The best resource I have found for trip reports is the Ambassador FB group (and other groups). The biggest problem with FlyerTalk is how niche it is. As traffic for the site decreases, so too are the trip reports and data points. Also, I’m not the one that called them tiny but it’s pretty subjective.
Is there a link to this Ambassador group that you can share? Is it a private group?
I guess I fit the profile of a FT traveler so that's why I like reviews from my fellow members.
I haven't looked at site traffic to FT but in my experience I'm seeing robust participation from existing members and new sign ups as well. I attribute less trip reports to people currently traveling less but hopefully that will be picking up now and we'll get more reviews.
Regarding calling the Ritz villas tiny, there was nowhere I stated that you said it. My point was that this statement was inaccurate and if that's the case I don't know what else is not accurate in that review. I personally wouldn't even call them tiny when comparing them to the JJA at STR. Yes, it's significantly smaller than JJA, but it's still not the definition of tiny. To me it's all about nuance. FWIW, people aren't even calling the villas at LM tiny and they are a heck of a lot smaller than the RC villas.
(And if you'd like to have the last word here as well you certainly can
