Without having been to the others, wildlife photographers etc I've spoken to - agree that Ranthambore is not the premier tiger destination.
When spending many hours and many thousands of dollars to visit tiger country, it's of paramount importance to see a Tiger, don't you think?

Given that the property/property service/guides are all packaged up at the top tiger resorts, I'd be happy to "sacrifice" a slight reduction in service/room quality for a better shot at a better wildlife experience.

With the Oberoi or Taj properties, you're not giving up a lot, either (if anything.)

But maybe that's just me.
