Thanks Anthony!

One question, where can I now find the "news" links that used to appear on the villa reviews page?

What I would really like to have happen with the review secion is to have you be able to type in a villa name and have the only the reviews for that particular villa pop up rather than having to search through the whole list from every year. Is that possible to do?

I would love to have a better, data driven system that would make more of that kind of stuff possible and it is something I am looking at and definitely working towards. For now though, if you get a little creative with the Google search on the site (upper right corner) you can get a pretty decent set of results. For instance - if you use the site command and then put the name of the villa in quotes at the end like the below:

site:http://www.virgin-islands-on-line.com/s ... elreviews/ "Cruz Views"

You can get a pretty decent set of results.

I'd love to be able to edit a review after I post it! My bad spelling can be embarasing.

Cheers, RickG

Rick!!! I totally agree! That was my Seawatch review, and I know I spelled mosquito wrong among other things.

Oh well, no worries, mon :)

Anthony,

While you're considering changes, to make the villa reviews much more 'user-friendly,' I personally would really love to be able to see right up front on the villa name line, the # of bedrooms that villa has & even possibly if it gets sunset or sunrise views.

But especially the # of BRs would help, especially if one could sort on that. The reviews are VERY helpful but it gets SO tedious, not to mention time-consuming, clicking into one & then another while you're trying to find something specific to accomodate you on your next trip (whether it be 2 people or 10 people!).

Please, please make this happen...

Thanks! :-)
