Re: Taino Beach Vacation Club (by Redd W.):

<Maybe Redweek could work a deal to use Tripadvisor's member comments for the time being. It could probably be worked out that you would never even know that you were on the Tripadvisor page. I do not think that Redweek competes directly with them, do you?.

The Taino Beach Resort as mentioned above has 44 traveler reviews on Tripadvisor.>

Hi again, Terry! Yes, maybe, but doubtful. Trip Advisor has built itself quite the name as the "Beast" to be reckoned with in the travel game and it has done so by attracting so much feedback, good and bad, from "members". However, these "members" often reveal themselves to be only travel imposters after a few hateful postings or reviews. After a while you can separate the fake postings from the actual experiences. Regarding the Taino Beach Vacation Club, and the 44 reviews that you noted as being posted on Trip Advisor, only 2 that I noticed were of recent vintage, and these were lacking much useful information on which to consider an exchange. Many " reviews " were apparently written about a Resort of the same name that has since been torn down! Trip Advisor is actually part of the Expedia.com organization, I believe, and it is interesting that the Taino is not mentioned at all on Expedia.com Travel Packages to the Bahamas. I don't know what to make of that! One very good thing that I noted about The Taino, however, was that in all the descriptions of the available "exchanges", the term "non-smoking" was included and I like that very much! My bags are packed! Oh, and as a "PS".... I should have noted that the Taino Website also is lacking any details whatsoever about the room accomodations. Some great photos are posted there, however, and there is mention of a "lazy-river", a restaurant, and other amenities, and it certainly looks like it has a beach on-site, at least if the photos are true!
