Why We're Different
What's wrong with many existing online travel information websites?
- They provides too much information (listing every possible place to stay and eat and every possible activity) or,
- The information is "tainted" by the lack of objectivity. "Featured" properties or restaurants are often featured because they paid to be featured, not becausethey are particularly good, or
- The information is provided by the property or restaurant itself so is self-serving and not always accurate. Who is going to describe their own place negatively?
How Are We Different?
BestWeekends takes all the guesswork out of planning a perfect weekend getaway.
- Hundreds of hours of research.
- Thousands of miles traveled.
- Live in each Destination.
- Interview the locals.
- Travel anonymously.
- We accept no advertising or compensation from the places we recommend.
All of the above combines to provide the absolute best destination profiles available today. We painstakingly research each destination and then we go and live there for a while. We compare what the research said to our own experience; we stay in the properties, we eat in the restaurants and we take the tours. We talk to people who live there; to innkeepers, storeowners, waitresses and bartenders. We find the best places to go and the best things to do from the local's perspective.
