Probably not. This group tends to be oriented more toward places than
hotels. Generally speaking the difference between one upscale resort and
another isn't enough to worry about. Generally about the only time we hear
about resorts here is when someone had an experience that made them mad. As
I recall the last complaint of that sort was someone unhappy because an
entertainer had made an uncomplimentary remark about our idiot president.
Valid complaints because there was a serious mismatch between the price paid
and the quality of the accommodations are relatively rare here. If you don't
get the experience you expected you'll know to use a different travel agent
next time. I suspect that most of the folks here are the sort that do some
research, pick a spot on the map, and go.

Is it just me or does not going somewhere because of luggage problems
seem kinda backwards? The stuff I take with me is intended to help me
travel, not hinder me. You probably could have made arrangements for your
hotel to store your extra luggage for you.
