citizen and this has really hurt my family .

Inoutbarcelonatours. We booked this tour to Monserrat from Australia and were delighted with our choice. We were picked up at our hotel promptly by our tour guide John. He was full of energy and information and also a lot of fun. There were only 6 of us so it was a very nice number and John looked after us very well. Monserrat is a beautiful place, full of history, and very peaceful and serene despite all the visitors. It is famous for the 800 year old Black Madonna, who is believed to perform miracles. There is a long line to touch her so try and take an early tour like we did and get to the queue quickly. The historic monastery is still the home of 50 monks and is also quite beautiful.

Ipswich Hospital Museum. We visited this wonderful museum with a group of ladies, most of whom had grown up in Ipswich and intimately knew the hospital and its surrounds. This museum is quite new and situated in the old nurses quarters behind the emergency area where the ambulances congregate. We had two volunteer ladies tell us about the history of the place and relate some amusing and interesting stories of the early staff when the hospital opened in 1862. The museum is open to the public on Wednesdays from 9 to 12 or by appointment. It houses a plethora of old instruments and artefacts from that era. Definitely worth a visit if you have an interest in things medical. There is even a small cafe where you can grab a really good coffee or snack. The building itself is quite beautiful decorated with wrought iron lace.

Luxury Experience in Polignano A Mare. We had the good fortune to stay for a week at Masseria Le Torri on our recent trip to Puglia . Hosts Mimmo and Silvana oversee every detail of this amazing property, from the refined elegance of the rooms , the exceptional menu at the restaurant and the personal service that they extend to each and every guest. We have nothing but praise for all of the staff , who went above and beyond to make our experience the most memorable of our time in this region. Marino, Sonia and Giuseppe were exceptional and were always happy to give us tips on local places to visit and the best way to navigate our way around . A most memorable holiday that we will remember for many years to come. I would highly recommend Masseria Le Torri … you will love it !!

Great value and service. This was our first stay in Canggu. We chose the Kirana due to its location and that it’s a smaller hotel. So glad we did! A deluxe ocean view room had a lovely bathroom with twin vanities, big shower and enormous bath. Also a nice big room, comfortable bed and balcony overlooking the construction (a fact of life in Bali and the developing areas)but also the ocean in the distance. Next door to our room was the beautiful spa (also great value) with lovely therapists. Breakfast was a lovely change from the enormous buffets of other hotels with choices of American, continental or Indonesian styles. Delicious, with variety and presented with flair. The location is within walking distance of the beach and good food and shopping. The only reason I’m not giving 5 star is that the pillows were a bit squishy for me and others may not like the noise of surrounding construction. We will be back.

Thank you Miguel and all staff at Dreams Flora. What a fabulous week for our family of four including our teenager daughters. The food, drinks, rooms, pool, beach were amazing. However, the hospitality from all staff made the difference for our vacation. Miguel, our butler was particularly attentive to our needs and made all events seamless. We will be back and highly recommend this 5 star resort to friends and family.

Amazing stay!. We stayed 3 nights at W Koh samui. The team was amazing, and the staff are all very helpful, especially Ammie! She is beyond the service; great energy and very welcoming! I was lucky enough to meet up on my last two day and left me amazing experience. They provide great shuttle service to the airports or other attractions. I highly recommend to stay at W even during the rain season! We came to Koh samui around rain season but still had an great experience because of the staff. They make you feel like home! It’s a great resort to spend your vacation time!!

Healthy and cheap. Good food by the Lagoon. English speaking.

Very useful. Use the app with every trip. Thanks Trip Advisor

African Queen Supreme. We recently took this cruise while in Key Largo. It was so entertaining. The captain was entertaining and extremely knowledgeable relative to the movie with Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn. He was not only knowledgeable about the movie, but with personal information about the stars of the movie as well. It was fun especially when the ladies on board each did a reenactment of the scene where Katharine Hepburn poured a bottle of gin overboard while holding an umbrella with a perfect look of sustain on her face. The captain had wonderful black and white pictures of the stars in the movie. The tour was fun and since the passengers are limited to between 4 to 6, you got to know and have conversations with each other. And folks, the boat in which we took the cruise is the original African Queen used in the movie!!! Enjoy!❤️

Please take the cruise…you will not regret. Enjoy the views , this family run business pours there heart into what they love to do. Enjoy, relax and take in this beautiful island, Highly recommended…

Planning your trip?. Trip advisor is the most reliable source for obtaining information

Restaurant lyse martagon. We had dinner at this fabulous restaurant Food :outstanding Service : impeccable Room :well appointed and spacious

Stay away from this resort. First, the amenities listed in the broacher are false. Swim up bar pool empty and under repair, as well as the hot tubs are out of service. The beach is nice, but there is no maintenance done by staff leaving parts of it non-useable. There is no mix for your drinks unless you like club soda with everything. There is no towel service to speak of

Useless til I buy a new phone. Frustrating that this app doesn’t work for older i phones

Sign in sucks. I’m giving you 1 star because it is unacceptable for such a large company to have inconsistent sign in methods. You made Apple sign in on iPhone and decided not to include it on the web. Wow.

Hanoi travelling in good hands.. Enjoyed my time in Hanoi with Odynovo travels and in particular with tour guide Leo who was charismatic, knowledgeable and humerus, sharing with us in much detail the history of Vietnam and current day Vietnam as well as our driver Chung who expertly navigated our routes and with whom we always felt we were in very safe hands.

Siam yacht club. Great service from Fhaye, Aum, Praew, Great way to start a trip to Bangkok Very good hotel and helpful employees Mike

Excellent service. We got the superb service from Joel. He was extremely helpful. Listened to all our questions and queries patiently and responded politely. Highly recommend this service.

En Argentine retrait d’argent à peu de frais.. En voyage en Argentine en 2021, j’ai trouvé comme la plupart d’entre vous qu’obtenir des pesos en Argentine coûtait cher. J’ai contourné cela en utilisant mon compte Paypall. J’ai envoyé 500$ à mon ami et nous l’avons récupéré dans un bureau attitré Paypall pour 5.00$ de frais Denis

Mark Webber(Victoria BC). If you are considering a trip to Cuba and like to stay in Matanzas then I would like to recommend a real genuine caring family in a casa particular @Casa Manzaneda... I went to Cuba to experiance to culture, country and people. This family took great care of me upon my arrival as well kept in contact throughout my trip and assisted me in finding suitable accommodation along my travels. I went there to cycle around the island and the owners Felix of Casa Manzaneda speaks fluent english and was so generous in helping me out with everything..! I met many nice people in Cuba but my most memorable was my stay in Metanzas at Casa Manzaneda. It’s was such a nice experiance and place to stay~ I came back and stayed there again before flying back from Veredero... I have been travelling over four decades and know this has great value and promise you won’t be disappointed in staying here with this sweet family... Happy travels~~~

Best Japanese Brunch in Montreal. Admired by Shushuto vibe and decorations. The restaurant is so fancy and modern. I really fall in love with their Japanese Original French Toast. The bread is so soft, it’s melted in my mouth honestly. Mimosa with a twist of litchi flavor just blows me away. Highly recommend!

Love this site. Easy to find a trip and helps to find everything that we look for always will use this app

A trusted foodie App nearby. For Years, TripAdvisor has been my trusted companion for discovering nearby restaurants, anywhere and everywhere I traveled.

Service exceptionnel. Étant seul, Je suis allé manger au bar de l’hôtel le légendaire au premier niveau. L’accueil de la préposé aux rafraîchissements et aux mets préparés est exemplaire. Wow Wow Wow! Son nom est Véronique, l’accueil a été ´´Friendly’´ elle est accueillante et on se sens immédiatement comme à la maison. Elle crée l’interaction avec tous les professionnels autour du bar et on passe une très belle soirée. Très rare dans la restauration maintenant je la recommande à tous les gens qui font un passage au Saguenay (Chicoutimi) merci Veronique !

Excellent place for great food and so much fun!!. Loved this place so much!!! Such a fun vibe The staff are fantastic! . Thanks to Flor, Claudia & Daniel for making this an unforgettable experience!! Not only was the food top notch and unbelievably delicious. But the drinks were fabulous - especially their house made tequila And you might even see a donkey roaming thru…. And hear 1,2 3 Andales!!!! Whenever someone takes a shot. Great place. Check it out

Very good prices. Thank you for help me with my vacations

Cuate et Cuete. You will really enjoy this restaurant on the boardwalk near the big sail at the south end, whether you sit on the beach or in the restaurant per se. The hostess reminds me of the Russian leader in John Wick three – very tough, doesn’t miss a beat. We had guacamole a Mexican plate, and a grilled octopus plate with lemonade and water and all for 815 pesos for two and plenty of food. Four stars! r

Reliable App. I rely on the Trip Advisor app to give me honest and accurate information about hotels, restaurants and activities. With so many people adding real reviews every day there is a good cross-section of opinions on most things that I research. I encourage everyone who uses the app to give their ratings so everyone can benefit from their experiences.

Needs to stay up to date. Lots of the restaurants it says are open don’t exist anymore. Probably best not to trust the app for up-to-dateness.

Fraud advertisements and worst service. Don't trust them with your credit card details and their advertisements are fake. I restaurant closed in Feb 2023 and they charged me 1000$ for my restaurant advertisement in Jan 2024. I removed my other 2 businesses as well and asked my friends to remove their listings as well. It not worth working with them.

Wonderful experience. It was our second visit to PCC in 18 years and this time we just enjoyed the 5 hours of cultural experiences without a guide and it worked out extremely well. The BYU students were fantastic and it was interesting to hear where they were from and their ancestors and what they were studying at the New Zealand(Aotearoa)presentation

BE AWARE OF MADAYAW RESTAURANT. WE HAD LUNCH BUFFET AT MADAYAW RESTAURANT FOR 10 people and they should have let us know that the DRINKS ARE NOT INCLUDED SO NOW MY FAMILY ORDERED LOTS OF SOFT DRINKS AND FRUIT JUICES NOT AWARE THAT ITS NOT INCLUDED. I don't mind paying but the restaurant should know..

Good app. I’ve never used trip advisor before, but it had a lot of cool planning features and I like how easy it is to use.

Goto app for finding restaurants. I am always suspicious of restaurant reviews however tripadvisor gives peer to peer reviews which give you a good feel of what the restaurant and food is like.

Commentaires. Canada Janvier 2020 Voilà un mois que nous sommes à l’hôtel Pullman au Vietnam C’est un endroit beau propre grand et super bien situé Mon Conjoint et moi passons de très bons moments avec les gens si sympathiques .Tous s’empressent de répondre avec empressement à nos questions concernant les endroits à visiter ou simplement ou trouver ce que l’on cherche. Le resto près de la plage est joli et les personnes qui nous accueillent sont des plus sympathiques. Le buffet du dimanche soir est très varié mais surtout délicieux. Toutes les personnes que nous rencontrons se font un plaisir de nous saluer et nous souhaiter une bonne journée en s’informant de comment nous allons.Nous apprécions ces délicates attentions On ne peut se souvenir des noms de tous mais Luke est très présent sur le site et s’informe à gauche et à droite pour savoir si tout va bien toujours avec le sourire où Adam le chef cuisinier toujours prêt à satisfaire nos goûts ou Mai qui cherche à satisfaire nos moindre demandes et que dire des filles travaillant au lodge ,service impeccable. Finalement merci à chacun d’entre-vous pour votre accueil si chaleureux vous pouvez être certain que nous parlerons de vous d’une façon des plus positives à nos amis. Lise et Bernard Canada

Heritage Walk. Good tour on 1st day in Mumbai, great way to get oriented. Recommend it to see the old Bombay in Colaba.

It Could Be Better. I plan every trip I go on with this app, but today I noticed that TripAdvisor does not have a certain location called Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway. It has the same location in Florida but not in Anaheim. I filled in the address for the missing place form but it said that my address’s was not valid. I think you should probably fix it for better use. Thank You for reading this.

Like it! A good tool to use .. A good resource but just one of many research sources . The pics are always the best and not always to date of course. I enjoy reading the reviews and take some with a grain of salt , also enjoy making reviews . The forums are very helpful !

Most amazing experience. Not sure where to begin in my review if this company and those working for it. Right from the start of planning, Fauziah was the most amazing to deal with. She was flexible knowledgeable and always responded to my questions and concerns in a timely and respectful fashion. I cannot say enough about her level of professionalism and thoroughness. Completely outstanding. Our guide for the 9 days was Dixon. He was so knowledgeable about the animals birds floral etc. we learned so much from him. He was so skilled in finding the animals for us and did everything he could to ensure all our dreams and expectations of a safari were met. He consistently checked in with us to ensure our needs were met. One of the most endearing qualities was his obvious respect and love for the animals. We were a group of 5 women who love animals so much and Dixon totally met our needs here. He was so patient when we wanted to watch the simplist of animals and was open to all our crazy questions. He ensured we got as much fame driving as we wanted. He met our needs in terms of tenderness and live of the animals and one could tell this wasn’t just a job for him. He was passionate about what he was seeing out in the game reserves. We always felt completely safe with him and trusted him with our lives. He never once let us down. Our experience was beyond what we were expecting. Right from the start of exploring a safari to the completion of our trip I cannot say enough amazing things about this company and Dixon their guide. Highly recommend.

Best way to plan a spontaneous trip. I have used trip advisor for years for looking things up. When my wife and I wanted to do a spontaneous trip to Japan Trip Advisor was my go to app. The suggestions and access was invaluable for finding booking activities to fill our days. Thank you for helping us have the trip of a lifetime.

Ios 11. You’re app no longer works on IOS11. Please fix,

Best restaurant in Bangor. From the moment we sat down, and served by Shane, who was marvelous. Top not service and helped us select from a super wine list. We had the mushroom pizza with extra Italian sausage and truffle oil. Yum! Thin crust which we love, was excellent. The calamari was right up there with the best I’ve had. Shane recommended the crème brûlée dessert, done in three different flavors. Not disappointed. The had outside see through tents which seemed lovely. The whole experience was wonderful following an early winter snow storm in the NE. Certainly on our repeat list. John & Marlene.

Argentina fine foods served here If your looking forward to a good meal this is it 😁. Near centro use gps to find 👍🏻

Flawless. I have been using this app for years and never had any trouble. The developers are on top of their game.

Can’t plan travel without this app!. I am a travel consultant and whenever I plan my road trips I always use TripAdvisor app to find things to do and see. I also advise my clients to browse it to get ideas. Love this app and use it all the time.

Lombok and Gil Islands. We had Kiki as our driver. FANTASTIC. He was on time (way ahead of us disembarking from the cruise ship). The car was clean, modern and had great air conditioning. Kiki was extremely informative and courteous and accommodating to all of our requests (4 of us). He got us safely to our boat and crew Ahmed and Irdi who got us around all 3 Gili Islands and took numerous photos and videos of us in the water with the GoPro. Pictures of us with beautiful fish, turtles and underwater statues before having an authentic Indonesian lunch on the island. They both were amazing and then they got us safely back to the mainland where Kiki was waiting for us. Back to the ship with our fantastic driver and started looking at all of the great… included at no extra charge … pictures. Johnny Tour Guide is THE ONLY way to go

À ne pas manquer, super resto !. Malgré que nous étions 23 à arriver en vélo, nous avons eu un accueil très chaleureux! De beaux grands sourires , Service rapide Sachet de pain,foccacia , chips ont rapidement atterris sur nos tables. Délicieux!! Et que dire de la lasagne d’ aubergine au 1 et service ! Un vrai délice Et le « top » : un Chansonnier sur la terrasse !

Amazing experience in Rome!. The service and food was amazing! Angelo’s service was impeccable! His attention to us and others was incredible and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Rome!

At the “Prestige Hotel in Sooke”. Had the most fantastic time tonight, great view, amazing service, and such good food … all in for two meals at $49.00 plus, take advantage of happy hour… check it out! Thank you Jessyca….my Peru buddy!

I love it but it needs work. I really love this App and I contribute and peruse it a lot but.... Please fix something pdq, writing a review is often troublesome. Almost every time when I’m ready to submit the review, it wants me to sign in again, over and over. Often it wants me to prove that I’m not a Robot, this is extremely annoying so do something about it, please. Otherwise, it’s a good App

Sunshine City. Busy city, traffic was terrible but there is a bypass road as an alternative.

Awesome app. Trip Advisor is still the best site for real travelers

RUI Sante Fe. This was my fourth trip to this resort and I couldn’t be more disappointed in how it was this time. I will start with the “designated smoking areas” NOT…. People were smoking everywhere even in the restaurants. Secondly the drugs being sold in plain view of the people was disgusting. I didn’t feel safe going down to the beach. I saw people right in front of me buying drugs all day long. The vendors dug up the bags of cocaine and other drugs daily before the crowds came. The beach was dangerous and the life guards didn’t enforce at all. The foam night parties were an orgy! I didn’t feel comfortable at all as a mature women being there. The entertainment in the lobby was terrible. The food wasn’t bad but certainly not excellent by any means. The staff in the restaurants weren’t pleasant at all. The drinks were watered down to the point of being laughable. I will never return or recommend this resort. What a waste of money!!! I’m sure it will continue to be popular but I hope you take these comments into your decision. There’s more but….

Restaurant Nilo , Fuengirola. Un service impeccable, une nourriture de qualité. Les steaks sont excellents. Ça vaut le déplacement

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Quiet beach in paradise. We just came back from a 8 night trip to Secrets Akumal. The resort was of course beautiful. However, we need to mention the beauty of the beach and surrounding area. We walked both ends of the beach until we could walk no further. Going both north and south of the resort, we saw a variety of beachfront area. Some of rocky and barely walkable but beautiful flora and fauna once you walk away from resorts which is essential to see the more wild and scenic side. Please wear water shoes because you are wading in water and walking on rocks in some areas. Resorts can get boring so explore and meet some of the locals or talk with others from other resorts. That is how we learn the history of the area. A change of scenery is a must and helps us appreciate other thing’s outside the resort. We love talking with the locals and other tourists from surrounding resorts

Everything I Want To Know Beforehand!. Pick a topic: restaurants, hotels, local color and the opportunity to make RSVPs; I find the Trip Advisor App covers almost everything I want to know about and prepare for before I depart. 1. I particularly find mention of “actual menu items” (whether or not available the next time)helpful in understanding what well traveled members have found the restaurants actually prepare & serve well. 2. Hotel Information from travelers, especially regarding it’s location to local landmarks in international cities, is very helpful. 3. Local Color information is invaluable when trying to decide what to pack for the day trip: water bottle, bug juice, etc. and understanding areas mobility & necessary time to allow. 4. Can’t mention enough how helpful & reliable the opportunity for various excursion & meal RSVPs thru the Trip Advisor App has been on trips to Paris, Giverny, London, Rome & Positano, etc.

How the World Communicates. When you want to know about something you come to TripAdvisor it’s just what you do when you want to learn about experiences fine photography no price points maybe find some good professional tips on how to avoid long lines something really special about a venue and maybe learn something that you’ve never known before so when you go and visit you find something special and Magical Place , TripAdvisor lets you do all of that and much much more, it’s like a collective consciousness of knowledge a dynamic body of growth, each day adds new experiences and people talk about them here , this is where the road comes to communicate and this is where you should come to get information on your next trip and if you have the chance look me up I have a couple reviews and places for you to go it’s a wonderful World let TripAdvisor show you where to go 🙏🏻

Gundersen’s Thanks!. After quite a few hours ride from the south of the State of WI. we were pleasantly surprised to arrive at this location for our few days stay in LaCrosse…. Recommended by staff nearby in the Viterbo area and FSC, we are definitely grateful to have become acquainted with this beautiful place, welcoming staff and great location. Amenities include very nice rooms, breakfast, parking & outdoor walking areas. Staff wearing masks was definitely a plus as we were looking to be as safe, comfortable and well as possible. Very clean place and extremely pleasant rooms and beds. Our only complaints, incorrect billing info and repeated attempts to get a correction from 2 desk members and 4-6 calls for assistance thereafter? There’s an allowance for pets here, which is not a problem for us…however leaving big and or small dogs alone in a room to bark persistently, scratch about doors and floors as well as ramble around noisily frequently for 45-60 minutes and more is unacceptable for us and many people!!! With many people trying to rest and enjoy time together, watch television, or talk with visiting guests it was difficult to get help from the front desk to rectify this annoying problem??? Thanks to Heather on the second shift 4 days later & one last call, we were assured the corrected billing statement was on its way! We are still on the list as return customers… thanks again.

Won’t leave home without this app!. In today’s highly competitive world, many restaurants and hotels are scrambling to get customers in their doors. This app is one of the most valuable apps for travelers who don’t want to be surprised with poor service, low-quality food, and bad environments. I really like it when I’m researching a restaurant and deciding to go there and being able to make a reservation right through the app. One caution that I recommend is to always look at more than one or two reviews. I normally look at at least 10 low reviews and 10 high reviews before I make a decision and always remember restaurants and hotels are gaming the system by putting in their own reviews of their own establishments. I usually put more weight into a review from someone who has a history of traveling which you can see in their profile.

A great resource when traveling. I come to rely on this app to find great restaurants in areas I never been before. My coworkers brag about the places I discover from this app. I use it when picking out hotels as well. The reviews help prevent me from staying in some dives. Just because it is $30 cheaper a night than the other hotels doesn’t mean it is a deal. I have made the mistake of saving $5 on a hotel and regretting to this day. Read the reviews and look for patterns in the reviews, do your due diligence on the reviewers also. If a reviewer gave a place a bad grade does that person ever give anyone a good review or is it even their first review. Find out why a business, restaurant or hotel got received a good review or bad review. Then decide if you want to visit that business. This app will save you time and money if you use it and you can find some rare hidden treasures while traveling or right in your hometown.

Staff are such sweethearts at the Hyatt Monterey Spa and Resort. I wrote a glowing review already. But I didn’t mention two more very worthy points. At admission- they make life so easy. I had Chris at the front desk. He was caring and took the time to answer all my questions. Also Whitney at front desk went out of her way to look after guests. The check in and check out was easy. I had delicious meals at the restaurants here, both at the resort, and in downtown Monterey. Don’t forget, the most exotic choices are available at a stone’s throw in cute Carmel. At the resort- They take a lot of trouble to avoid plastic bottles; but they over use plastic glasses. SHOULD BE AVOIDED!!!! A very wonderful feature is a lighted bed. When you walk near the bed, there’s a safety light. This will save you from stumbling in the night. All in all - a wonderful experience- good location too. Pl do visit the amazing Monterey Aquarium. Thanks Hyatt 🌺🌺🌺🌺

Prom pics at the Benson. We have stayed at the Benson several times when downtown for events. This weekend was prom and we had plans to take pics at the Japanese Gardens. Unfortunately Oregon had other ideas. In a panic to come up with a dry option for pics I remembered the lovely lobby of the Benson. The valet was sweet and agreed to keep the Jeep up front so the kids didn’t have to park and walk through the rain to get to the lobby. The staff watched for 20 minutes while we captured their wonderful prom in photos before a manager stomped up to inform us that if we weren’t paying for an event we weren’t allowed to take pics in their lobby in order to preserve the “reputation of the Benson”. I thanked him and explained the rain caused us to scramble for an appropriate indoor venue for prom pics. I know the floor staff knew policy and yet allowed the kids this wonderful opportunity. Thank you Benson Hotel. The pics were gorgeous and the kids were thrilled.

Wow - Pasta !!. We ran into this place by accident.... then read about it. We liked the look of the place - very funky but intimate. It seemed to (by comments) have devolved into something slightly ‘touristy’ these days. So we were confused but liked the hand written menu. We read and heard from the greeter that it was important to get a reservation.....(“Don’t be late, you have an hour and a half to eat.”). With all that we waited outside for the place to open at 8 sharp. The prices seemed a tad high when we ordered. TO SUM: The paparredali (sp?) I had was the best pasta I’ve ever tasted. The bisteka I had was tasty. Both dishes were VOLUMINOUS. Very large portions. My wife had the house specialty pasta and lamb. We could have just ordered one pasta dish and a ‘secondi’ and been fine. The atmosphere was terrific, the hard working server and owner/host were friendly. In short - this was 4.5 stars and a nice nice place to discover.

Every time I travel, and sometimes at home.. I love this app, I use it wherever I go to find places to eat and things to do. I return the favor by posting reviews everywhere I go... EXCEPT when at home. (I live in Vegas, and honestly, we want the tourists to mostly stay in the tourist areas. If you come to town to visit relatives, they may take you off the strip for a good meal, but the town is laid out for you to easily get back and forth in the tourist areas, and to be able to do ANYTHING you want while there, and for the locals to be able to avoid tourists by avoiding the tourist areas). I have traveled the world, this app has helped me out on four continents, didn’t get out and about on the fifth (work stopover), haven’t been to Australia or Antarctica yet.... and honestly, I don’t think this app will help much when I do get to Antarctica..... but it helps EVERYWHERE else.....

Anniversary dinner. I made reservations at Jeff Ruby’s for my wife and my 30th anniversary. Upon arrival, we were greeted and told “Happy anniversary”. We’re seated quickly and greeted by Michael and Eric. They also told us Happy anniversary. We both had cocktails which were very refreshing. Eric split the wedge salad for us and it was tasty as well. I had the bourbon filet (medium rare) and my wife had the petite filet (medium). Both steaks were prepared perfectly and were tender and delicious. We split two sides. They were the Brussel sprouts and the truffle cream corn. Both were very good with the truffle cream corn being the hands down winner. To cap the evening off, Eric brought us a complementary anniversary dessert to share. He also took our picture. All of the staff at Jeff Ruby’s that we interacted with were top notch and very pleasant. If we return to the area, we will definitely return.

Playa Grande 2017 new year. Well first impression is good. Facility is clean and the hosts and staff are nice. I choose building O for the nice view and short walk to the beach. Building P was all booked. The 1 bedroom is nice and spacious with kitchen 2 bathroom 2 balcony. Get the higher floor 3 or above for better view. We have our first dinner at calina restaurant and it was good. If u want some free credit for food and beverage then do the time share breakfast if u dont care then skip it. The pool is nice and heated i think its a salt water pool it tase like salt water. Beach is very nice however because of the drop off near shore they recommend no swimming but theres people still swim. The beach is very quiet not crowded like cancun mostly because of the current undertow so not too many people swimming. You can walk to the left of the beach and climb over a rock mount then u will be at lovers beach which u can swim and u can see the land end rock arch.

Great app but needs to upload the photos by most recent. It’s such a great app, helps you check restaurants, shops, hotels, activities, almost everything you need to plan your trip. You can read opinions by rating, or recent and even make searches for specific subjects like food, hours, rates, etc. My biggest complain is that the photos get sorted randomly and you end up seeing pictures from 2018 or later, for things that restaurants don’t serve any longer and hotels don’t have, room that don’t look like that no more, etc. It’s so annoying that you can’t trust what you see because it mainly shows you photos years outdated (and even decades, I ran into a pic of 2012 checking this one hotel) that I have to search other apps that give me a more recent information. Other than that is still a very useful app for travel planning.

Bed bug-bites in room 1808. Everything was great, but I just couldn’t figure out if it was mosquitos that were enjoying our skin. Stayed aug 15-22, 2021 arrived back home and washed everything in hot water and our luggage is sitting outside for further disinfecting. Called the hotel to inform them of this incident. They wanted to know why I hadnt complained earlier. I told them that I had never experienced anything like this in my life, but that on Saturday night I woke up due to the biting and realized it wasn’t mosquitos but bed bugs. We were checking out Sunday morning early and wasn’t going to miss flight when I knew I could report this on my return. I was advised that they would do their internal investigation and call me. It’s Mexico so I’m sure that I won’t be hearing back from them. Just an FYI there are bed bugs in room 1808 at las Brisas Ixtapa. Everything was perfect except for this incident.

This place is a great find!. I asked at our hotel for a place open late with good Italian food with a Japanese twist, and Trattoria Isuqo came recommended. It was terrific! My wife got the fresh squid ink pasta of the day with calamari and olives — and she was impressed. The spicy sausage pizza was excellent — thin crust, which I like. And small enough for me to have on my own and finish the entire thing. Really tasty. The charcoal grilled Shiso Peppers with salt and lemon as appetizers were a great addition. The staff is really kind and helpful to non-Japanese speakers; they’ll use an app to help translate whatever you need. Not much decor — it’s a hole in the wall type place — but decicious food, insanely cheap drinks and really nice, helpful staff. I would come back if ever again in Kyoto and OD’d on good Japanese. PS — really cool jazz, blues and funky soundtrack. And a short walk to great cocktail bars for an after- dinner drink. I highly recommend it!

It’s fun to share... but..... What I like about Trip Advisor is sharing of (what I believe to be) true experiences of travelers. I enjoy giving my true opinion to guide others where usual travel site, or travel agents might send you. What I do NOT like about Trip Advisor is the point/level messages. Who cares if you’re “in the top 10%” of reviewers? Or what % “helpful” views you’re given if you yourself do not get a reward? It’s ridiculous, like a video game to give useless IRL “points”. Although my motivation is NOT for personal reward, it would be cool to be offered one every so often. I do these reviews mostly to applaud small family businesses. I rarely review corporate “chain” establishments (I do occasionally though). Also, my reviews mostly (if you review my account) are positive & helpful, not bitter & vindictive. If I personally give a business a bad review... it’s bad.

One Of My Top Five Apps!. I have used TripAdvisor for nearly ten years. I never travel or try a new restaurant without searching the site and reading the reviews. Recently, I have booked hotels and dinner reservations more frequently using the site. I have read some of the other reviews. I disagree with most of the criticism. I understand that this is a free site and that there is a company behind it that has commercial needs. However, if you have spent enough time using the site and the app, you will recognize the advertising. It's easily maneuvered to find the strictly objective advice. For example, I would prefer that the site did not default to "Best Value" ranking when searching hotels, as it is not fully reflective of hotel rankings by users. However, provided that you remember to change the default setting on each search to "Traveler Ranked", you can find the objective data.

Friendliest staff, cleanest and coziest rooms, reasonably priced!. This is a review for the best Western Inn at Facetock in Bandon, Oregon. We stayed there in a recent vacation and had been there a year earlier too. We specifically came back to this hotel due to the friendliness of the staff, the coziness and cleanliness of the room, and the reasonable price. The hotel is across the street from the beach so we’d wake up every day to fresh air and the sound of the waves. Every day breakfasts , included in the price, were always delicious and carefully prepared with many options. The check-in-staff, the cooks, the hostesses, room service attendees, were all friendly, professional and made us feel at home. Kudos go to Larry, the manager there, Eileen, and the rest of the welcome staff, who gave us great suggestions as to places to visit in Bandon. We highly recommend staying at this lovely hotel if you’re in the Bandon area.

Came here for Dave and Tim 2020 - and ready for 2021. We booked here for the Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds three day concert and would come back for the resort alone - though we are actually coming back for Dave and Tim 😁. The resort is fabulous - we stayed in the Sunrise section. The rooms are huge, and oh so comfortable. I spent three hours in our (huge) ocean view balcony terrace today and am looking forward to lounging in our ocean view double size jacuzzi. Really. You cannot beat the food - delicious, abundant, varied. The service has been exceptional. Personal shout outs to: Carlos, a server at Asadero restaurant - someone needs to make him a manager ASAP. He is friendly, extremely knowledgeable, service-oriented, helpful, cannot say enough. My background is in hotels and he definitely puts time into learning everything about the company he works for so he can answer every question I had, as well as showing a deep interest in his own restaurant, menu items, flavor profiles, you name it. A first class server and all around good person. Ask to be seated in his section - you won’t be disappointed! Carmen, message therapist at Awe Spa - I had a wonderful 80 minute aromatherapy massage with her. She is lovely, strong (found all my back knots and worked them out), professional and kind. I truly recommend her!

A Tool that is a absolute “MUST HAVE”. I hate reviewers that post an review based upon a bad experience... things happen, think for a moment, will that exact “negative experience “ happen to a reader?... especially fussy, opinionated, clueless, needy. idiots like 99% of the one star reviews I have read on this site. I love reviewers that dine or stay or experience something “multiple times” and “THEN” feel qualified to review something.,, In essence ice Cream Parlor is not a restaurant.., no bad service may have happened , at your table, but not the table next door.., so express yourself at the moment.. “ DO NOT LET A PROBLEM BECOME A COMPLAINT!” I have many reviews, over hundred, but not in the thousands, although I could... I eat out 21 times a week 99% of the time for free, and with dozens of people who are inclined to complain, and I represent the company that put them in their Hotel/ Restaurant/ Experience End of story ... please do not review anything you did just one time, positive or negative.. you are not qualified to do so... An exception to this would be hygienic or honesty., Please AMERICANS, Australians, Canadians, and just about every nationality when abroad... cut them some slack! You have awesome Hotels, Service, Organization, because that is what you offer the visitor!... If you only have that to offer then it better be good!

What year is this. I thought it was 2023, but TripAdvisor has convinced me I’m wrong. I was trying to book some activities recently in Rome. I’m not sure if they are having issues but over and over again I received error messages on my phone app and my PC browser. I booked an experience that asked me to move the time… not a problem for me, but for TripAdvisor, it’s apparently a big problem. I can’t access the reservation to make a change. Can’t cancel it. Can’t start over. Can’t call anyone. Can’t resolve a simple issue in a reasonable amount of time. I’ve dealt with travel related companies over the last 20 years and one thing I will NEVER compromise on…if I’m not worth your time, you’re not worth mine. It’s rare that I need to talk to someone to resolve an issue, but when it’s necessary, it’s necessary. I’ve never heard a customer service line explain how to submit issues online and hang up. Low class service from a company that’s happy to collect their fee but provide no service. For anyone who cares about others, this company screens exploitation. Just saying.

Navigation. I wrote a review and got auto corrected, didn’t catch it and now I cannot find the EDIT thing. Haven’t seen now if they send me an email to review and edit before it is actually published though. Also It would be nice if somehow the app interfaced with a map without having to go in and out of the app. Many times I am trying to find hotels, restaurants, attractions by locations and proximity and I get tired of having to go back and forth, would be nice to be able to ‘pin/ sticky’ note stuff within the TA app so I don’t have to figure it out all over again. I’ve started taking out my paper map and using sticky notes which works but would be nice to have something user friendly like that within TA app. I have used this app for many years and try to add a review each time I go someplace, and I really depend on this when I travel. Now I just tried to submit and it says my nickname is taken, it’s my nickname so what’s up?

Amazing stay at The Galt House.. I just returned from staying at the Galt House and wanted to be sure to leave a feedback because our stay was amazing. We stayed in the East Tower in room 1084 and the room was huge and very very clean. I have asthma and was worried about booking this hotel after some of the reviews but wanted to be close to the KFC Yum Center. As for me and my husband we were more than pleased with our stay. The staff was very nice and helpful, the hotel was beautiful and our room was amazing, clean and comfortable. We loved the sheets and bed. I read when they renovated they picked the sheets and bedding to deter bed bugs which I think is great. I did take an extra throw to cover up with. The location is also great as you can walk to many wonderful restaurants and the Yum center. We are already talking about returning in the future. I highly recommend this hotel. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Three Rs at the Residence Inn, Myrtle Beach. During the week of March 25,2019, Margaret and I enjoyed a very pleasing stay at the new Residence Inn at Myrtle Beach. Fun recreation, tasty refreshments and timeless relaxation. Joe May, Savanah and Paula responded to our needs at the front desk, and Clarissa, Tasha and Teresa ensured that our suite was refreshed each day. Charles at the bar helped with liquid refreshments, and Queens, Donna, Patricia and others provided a delicious breakfast each morning. Dinner at the hotel was sumptuous. Sea Captain’s House and Damon’s served tasty lunches each day. Take you to Glenn for assisting with the television hookup. Although the hotel opened less than two weeks prior to our arrival, minor construction and installation tasks were underway, with no impact on our stay. Chris Funderburk , Sree Organization provided us with a snapshot of the remaking tasks, and offered advise on other Sree operates hotels. Beginning with Mr. May, thank you all for a fantastic, pleasurable vacation.

Grand Luxxe at Vidanta. Once again we returned after 2 weeks of vacationing at our favorite resort Grand Luxxe at Vidanta in Puerto Vallarta. It was the ultimate vacation as it always is, never disappoints. But this year our concierge on the 8th floor of building one was a lovely young lady named Anika from Germany. She anticipated our every need and wish and always with a smile. We were celebrating my husbands birthday and our anniversary, and on each occasion some special culinary treats and balloons arrived making us feel very special. Beautiful detail. Our day maid Alejandra was equally amazing, always with a smile as she worked. Norma our evening girl just as lovely. Must also mention Jorge at the grand Luxxe taxi arrival area, who offered to take us in a private cart as the number 7 cart was full every time it passed. But I have to say, no matter who you are in contact with are special, which is why we have returned to Vidanta during these last 15 years as nothing else can really compare to the service, the beauty of the resort and the service. When they added the “plaza” . I was overwhelmed with happiness, cheese shop, French bakery, wine shop, delicatessen, and a little grocery store. Plus all the wonderful restaurants, a new one “limon y Sal” yum yum. So, thanks to the staff at Vidanta for making our vacation so memorable. Bodil and Larry Friedman 💃💃

While traveling, will NOT eat a meal without cking. My wife and I are recently retired and for the past 5 years have traveled for anywhere between 2 months and 4 months at a time in Europe and SE Asia. When it comes time to find a restaurant for a good AND RELIABLE meal, we ALWAYS check Trip Advisor. The restaurant must meet our filters and have at least 2-3 recent (within 2 or 3 months) positive viewer reviews. When we have followed those personal rules we have yet to have either a bad or surprisingly expensive tourist trap meal. While recently in Italy a friend traveling with us saw a posted menu and before I cld ck Trip Advisor we were in the restaurant and seated. Our meal was tasteless AND OVERLY EXPENSIVE. We walked right into a typical tourist trap!!! Since it was only a lunch we didn’t make a big deal out of it but our friend learned a quick lesson, because afterwards he wld always ask me to find a place to eat !!

Great potential. First i would like to recommend Enderson, he was our server and he was excellent! One of our appetizers took a long time so he arranged a glass of wine for me and my wife on the house. He was always very polite and friendly and attentive! The food was overall very good, but not excellent. I think they have the potential for excellence. They just opened two weeks ago and still working out some kinks. The glazed short ribs are delicious. Their risotto cacci e pepe is on point. The beef tartare was sublime with the smoked toasted buttered bread slices. Their Korean flavored cauliflower is creative dish and delicious. I didn’t care for the mash potatoes side nor the truffled fries; they were bland in taste. Mashed potatoes lacked some butter and salt. The red wine (Tempranillo) was too warm and almost beginning to turn into vinegar. Red wine should always be kept in a wine chiller, especially in hot and humid climates such as Aruba. Otherwise great place!

Plastic Surgery. Dr Enrique Alejandro is so so good. I did a lot of research on surgeons in Guadalajara, or Dr Alejandro does most of his work, and compared his technique, his skills, and his training with the best surgeons in New York. My sister-in-law had had work done by Dr. uses the same technique and she looks amazing. I did my research and Dr Alejandro uses the latest under the muscle technique not used by many because they have not had the training. He takes his time and treated me as an individual piece of art, sculpting my face in a way that did not change the way I look but a younger version of myself. I don’t look like “ i’ve had work done”. I’m just younger looking. The Elaen Center in Nuevo Vallarta Connect to the San Javier hospital is clean, the staff professional and caring. Not only that but he would contact me to check up on me, to have me come in for regular checks up without extra charge. He’s young, professional and takes immense pride in his work.

3 in 1 Tulum, Snorkeling, cenote/cave expedition in Cancun. What an amazing experience! Our guides Pepe and Juan picked my so and I up at our resort on time and they were very attentive to the group. They had snacks and water available for us as it was going to be 8 hours before we got to eat lunch. They were very knowledgeable with the history of the Talum Ruins and they made us laugh during this tour. They knew all of our names and took time to take pictures for us too. They were experienced snorkeler and made sure we were all safe. Pepe and Juan made the tour of the cenote and caves so amazing! The lunch was at the cenote site and was fairly good but it was the company of the people in the group that made the lunch so enjoyable. By the end of the day the group became a mini family and we bonded with each other and to our guides. It truly was sad to leave them all and I will remember each member of our group forever!!! Thank you Pepe and Juan!!!

Disappointing of late. I used to love trip advisor. But what happened? First of all, most recently, there are no reviews! Did they remove them bc of Covid? Idk. Also, I hate that “sponsored” listings come up first! Thirdly, there are often reviews that are clearly written for the wrong listing, such as a restaurant within a hotel is listed under the hotel name or a place with a similar name is reviewed on the incorrect listing. These should be removed bc this is misleading and not helpful. Fourth, people who don’t have a legitimate complaint, their reviews are misleading and unhelpful. For example, “I couldn’t park here but the food was great” and they give 1 star for parking. Another thing, you keep having to put in the same filters rather than set them for your account. For example, I never want “best value”. I always want “traveler rating” and EVERY single time you make a change, you have to re-put in filters. But it’s the sponsored thing that really is most annoying. I no longer trust TA. I still use it and just have to be very careful and read between the lines.

Fairfield Innand Suites Weaverville North Carolina. 5 stars for Lori,Jessica, and Jessica. They all went out of their way to make my stay a comfortable one. Lori went out to the store just for me to get me gallon of planet oat milk since Iam a vegan and only drink plant based milk with my coffee. What a sweetheart she is!! They did spend tedious extra moments with me going over the ingredients of the continental breakfast. All that was ok was fruit loops. I ate 2 containers and relived my childhood. There was fresh fruit though I slept too late and others had eaten it all up. I suppose they could include oatmeal, granola, or high fiber cereal. My suitcase had broke I switched to my sisters but they said I could just leave my old one there. They called me to make sure everything was ok in the room it was. The room was small but very cozy adequate and greatly designed. Beautifull curtains!!! Ac or heat. The shower smartly designed. I loved the Alice and Company cruelty free shampoo,conditioner and body wash. Very smooth, natural, clean very lightly scented. Best of all I know no animals were harmed in the making of the product. I felt at peace as my own household is loaded with cruelty free products. Everyone I encountered was very attentive and helpful. I would go there again. I give Lori all the stars in the Milky Way!!!

Beware! know what you are getting. This has become an older more run down hotel. They make the outside look nice, so keep that in mind. But our room had so many problems inside. There was a sewer smell in the second bathroom. They said they were aware of that problem and could Only bring us a scented sprayer. The exhaust fan made a very loud annoying noise. Interrupted us the very first night of sleep. Next night we tried closing the doors but they were just as unbearably squeaky when anyone got up to use the bathroom. They said that couldn’t be fixed. Later the refrigerator started with some loud noise. All our problems could not be fixed, but they could masked or we had to deal. Hmmm. So they gave us a credit. Okay. Except they screwed that up on the bill so we had to complain again. They ended up crediting us a fair amount. Although we had to fight for it. I would not willingly stay here again unless the price were much lower. It’s not worth the price to stay here.

Bring back the former TripAdvisor format. I loved the former TripAdvisor format, and I used it almost daily to find restaurants in the area in which I live, neighboring cities I go to frequently, and places I travel to on occasion. For the latter, I would also check out hotel ratings and places to see. I loved how well the restaurants were organized—by types of food (Italian, Mexican, Steakhouses, Seafood, etc.) to types of meals (breakfast, brunch, etc.) to moderately priced meals, to rating the #1 rated restaurant in the area to #2 and all the way down to the final restaurant in the area—with lists for both those regardless of food category and another that rated the food in a certain category. Also, choosing areas you might like were easier to find and more relevant than the new system. Why replace a winning and masterfully designed and well-organized website with a hodgepodge of listings that the viewer is not interested in wading through? Pleeeez bring back the former, beautifully designed website you had just days ago. And if you must, change the graphics only.

Frustrating. I’ve always loved TripAdvisor, but they’ve made so many changes to their app and website. For instance it’s completely unhelpful to search for hotels now, because you’re forced to fill in dates of travel, even if you don’t know yet which dates you’re traveling. If you enter dates many hotels won’t show up, as they have no availability, therefore it makes it impossible to research every hotel in a given city. Their search engine is also very frustrating now. Trying to search for a city is difficult as it auto fills certain areas for you. For instance, if I want to research Bologna Italy, I will use the search bar for “Bologna”, then it auto fills the location as “near me,” or maybe one of my last city searches. So I’ll get a restaurant or hotel with the word “Bologna” in it, but near my house. Just weird and so annoying. I wish there was a better website, but unfortunately we’re stuck with this one as it continues to get worse and worse. :(

Bead Waiter Review. On a recent trip to the Grand Serenis Riviera Maya in Cancún, Mexico we had a very good experience with all the staff we came in contact with. To mention one particular Head Waiter we had whose name is Aurelio, he went several extra miles in providing us with outstanding personal service. Glasses were never empty and his assistance with placing our food orders was imcomparable. Bell Boy, Juan Carmona, was second to none in providing personal attention. From the first time he picked us up in his golf cart to the last, he could not have given us any better personal service. He would stop and offer us rides whenever he saw us walking around the resort. Made us feel extremely special. Also Guest Services Manager, Giles Gautier was very helpful, knowledgeable and personable in assisting us with questions and resort amenities. This was a great place to stay because of the helpful and friendly staff.

Randles Hotel Review. My wife and I had a nice stay in Killarney at The Randles Hotel until the last night and morning. Our itinerary required us to be picked up by our driver at 0530 for the airport trip. We talked with a front desk person the afternoon prior to our early departure. She promised us (and made a notation in a book) that we could get coffee and something cold by the night porter at 0500 the next morning. With our luggage, we arrived at the dining room door at 0500 in search of coffee and something. We were not expecting hot food but they advertise 24 hour room service and we had the desk clerk’s promise. The night porter saw us from the room above and asked what we were doing. We explained our story. His response to our breakfast question was: “What, at 5 AM?”. I then returned to our room. My wife was later offered coffee alone. The porter apologized to me for the mix up but assured me it was not his fault. I told him it was not our fault. He was the hotel representative at that time and failed in his responsibility. I left with a bad impression after that interaction.

Something changed. This is my #1 go-to app but something changed. It is now less efficient to find restaurants, for example. Searching Nearby used to show a list but now it shows a map and arbitrarily selects a restaurant regardless of my preference. It takes several steps to hide the Trip Advisor selection and find just the simple list. Also, if searching in a particular city Trip Advisor adds another Nearby option but you know if I wanted Nearby I would have selected it instead of entering a specific location. And finally if I select one of the groupings ( for example local cuisine or moderately priced I now have to apparently select food types like Chinese or Italian whereas before I would just see the list and then filter if needed. I hate it when something changes so much I need to start using a different app. TA take notice.

The app with the best review options at the best Hotels. I write all my reviews from my heart and my own experience, I read a multitude of reviews before booking my night or in most cases several nights experience before i move onto the next best hotel experience. I’ll be honest as i always am, i use a multitude of apps beside TripAdvisor and I also utilize their booking systems which all vary with cancellation and pricing structures, but mostly on the best hotel availabilities in boutique, antique modern luxury and historical or novelty categories and Not on American or International run of the mill conglomerates with cookie cutter rooms and facilities. The Travel experience is far better off with apps like Trip Advisor that does just that, advise of your trip, hotel and sites to see, instead of the pomp and misleading brochure and chest beating advertising of the others.

Still doesn’t get basics right. Am one of Trip Advisors Top Contributers with 100,000+ readership and have been watching Trip Advisor updates for 5+ years now but I’m disappointed with the progress of the App and website over the years. It’s annoying that they still don’t get basics right for ex. if I submit a new place I don’t get a notification/email. As another example they continue to track history without permission or providing a way to edit/delete history (violating basic privacy laws and ignoring multiple user complaints). Yet another example is limiting restaurant reviews to 100 characters in the app. Not changing app orientation based on phone direction is another limitation. Instead of getting the basics right they have focused on useless things like the ridiculous number and type of badges and most recently trying to replace helpful votes with followers (and with a recent update I started getting feeds from N number of random sources even though I follow nobody).

La Gaviota Tropical. Playa Hermosa Costa Rica. It has taken me a couple of days to absorb my experience at La Gaviota tropical, if I had to describe paradise this would be it. certainly the nicest people, warm and accommodating Easy pace that made for a wonderful vacation. my passion is fishing and there was such a variety it was such a hard choiceTo decide between rooster fish , mahi-mahi or Marlin. the restaurant and food was superb. Every direction was yet another picture to be taken. I’m very tempted to move there once retired. I’d encourage any and all to go once to see and experience what I saw. I’d expect you’ll be like me planning to return. Thanks to Roberto and his wonderful staff, I told several that they may not know it but they live in paradise. Each a different character and each a big part of La Gaviota Tropical. Thanks to my new found friends, we’ll meet again. Signed Drew Robb.

Galway- our first stop. This was our first stop on our trip to Ireland, we traveled with our good friends. We were greeted at arrival and given a tour of the common areas and then on to our room. Rooms are very comfy and coming from the U.S. we like “moving air”, so I was so excited to see a fan in the room….it really is all about the little things in life!! Breakfast- you are given a paper with choices of juices, fruit, yogurt, homemade scones and Irish soda bread, eggs, meats, hash browns and “white pudding”. Pancakes and fruit and porridge served with Irish cream, delightful she said!!! Paul and Amy and little boy Ty are great host, they are very good at hospitality and making sure all your needs are met. They even arranged for a driver to take us onto our next stop so we didn’t have to take a train! Truly delightful. Thanks for a great home away from home. Texas Uhl’s

Dorothy Martin, Home 2 Suite, Hilton. Recently, I had the daunting task of driving by myself, from Florida to New England. As a disabled woman with acute spinal issues, a cat, and a lot of luggage, I proceeded north to New England. It was a bit harrowing. However, I had the good fortune of meeting Dorothy Martin who was working behind the front desk of Home2Suite in Queensbury, NY. If everyone at any hotel had the attitude and mindset of Dorothy Martin there would not be a hotel on the planet that would be unable to bump its rating off the chart. Short of standing on her ear, I don’t there is a thing Dorothy would not do to assist her guest. Stand up and take notice please. She has an unending work ethic, she is kind and knowledgeable. Dorothy would ask for help if needed (thought I doubt she would need help) another indicator of a wise employee. Please stand up and take note of this smart, talented, gregarious, customer oriented woman working a beautiful Hilton hotel. Thank You, Linda Stultz

Marietas Snorkel, Whale Watching, kayak and paddle board Boat #1. We went out in Boat #1 with Pablo. It was SO much fun! Booked this as an excursion with our cruise. The crew did a phenomenal job. They were professional and courteous, knowledgeable and ENTERTAINING. They filled the travel time with such entertaining dance and music routines. The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll comedy show was AWESOME. The snorkeling, paddle boards and kayak was very well done and organized. We were able to see some interesting fish and we saw several whales and birds along the way. The lunch was very good as well as the drinks from the open bar. I was also impressed with the professional photographer on board that captured our day on film. No pressure to buy but he did such good work, we couldn’t resist buying the flash drive of our day. I would do this trip again in a heartbeat - it was the highlight of our cruise. Be sure to ask for BOAT #1 and Pablo’s crew!

I use it daily to locate the best dining hotels, etc. An Example: my wife & I were driving home from Branson last week, decided to stop for lunch in Harris, Ark., opened trip advisor and searched for “Nearby” restaurants. We found Jessi’s and it was a hidden gem, would have never believed that a restaurant this good would be there. We then continued on and found an extremely good value hotel (Econo lodge) on the outskirts of Little Rock. We could tell from the Traveler reviews that this was a great place to stay the night, and it turned out to be true, absolutely. we then searched for for nearby restaurants, using “Cajun & Creole” dining offerings in the search filter. “Copeland’s came up , and it was wonderful. These examples are from just one day of several hundred days of traveling in the last three years. Trip adviser has been an essential part of our travels, and we’d be “travel dysfunctional” if we didn’t have it in the future.

Worst service at Reed Nissan Dealership in Claremont Orlando.. Arrived at this dealership at 7:50 am for an 8:00 am appointment to service my 2016 Titan XD truck. One other vehicle was there with me, doors open at 8:00 am and we both pulled forward. The service attendant took care of the other vehicle, 5 other vehicles pulled up behind that vehicle and 2 pulled up behind my truck. All the other vehicles were taken care of except me. I waited for 25 minutes and it was as though I was invisible. All the service agents walked pass me as though I wasn’t there. I had to go to the agent at the desk to ask if there was a problem with me? Am I in the wrong line. He looked at me and asked if he can help me. This is 2020 and very little has changed. This is the 3rd Nissan I owned. Two of them were purchased at this dealership. I will never purchase another Nissan and will not recommend or return to this dealership. It gets very frustrating when you work in the Hostital industry and you train employees in great customer service and you go to another industry and you are treated like crap. All they do is take your money and wish they never see you again.

Constant use. This is an update of my review reflected below. We constantly use this when we travel and for restaurants in our home area. We still think this app is very good and easy to use. One of the keys is that we find the latest places are included . However one of my pet peeves is still there. Reviews no matter how old. Are still reflected. A review over 12-15 months old does not seem to be current enough to matter. Things change, people leave, corrections are made . We use this in our travels primarily for restaurants and places to stay. Glad we see the good bad and ugly. However reviews should be purged after 12-15 months to keep out the old ratings. Have seen reviews going back to 2008 which makes no sense due to being relevant This has been my review for couple years. Need to purge old reviews as they have zero meaning as out of date. Today actually saw a review for 2007

Very useful for travel. I like access to menus when looking for restaurants and if the place requires me to sign in to Facebook, I will NOT. Some people don’t even use it and there are many warnings not to sign in to FB except to use it. Restaurants should be advised they may be losing business because of this. Having the menu link on the Trip Advisor is best, but a link to the website is ok. Many domains are for sale which makes one question if they are still in business. If a place does go out of business, they should let TA know. The more details given for a hotel, restaurant or attraction, the better, but information should be up to date. Hours open, price and directions are helpful. I appreciate when a hotel listing shows restaurants nearby. Trip Advisor should be aware if they stop advertising or boycott a place or TV program, they run the risk of losing customers—maybe more than they gain. Stick to travel and stay out of politics.

Bermuda is open!. Wonderful golf and restaurants this time of year. Perfect weather. A little chilly for beach swimming unless you are used to NY/NE water temps in Summer (67). The Health Dept has a solid handle on covid testing. And they are very efficient about returning results within 24 hours. Usually 12 and can be as short as 8. The tests are pre arrival, upon arrival, day 4, day 8 and day 14. Paper bracelet identifies you as a recent traveler but also acts as a reminder to follow safety requirements. Though no indoor dining until after Day 4 results, there are plenty of restaurants with outdoor seating with heaters even though the nighttime temp in Dec and Jan is around 68. It’s not like a sidewalk in Manhattan with a temp of 32. Pleasantly surprised and delighted with the ease of traveling here. Probably not worth it for a long weekend. Definitely worth it for a week or longer. Frankly you need a week to get to some of the many things to do. Recommend it highly.

Horrible! Don’t Use!!. First, there are problems logging into the app. You have to prove you’re not a robot over and over again. Also, once you are logged in you don’t know it because there’s not any confirmation or landing page. Instead, after a successful login you are taken back to the login page which causes you to think that you were unsuccessful. What a mess!! I booked three tours for one day. Without asking or even giving a reason, TripAdvisor took it upon themselves to cancel one of my tours and change the time of the second tour. When I arrived at checkin to get my ticket I was informed that the tour was in Hebrew, which I do NOT speak. Because this was only an hour before the app advised that I would not be refunded. When I tried to look for a customer service phone number, I found that none were listed. All I could do was email a complaint which in turn I received an email back stating that my problem would be looked into within 3 to 5 DAYS!!! What a waste!!! I can only hope that at this evening’s planned event I will not have any problem getting my ticket!!
