I have a very difficult time taking that claim seriously. In addition to the fact that nearly 60% of the reviews are from people who have posted only 1 review, the vast majority of those reviews were voted helpful. It's simply not possible. For what it's worth, I think you're doing yourself a tremendous disservice. I would be willing to gamble on a new property with only a handful of glowing reviews from real people, but the presence of conspicuously fake reviews is a very big red flag. Indeed, I was on the verge of booking a stay at Secret Bay when it came to my attention and I have since decided to stay elsewhere.
I don't have any real desire to engage in a public dispute about the veracity of the reviews, but the facts are what they are, and they appear to show the reviews are not real. Frankly, I'm more disappointed than I am upset about it.
Re: Kage, I suppose it could be Ogilvy's doing, but I would think they'd know better.
