This is very true.
As well, my BFF has worked in travel for years and she advises that not all countries 4 stars are the same.
A 4 star in Cuba is a 3 star in Barbados. I don't know why this is rated this way but compare amenities and read, read, read reviews
I like to look at the traveller pictures on Tripadvisor (not the promo ones posted by the resort itself) and do a little detective work from them
If the resort advertises a calm peaceful adult pool but the majority of the travellers photos show it crowded and full of partiers then this might not be true LOL
I always look at the beach photos too because if the travellers photos mirror the promotional ones then I know at least the beach is decent
I don't always trust the written reviews because I know they can be manipulated easier
Just make sure you book at least a 4 star, you don't want anything less.
