I'd rather read users comments online and see all the pictures for myself than book blindly with a travel agent. I've done the travel agent route a few times before also and been ripped off. You got to be vigilant no matter which route you take

You are correct, for many tropical locations you need to subtract 1-1.5 stars from the rating you see. Big thng to remember is that a5+ star in Canada isnt the same as Mexico, Dominican or Cuban standards.

I did cuba in january for a 5* (knowing Cuban 5* is not the rest of the world 5*) through selloffvacations.com. I've been to cuba before and knew what to expect food and service wise, just wasnt't expecting sunwing to screw up the flight both ways. Mechanical issues before we left, mechanical issues on the way home. Last time I fly with them.

what happen to me is that they're advertising a hotel on their website as 5 stars.

so i bought it cuz it was five star, then when they send me my confirmation (after i paid) it says its only 4 stars.

they are knowingly advertising made up ratings to mislead customers
