Camping On The Gulf Holiday Travel Park
Dec 13, 2008 by steve from Hudsonville

Overall Rating: 8

• Great staff, friendly,clean park.
• Quite costly.

“We stay here every spring (early April) for a week for many years now and really like this park. Great location, beach walks, close to malls, visit Blue Angels (1 hour away), lots to do and see or just relax. We are going back in spring 2009.”

Twin Lakes Travel Park
Dec 10, 2008 by travelman1 from ogunquit,me.

Overall Rating: 10

• Large spaces and great pool area.
• Nothing.

“Best park in the area. The spaces are large unlike others that are on top of each other. Also near a lot of attractions like the Hardrock hotel and casino.”

Pebble Creek Golf Club
Nov 24, 2008 by Hidden Acres from Tampa

Overall Rating: 10

• A pleasure to play.
• A little short but plays much longer.

“Talk about value. I've played this course in past years and I have to say it was the best I've ever seen it. The greens were great, the fairways are beautiful and new bunkers! Had fun in the Irish Pub and no doubt the friendliest staff I have ever seen at a golf course. It's obvious the new management knows what they're doing.”

Disney World
Nov 17, 2008 by Liz from Sacramento

Overall Rating: 9

• The friendly and helpful staff.
• The crowd. It was a holiday weekend.

“We had such a blast at Disney World. We wanted a special treat for the kids and decided to stay at.”

Nelsons Fishcamp
Nov 11, 2008 by jimmy from pendleton In

Overall Rating: 10

• Wonderful place for the whole family.
• Nothing.

“One of the most beautiful places in Florida. When I was 14 my family took a trip to Nelsons fish camp, I know it says fish camp but this place is amazing. This is where I caught my first 8lb largemouth. I will never forget being in the boat with my grandpa and my father. Those Bass love Shiners, the river is so peaceful its as if Monet is painting every bend of the beautiful Oklawaha River shimmering with wild life. My grandmother and grandfather were snow birds they would come and stay for the winter. My father, mother, my sister and I could not wait to get there. It's a quiet place, safe for the whole family. I would encourage anyone to take their family there. In this world of video games and home entertainment a child could easily loose the wonder of mother nature. I employ you to take your children here for the time of their lives, I am now 37 and I plan on taking my son as soon as I get the chance. thank you, I'll never forget the fond memories.”

Disney World
Nov 1, 2008 by Ken from Moose Jaw

Overall Rating: 10

• Disney staff handled people better than we expected, and very clean.
• Line ups were as long as 2 hours for some rides.

“Best vacation destination for families that we have ever experienced! Disney provides families with more options for entertainment than can be provided anywhere else. Great for all age groups!”

Helen Ellis Memorial Hospital
Oct 21, 2008 by Sherri

Overall Rating: 2

• Doctor and assistant nice and friendly.
• Very expensive band aid.

“September 2008 My 16 month old grandson was scratched in the face by a cat. The walk-in clinic sent us to ER at Helen Ellis. Four or five hours later a very nice friendly doctor and his assistant cleaned the scratch and put a band aid on it. The hospital charged $453.10. The doctor's bill for $285.00 came a month later. The total charge for this service $738.10. Since the grandson is not insured there is a 20% discount on doctor bill ($57.00)! So now total bill for thorough cleaning and band aid with no insurance $681.00. When I called to complain to the hospital about the charges I was told $453.10 is the basic charge for presenting yourself in the emergency room.”

Gator Motel
Oct 17, 2008 by Pat from U.K.

Overall Rating: 9

• Clean, quite and anything you need in your room, (You feel home away from home) at affordable cost.
• New clean swimming pool needs heating facility.

“We could not believe what we found at that small motel, very clean rooms, very good hospitality by management, very quite & safe place.”

Searstown Mall 10
Oct 12, 2008 by Nicholas from Titusville

Overall Rating: 6

• The great service.
• Theater was so small that they couldn't play all the movies.

“This movie theater is the smallest theater I've ever been to.”

Live Oak Bowling Center Inc
Oct 9, 2008 by Suzannah from Lake City

Overall Rating: 1

• Could be a really fun place for families.
• Staff yells at children and very rude.

“Do not take children here, they are not welcome. My friend and I took our girls to the alley on a Thursday morning. We were almost the only ones there. The girls each crossed the line once and were very rudely yelled at. Once the rules were explained, they did not do it again. The two ladies running the place continued to yell at each other and our children until we left. One lady even informed us that this is not a playground. The girls were not bothering anyone, hurting anything or causing any problems. They were simply acting like almost 3 year olds. I have never been treated so rudely at a family friendly establishment. If you do not allow children, thats fine, just put a sign on the door stating that. My fried planned on having a birthday party there. If 2 little girls bring those women to screaming, what would 8 children do to them? I called back later to voice a complaint to the manager, who apparently is the rudest of the two, and she insulted me and my parenting. She also said that children were welcome if the parents could control them and have raised them right, which she told me I have not. She then hung up on me after she yelled and insulted me some more. We will never set foot in that place again, because apparently you have to be a senior citizen and a miserable person to bowl there.”

Greenacres Bowling Center
Oct 7, 2008 by Larry from West Palm Beach

Overall Rating: 1

• The Pro shop is great.
• The lanes are terrible.

“This place is not maintained at all. There are repeated ball calls. The floors are always dirty. The AC seems to not work at times as it is hot as you walk in the front door. The lane condition only favors those who throw the ball an average of 16mph. The snack bar staff was very rude all the time and actually say this is not Burger King, we do it our way if you don't like it go somewhere else. The manager is not very friendly. If you ask me I would just drive up the road a bit to Don Carters Lake Worth. I hear they are putting a lot of money into the center and it will be state of the art place eventually. Just my opinion.”

Happy Traveler R V Park
Oct 1, 2008 by olin from troy, mi

Overall Rating: 9

• Loved the activities.
• Showers need updating.

“Great friendly travel park. Many wonderful activities during winter season. Weekly dinner and Saturday breakfast was great value for money. Well maintained area with 2 shower/laundry facilities. Lots were wide enough to accommodate larger coaches. Shopping area within 1,000 feet of site. Great weekend flea market across the street.”

Busch Gardens/Adventure Island
Sep 29, 2008 by Jasmine from Miami

Overall Rating: 9

• The roller coaster!
• Nothing.

“Busch Gardens is one the best theme parks! If you don't like awesome roller coasters and animals and cool shows, why do you even bother going on vacation? Busch Gardens rocks! The mount is defiantly awesome, along with all of the other roller coasters. No where else has as many roller coasters, so if you're in Tampa, make sure to check it out.”

Capone's Dinner & Show
Sep 28, 2008 by Steve from Grimsby

Overall Rating: 1

• The exit.
• Everything.

“Appalling.”

Wildlife on Easy Street/Big Cat Rescue
Sep 27, 2008 by nicole from land o lakes

Overall Rating: 5

• Lions were huge.
• Dirty and a lot of domestic cats.

“I thought it was not that great. The cats were huge though that was something to see. The place was kind of dirty and there were a lot of domestic cats running around. If you like cats go but if not its not a good place to go.”

Wekiva Falls Park
Sep 2, 2008 by JIM DAVIS from MANCHESTER TENN.

Overall Rating: 1

• When I drove off the property.
• The filthy mouthed manager.

“The place is old fish camp!”

Stage Stop Campground
Aug 24, 2008 by C.Csson from patterson GA

Overall Rating: 9

• Grate staff that make you feel like you are home.
• Rain every day.

“Our family visited the Campground on 8/18/2008. From the time we got to the Campground, the staff was very nice & very helpful. The Campground is kept very nice and clean the grass was real nice. This campground made us feel like we were at home. It has a very country feel in a large city. We enjoyed to set out side every afternoon and take in the beautiful seems. We were very closes to all big attractions and shopping was very closes Winter Garden also as a very nice big out side mall. We are going back on our next vacation very close to big attractions.”

Wekiva Falls Park
Aug 6, 2008 by Glen martin from manchester, tenn

Overall Rating: 1

• I liked it when I left.
• The place is a big sewer.

“A complete drunken employees, the swimming area is a retention pond with a sewer draining running from just outside the entrance got to the swimming area so the swimming area becomes a retention pond for god knows what drains out of the cattle field an the water in the swimming area turns black from the water from the drainage running into it! Electric installed in 1972 an will burn out modern equipment. Open use of drugs around the swimming area the place is just a run down fish camp!”

Manatee Memorial Hospital
Aug 2, 2008 by Carol from Bradenton

Overall Rating: 1

• The first person we met was nice.
• Lobby a mess, rest rooms sloppy, nursing care once back in the rooms was deplorable.

“Well bad night, people make mistakes. Now tonight we bring my 2 year old grandson to ER. Inner ear infection, crying in pain. After 3 hours. We told her we were informed to come here from him. They had put us in a room with two chairs, no table for the baby. He ran around and 3 times tried to stick his fingers in the red light sockets. When I said something to the nurse about making those rooms baby safe, I got a nasty look and she turned and walked away. The hospital lacks the basic safety needs for the patients. I think we will drive past MMH and go to St. Pete's children hosp from now on.”

Mosi
Jul 10, 2008 by Lisa

Overall Rating: 9

• Great exhibits. Friendly workers, fun for kids.
• Nothing!

“The museum was great! The hire wire bike and hurricane machine were such a thrill. Kids in charge was so much fun for the kids and they learned along the way. The IMAX and Planetarium were also great. We loved it so much that we are now members!”

Winter Haven Hospital
Jun 29, 2008 by Barbara from Haines City

Overall Rating: 1

• There were a few nice nurses.
• Prescribed meds I can not take, slapped by one nurse. Told I had to hold it when I said I had to use the bathroom.

“For the most part the staff was uncaring and even cruel at times. I will never go there again. I am going to file a lawsuit against them for their treatment of me.”

Florida Hospital Heartland
Jun 29, 2008 by JUDY from Avon Park

Overall Rating: 1

• You can drive by to reach High Land hospital.
• More comments then room!

“They bury they mistakes at this hospital. When they can get to you! Be prepared to wait even unto death!”

Sleuths Mystery Dinner Show
Jun 5, 2008 by rctraveler from rapid city, sd

Overall Rating: 9

• They keep the wine and beer flowing, the food was great, and the show was uproariously funny.
• They automatically put ranch dressing on the salads, which I don't care for.

“The show was fabulous, the food was (mostly) great, and the overall experience was one of the best I've had in Orlando!”

Ginnie Spring Outdoors LLC
Jun 2, 2008 by Ashleigh from Ocala

Overall Rating: 4

• Beautiful River.
• Naughty Party Animals.

“This was a beautiful place but the campers are naughty! Extreme foul language while river floating, in the echoing restrooms, in the springs. Everywhere! Not just on occasion either, it's all the time. People announcing when they are to urinate in the Spring.”

Fort Gatlin Recreational Park
May 24, 2008 by natalie banton from brooklyn

Overall Rating: 10

• Staff is friendly and very helpful.
• Need more chairs in park for small rest stops.

“My family and I had a wonderful time at Disney world we visited august 2007 stayed at the Caribbean Beach Resort all inclusive I loved it the children loved it staff is very friendly and wonder full I would recommend this vacation for all families its a dream to remember I love Disney world.”

Stoneybrook Golf Club Inc
May 24, 2008 by Steve from Durham

Overall Rating: 8

• Excellent course layout.
• None.

“Friendly welcome by the club house staff, course in very good condition. Being a 20 handicap player I found the course layout testing but not too difficult. The water is mostly a problem with a really bad shot. The layout of the course is excellent. I would definitely recommend everyone.”

Town And Country Rv Resort
May 18, 2008 by Anne from Sanford and Ocala

Overall Rating: 8

• Away from the I-4 fray, wooded lots, friendly staff and residents, reasonably priced.
• Could be better maintained.

“This is not your manicured RV park; It has a lot of general landscaping and clean up, which could be improved on and would add to the aesthetics of the park. The office and support staff have a positive attitude, and the majority of residents are laid back, accepting, and helpful. The park feels like it is tucked away in the woods, yet you are just minutes from all manner of dining and shopping options. I've been here for months and I love it!”

Winter Haven Hospital
May 16, 2008 by Barbara from Winter Haven

Overall Rating: 1

• Nothing.
• Little concern for my care, dirty, slow.

“Went to the Emergency room today via ambulance. Was four hours before I was seen and 9 hours before I left. There was a catheter needle on the floor beside the bed. When I pointed it out to the nurse (who was very scarce the whole time), he looked at it, said "Oh" and walked back out. I feel I got rushed treatment even though it was 9 hours, and I was told I had a kidney infection; I went in after a fall and because of the pain, but was given no prescription for the kidney infection. There was trash of all sorts on the floor, beside the bed, under the bed, and desk/counter. It will be my last visit to this hospital, and I've been going there for over 53 years1.”

Pirate's Dinner Adventure
May 10, 2008 by Ashley from Melbourne

Overall Rating: 1

• Nothing.
• Terrible food, overpriced.

“Let me start out by saying that I enjoyed king Henrys feast, as well as medieval times. The food was terrible. There was condensed soup, a bag of lettuce, icy ice-cream, the worst dry chicken with no sauce, and what seemed to be instant potatoes.”

Fiesta Bowl
May 9, 2008 by Bob from Port Richey

Overall Rating: 8

• Clean, well lit and lanes and equipment are well maintained.
• Not much room behind settee area with tables & chairs.

“Extremely clean and well maintained bowling alley. Lane conditions are fair and consistent. Machine breakdowns are rare. Area behind bowlers seating is somewhat cluttered with chairs and tables. No Pro Shop. Snack bar is a little pricey and slow (cook to order). Staff is friendly.”

WonderWorks
Apr 13, 2008 by Tracy from COlorado Springs

Overall Rating: 10

• We love this place.
• Pizza is too crusty, could be a little less expensive but ok.

“Wonderworks is always a part of our trip when we come to Orlando. The kids (10, 7, & 7) have a blast here, and I must admit so do my husband and I. We all enjoy the hands on exhibits and the magic show is fun. The pizza is not the best but it is arcade pizza after all. Good value for the money and will def. be back over and over again.”

WonderWorks
Apr 4, 2008 by Jim from Pensacola

Overall Rating: 9

• Pizza is no-frills, but still good.

“There are some game machines in the corner so grownups can eat more or less in peace while the kids romp. Exhibits are interactive and very fun without always getting hit for a ding more $. Smooth elevators between the floors, or take stairs with a lot of MC Escher and other optical illusion art works available for sale in the Emporium, of course. Many computer stations where you can estimate your real age. Emporium thankfully does not stock either generic Florida souvenirs or "WW-Themed" only, and is also competitively priced. Science toys, magic props and kits, Jelly Bellies, Archie McPhee stuff, candy, buttons, stickers, kids stuff, purses and packs. And the ubiquitous umbrellas and rain ponchos. Third floor laser tag was fun. Doesnt hurt like getting splatter with paintballs. Lots of games with prizes, about what you'd expect from any prize counter- nothing really worth it but the kids like it. Highly recommend the combo package of dinner show, laser tag, and wonderworks itself.”

Pirate's Dinner Adventure
Mar 30, 2008 by Don from Muncie

Overall Rating: 1

• Leaving.
• The show, the food.

“The show was not entertaining and nothing like it was advertised. I think that "Pirate" movie's have made the show something we want to see; however, the show did not live up to the expectations. There was no true race between pirates. It was of poor quality. I would encourage people to see other shows before going to the Pirate's Dinner Adventure.”

Summerfield Golf Club Inc
Mar 19, 2008 by Keith from Riverview

Overall Rating: 3

• It is a well maintained course.
• Being rushed to the point of nagging.

“If you are not tiger woods and can not play 9 holes in a group of 4 in fewer than 2 hours DO NOT go to this course. The golf attendant was nipping at our foursomes heels halfway through and did not stop. He made it extremely unpleasant which was unfortunate because my father was visiting. "You didn't rent the course," he told us after we informed him that after the money we paid we were going to enjoy our day. It's very unfortunate because it is a nice course. But, if you don't like being hassled if you are not very good don't bother booking a tee time.”

Hammondell Campground
Mar 16, 2008 by Lu from Terryville

Overall Rating: 10

• Staff was helpful and activities planned nicely.
• Didn't find negative feedback.

“My family has stayed here a few times now and feels very comfortable. Clean park, friendly staff, pool is kept nice. We walked around many times and the families that stay year round are very friendly and family like. Definitely a good place to go when you need quiet from all the park drama.”

Ginnie Spring Outdoors LLC
Mar 15, 2008 by Danielle from Spring Hill, FL

Overall Rating: 9

• Campsites right on the river.
• No TV anymore.

“I absolutely love Ginnie Springs. It's our favorite place to go camping! Our favorite part is camping right on the river and tubing all day long and docking right at our campsite. They have a huge general store and little cafe and High Springs is such a cute town to explore! I definitely recommend Ginnie Springs to all ages who want to have a good time!”

Hurricane Lanes
Mar 11, 2008 by robyn from defuniak springs, florida

Overall Rating: 2

• In Destin.
• Poor management in every respect.

“Filthy bathrooms, most employees are quitting because of poor management or new owner, not customer service oriented, lanes have problems, ball get stuck, building is aging inside and out, they are letting it go.”

Las Olas Blvd

Overall Rating: 10

• Mango's restaurant is awesome.
• Don't drive here.

“I live right off of las olas, its just busy, everything is overpriced. very over-rated.”

Hurricane Lanes
Feb 27, 2008 by cassie from Destin

Overall Rating: 1

• I fail to find any positive.
• Just walking in is a death trap.

“Everything is broken. The manager Shawn is VERY difficult to deal with . The owner is non-exsistant. The snack bar is closed most the time. This place must be some kind taxe right off or something. The corroded iron pieces above the building is gonna fall and injure someone, someday very soon. If you look on the sidewalk you can cearly see large hunks of it.”

Racoon River Campgrounds
Feb 26, 2008 by Kelly from Holt

Overall Rating: 9

• Close to all the attractions.
• Reserve early, they fill up fast.

“The management and staff have always been good to us and helpful. They are a biker friendly campground and we have been going there twice a year for about three years. We have not had a bad experience there.”

Chassahowitzkda River Campground Citrus County
Feb 24, 2008 by Stephanie from Miami

Overall Rating: 4

• Pretty trees.
• Rude customer service - unsanitized bathrooms.

“The location and river is pretty but the campground isn't very organized or clean. Many loud young teenagers, low on toilet paper, old facilities, not a very good first impression.”

King Richards Theme Park
Feb 19, 2008 by guy from glastonbury

Overall Rating: 1

• Rides were great for younger kids 5 - 12 year.
• Old, poorly kept, understaffed rides.

“Worst managed theme park I have seen and I'm 67 years old and well-traveled. Badly understaffed by marginal attendants.”

Winterpark Amtrak
Jan 29, 2008 by Joe from Pocono, PA

Overall Rating: 10

• Very clean safe town.
• Office is small, but very clean.

“Nice small station located in upper-middle class town near Orlando. If you are staying north of the city use this station instead of Orlando.”

Solivita Golf Club
Jan 29, 2008 by Chuck from Youngstown, OH

Overall Rating: 8

• Golf courses with s good amount of room and a good pace of play.
• Less than average practice facilities and the Pro is not very congenial.

“The original course, a Ron Garl design, is truly a great layout. A variety of tees and good overall condition make this course a joy to play. The second course utilizes part of the old Poinciana course and is not as interesting but still playable. If you play there try to play the original course which I believe is called Stonegate Oaks but don't quote me. Overall it's a beautiful community with a couple of really nice golf courses.”

Twedts Bowling Center
Jan 26, 2008 by ROBERT from ANDREWS

Overall Rating: 1

• Clean.
• Ridiculously expensive, nasty desk staff!

“A total rip-off! Over $4 per person, per game! And the staff was arrogant!”

Capone's Dinner & Show
Jan 25, 2008 by Sue from Maine

Overall Rating: 9

• Friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Fun interactive show!

“My husband and I came to Orlando in celebration of our 20th year anniversary. We had a fabulous time! The food was adequate, but the drinks are free! Well worth the price of admission. The show was comical and somewhat interactive. The actors and staff were very friendly. Not only would we recommend Capones, we would go again. Great experience.”

Key West Aquarium
Jan 8, 2008 by Juliana from Green Bay

Overall Rating: 8

• Touching the shark, was a neat, once in a lifetime experience!
• It was very small, not quite worth the price, because you spend little time there.

“The Key West Aquarium was a fun outing for adults and kids. You got to look at tanks filled with some of Key West's local aquatic life. You also got to hands on activities, such as hold a huge hermit crab and touch a (harmless) shark. There was also an outdoor area, filled with lots of vegetation and ponds. This area includes baby alligators, sea turtles, and Key West's local, tropical birds. This was a fun experience that I would suggest to anyone traveling with kids.”

Exit Art
Jan 4, 2008 by Michele from Longboat Key

Overall Rating: 9

• New, chic clothing.
• Rarely any sales or special discounts.

“Exit Art is far more than a cheesy art gallery - but if you're not careful, you could leave with empty pockets due to expensive, but fair, prices! As a 21 year longboat Native, it is the only store on the island where I can always find something hip and fun!”

Greenacres Bowling Center
Jan 2, 2008 by John from West Palm Beach

Overall Rating: 7

• Lots of lanes and lots of leagues mean lots of opportunity to meet new people and make new friends.
• The ac can't always keep up when all 60 lanes are full.

“Overall, I like the place. I've bowled there once a week for the past two years. The lanes themselves are well maintained. The pin racks and sweeps break down too often for my liking. When they are, however, the staff acts quickly to either fix the problem or move you to a working lane. The ball return sometimes leaves gunk on your ball. What is worth commenting about and most responsible for my "7" ranking is the cramped space. There's no way to fix this. The tables are so close together that everyone trips over each others bags and shoes. The tables are so close to the lanes that no matter where you want to go, someone is in your way. The food is decent. The pizza is hit or miss. Sometimes it's great sometimes it's just good and some times its terrible.”

Pan American Hospital
Dec 17, 2007 by Carol from Boston, MA

Overall Rating: 1

• The one nice nurse (who spoke English) who kept us calm and told us to stay inside the hospital for the night, but when it was day time to get an ok to travel and leave or go to another hospital ASAP.
• Dirty, almost no English spoken, very dangerous outside after sunset, 100% absolute chaos because of a language barrier.

“If you are injured on a flight which lands in Miami and need medical assistance while a Miami international airport you probably will be taken directly to "Miami Metropolitan Hospital", formerly known as "Pan American Hospital". If you speak Spanish you may be ok, at least to understand what is going on once you arrive at the hospital. No one will speak English, or it will be very badly broken English if they try. Remember, this is your life/body youre dealing with and you might not know why they are pointing the x ray at your chest. Try to get stable and get out of this hospital. You'll probably need a note to get back on the plane from one of the doctors so be prepared to simply ask to be cleared to fly, after your stable, and get home to your real doc! .”
