Don’t get us wrong – there are some incredibly valuable and reputable travel sites out there which provide high quality insight and great travel advice.

It’s also true that there are travel sites and bloggers who cram their content with click-bait, intrusive adverts and annoying pop-ups. You know the sort – you click on a social media link to read about the ‘Holiday Hot Spots That Everyone Is Talking About’ and land on a page full of irrelevant adverts which asks you to share your data with hundreds of partners which you’ve never heard of. You then need to ask yourself ‘Are these really the best products for me’?

…That’s not how we roll!

At PalmaCoco Travel, we stay true to our beliefs: in the magic of making wonderful memories; times to recall and reflect on that make us smile. And we can only do that if we promote products and services which we ourselves believe in.

That is why we created the PalmaCoco Travel Higher Tier Rating.

Our Higher Tier Rating reflects our commitment to promoting only goods, services and experiences we would genuinely recommend to our own family and friends. All of our content has either been personally tried and tested by our team, or thoroughly reviewed and assessed against user experiences and feedback.

We use a range of research tools to assess products and services including:

  • Personal experience
  • Customer feedback
  • Online public research tools

Star ratings

When using online tools to research products, services and experiences, here’s an example of how we would utilise star ratings.

1 Star – Not recommended by PalmaCoco Travel

2 Stars – Not recommended by PalmaCoco Travel

3 Stars – Meets the PalmaCoco Travel Higher Tier Rating in certain circumstances (such a personal experience / verified customer reviews)

4 Stars – Meets the PalmaCoco Travel Higher Tier Rating

5 Stars – Meets the PalmaCoco Travel Higher Tier Rating

Ratings are reviewed at the time of the publication of our content, but we understand that customer experiences and ratings are dynamic and subject to change. If you feel that our Site is promoting a product or service which has fallen below our Higher Tier Rating standards, we’d love to hear from you as we’re keen to ensure that all the information provided to our Users remains up to date and reflects the high quality that our Users expect and deserve.

Additionally, you won’t find intrusive adverts and annoying pop-ups on our Site. We aim to provide well researched, quality insight to help guide and inspire your next journey. All of our links are directly relevant to the corresponding content and you won’t find any hidden scripts or stealth marketing techniques on our Site. What you see is what you get.
