An owner of a hotel in Spain told me that she thought TripAdvisor can be used as a weapon against a fair-minded hotel. I agreed, but also said that for a traveler like me, it is all I have to bargain with when I get an unfair hotel or below-average service. But it is not uncommon in talking to owners... More

I travel frequently in Costa Rica, and never have I stayed in a worse hotel. The website makes it look attractive and describes it as "near" the beach.
