That's because when you are ticked off you are more likely to want to shout it to the world then when you've had a good time so I wouldn't worry about those, your honeymoon will be fabulous. I read one review for our hotel where the people were upset b/c they didn't have any balcony furniture... after reading the full review I found out they got drunk and broke the balcony furniture on the first night and the hotel refused to replaced it until they paid for it and the refused to pay for it b/c they said it was cheap and should have broken even though they apparently fell on it in their drunken stupor or the people who got a fly in their room while leaving the balcony door and screen door open,really?? Now how are these the hotel's fault! People are crazy!Nathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09857362957770984026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1878885351215442649.post-86500950681679450632009-08-04T17:43:55.485-04:002009-08-04T17:43:55.485-04:00I'm a review FREAK!

Like so many have already said, people who have a crappy time always review whereas people who have an OK or great time tend to not review as much. The best thing to do is look at what they are criticizing. Is it something they could have controlled or is it something that is out of their hands? A lot of people will complain about things they could have controlled, but they don't see it that wasy.<br /><br />By the way, be glad you can actually stalk reviews of your honeymoon location. My FI is keeping our location a secret from me and it is KILLING me! I can't read any reviews, and for a review freak, the next 10 or so months are going to be torture.Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204887268153833182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1878885351215442649.post-88970893308553543072009-08-04T14:01:59.908-04:002009-08-04T14:01:59.908-04:00I too am a Trip Advisor stalker.

I've read people complaining about the sheets at 5 star hotel saying they expected higher thread count. <br />You will have a lovely time don't fret and stop reading the reviews!Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02363757619601724418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1878885351215442649.post-31757386012779508592009-08-04T12:18:58.230-04:002009-08-04T12:18:58.230-04:00awww, you have to remember the comments are people...awww, you have to remember the comments are people's oppinions.

I totally love that site and I have been stal...Yes! I totally love that site and I have been stalking it for months.<br />Here is my 2cents:<br />Don't worry too much about all the negative people. My fiance pointed out once that the people who tend to go online tend to be the "worst of the worst". Meaning...if you are sick and you are looking online for other sick people....they people who often take the time to write are the sickest...and if you just read thier take, you will get freaked. Same for vacations. We went to vegas last year adn ALL these people were talking about the construction and how it ruined everything. It was totally NOT a big deal at all. Once again...like my fiance said...it's the complainers that post the more.<br />You know that freind who is never happy...who has the highests standards? When you read a post saying "the food was terrible and the room was dirty" Just consider that it may be a person like that...someone who is ridiculous. Take it all with a grain of salt. If you are a half-way easy to please person...then I bet 75% of the complaints you will find are really just silly. <br />I bet everything will ber PERFECT!!!!!Cheap Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00737705946633875864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1878885351215442649.post-74909114158068282272009-08-04T11:50:33.779-04:002009-08-04T11:50:33.779-04:00ohh i read back in your posts..the Marriott! my fr...ohh i read back in your posts..the Marriott! my friends went there for their honeymoon and absolutely LOVED it... hope that helps! and you did a registry right? for the Marriott? that should help!! have a blast!!sooo jealous! i love it down there!The Southbay Newlywedshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07616663201108196798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1878885351215442649.post-4061095615964467342009-08-04T11:47:45.214-04:002009-08-04T11:47:45.214-04:00What place are you staying at?
