9008799468?profile=originalIn 2013 it's hardly news that that dining options in big luxury hotels have for the most part evolved way beyond the good-quality-but-bland fare of yore, with high-profile marquis restaurants showcasing some of the world’s top chefs. But in my experience, few offer a culinary experience so cozy, intimate, and downright romantic as downtown Miami’s Trapiche Room. The fine-dining star of the four eating/drinking venues at the 274-unit, Four-Diamond JW Marriott Hotel on downtown’s premier business

I met a woman and her husband in the airport recently, while we were waiting to board our flight out of Costa Rica. They were tanned and relaxed, and had been enjoying the country's beaches and rainforest … all for free! They had won a work contest to sell the most furniture for their company and earned the free incentive trip. This was actually the couple's second year in a row to win – last year they went on a cruise to Mexico.

This is pretty ingenious – sell a lot of products for your company,

Reviews do matter. A report by SAS noted that positive reviews (less so TripAdvisor-based rank and brand), followed by lower price were the most important influencers of choice.

And lower price or higher ratings don't overcome the impact of negative reviews.

But even in America, it's possible that more isn't better.

Writing reviews is almost a national pastime.  Writing reviews on everything and saying pretty much what we want and being rewarded by some sort of badge or other "atta boy" reco

Here's a (non-exhaustive) sampling from across the world (and keep in mind, for

Era una mañana un tanto calurosa en el Parque Nacional Manuel Antonio. Acababa de visitar los predios de la zona y la humedad del ambiente pudo más que yo. Me dispuse a retomar el aliento sobre una de las bancas. Mientras descansaba bajo la sombra y sentía la brisa del mar, me percaté de que tenía hambre. Recordé que después de salir de Portasol había comprado dos paquetes de tortillas tostadas y las llevaba en la mochila.

El ir y venir de las olas me arrulló exquisitam

Taxi boat from Jaco to Montezuma on the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa RicaAlthough it is one of Costa Rica's most spectacular destinations – for its gold and white sand beaches, world-class surfing, warm blue Pacific Ocean, and lush rainforest – the southern Nicoya Peninsula stays off the beaten tourist path. The reason is the region's remote location.

Going by ferry is the traditional way to get to the towns and beaches of the southern Nicoya Peninsula – Tambor, Montezuma, Mal Pais and Santa Teresa. The ferry leaves from the Central Pacific port of Puntarenas, and tak
