Annie,
I will have to jump to Steve's defence on this one. Steve was airing his opinion that he had never had a problem and that he was very surprised to hear that you had such a bad experience. You must admit that if a person logs onto a review forum for the first time, posts two good reports about establishments and then rubbishes another establishment it may look a but suspect. And to add to the suspicion you never logged back in to argue your corner, which as time passed made the comments look even more sceptical.
In my experience on this site, which come to think of it is just about a years worth now, Steve has never been anything but fair in his comments, that is one of the main reasons this site is non-commercialised, to prevent unfairness.
I too had a bad experience in a very reputable establishment (Coco Reef) and I posted my views. And even though they were treated with surprise by most they had to be posted. But you must back up your initial post by follow-up to the responses it receives. By not backing it up you are leaving yourself open to the scepticism that we have witnessed here.
I think most people will agree that when you log onto this forum once, you end up logging on at least once a day so I am amazed that it has taken you a couple of months to check in again. Your resistance to the 'MyTobago Syndrome' is phenomenol and if you could bottle it I know my wife for one would buy some off you
As you said everyone is entitled to their opinions, but remember that includes Steve!!
