Yah understand your sentiments. But Ive been to caresse and in fact started the master thread for that property back in 2015 when it just opened. As you can see on post # 1, # 13, and # 15 on the Caresse thread, I had the best of best times.

So who would I believe more? Other people's opinions of Caresse or my very own experience?
Would you let other people's opinions of a hotel/airline affect your judgment even though you had a great experience on that airline or property?








As for the 50 euro difference. All my travels, accumulation of elite statuses from airlines and hotels are from the get go, my own money. As I never flew on biz trips but have always been a purely leisure traveller. So of course every euro counts! Little things here and there do add up. A 50 euro savings on day 1 can turn into a 750 euro savings on a 15 day trip. That's enough to pay 2/3rds of my biz class ticket return on QR from where I live in Asia to Istanbul

Lastly, I was in Turkey May and June of this year. It was expensive (for me at least) but all my tours/excursions had been private. But I'm glad I did it for peace of mind and not feeling anxious if I test positive at some country and end up being stucked there for 2 weeks. As an example, was in Kekova Antalya on a private boat ride. All the group excursion boat rides were full of tourists, not wearing masks etc. Didn't feel safe to me as I'm only partially vaccinated.

Anyways, I'm glad that you laughing at me or my way of thinking about the pandemic and my limited budget made your day.



Private (safe/social distancing/your own bubble)

Public (crowded/ no masks/no social distancing)
