Most recent personal bad experiences in our restaurants – in addition, had guest which also made it embarrassing:

Coco Reef – Deck furniture is garbage
Flanagan’s – bad service
Beau Rivage – New Stead – bad service

Our prices require that service be outstanding.

C’mon Man!

WTF

I applaud the BTA for being excited about new individuals coming to Bermuda, while downplaying the fact that less people in total are in fact coming here.

The BTA has frquently produced stats and news releases stating there are ‘spikes’ in various segments and bookings are up, thereby ‘proving’ things are on the right track and their marketing is working.

However, the statistic that counts..air arrivals… has been in continuous decline. The BTA ‘blames’ the decline in air arrivals on factors which are out of their control.

It seems they are quick to take credit for any ‘good’ news….but blames the ‘bad’ news on everyone and everything else, but them.

Gotta love it.

Down gullible throats . When something ‘spikes’in this case ,it means serious inconsistencies . What are we consistently paying for ? Inconsistent results from the experts . Get the flock outta here with your BS .

It is clearly an attempt to justify their existence at the taxpayers expense.
Where are the important statistics?

Bermuda
300 rooms * $350 no food in price = $105000 :(

Jamaica
300 rooms * $150 all inclusive = $45000 :)

The Shareholders will send the corporation to the least expensive destination.
