Lately we have been looking around for somewhere to go on honeymoon, and it has been sheer agony. The volume of places that you can go is unbelievable and it is easy to get overwhelmed. The thing I struggled with most was trying to distinguish the good from the bad from the horrible. Most resorts seem to have cave men designing their webpages and you're lucky it they have more than one picture and text that isn't size 72. Finding the official website is also challenging. I eventually found the one place by entering in the postal address into google.

Eventually I found TripAdvisor. There's nothing visually fantastic about this website, but it has reviews and forums. After a little bit of searching I found the ups and downs of a couple of hopefuls and managed to chuck out the bad.

The site is an international one, so I didn't find a couple of the places in SA straight away. Doing a general search however brought up a number of forums with very heplful comments from south africans.

If you don't manage to find the place you looking for there and you have to resort(pun intended) to google, then I would suggest looking for reviews rather than the actual place. That way you can get an opinion of someone who has actually been there rather than a person trying to sell it to you.
