New York

Sporting undoctored photos taken by staff that actually travel to each site, this just-launched hotel reviewer offers brief but comprehensive lowdowns on room & board in and around the Caribbean, including Aruba, the DR, Jamaica, and Miami. Each review covers basic features (Internet service, pool, spa, etc), pros/cons (large rooms, no party scene on-site...), a brief bottom line, and a rating from zero to five pearls -- disturbingly, the same rating you give sites whose photos are heavily doctored.
