Pretty and nicely decorated, sure, but the ux is pretty naff. I choose France as a destination, why do see just 3 categories, why do none of the categories suggest how many hotels are included therein, there are not even a dozen in total so why this waste of time interim screen?

I view Paris on the map, click a hotel, no visual feedback (tooltip) on which hotel marker I'm clicking, and if i go back - tada - the page has defaulted to it's view images state. Now I have to re-select the map and trudge through this quagmire of an interface.

A fine example of a designer thinking just making it pretty is design. It's not, it's about communication, function, form all working harmoniously. A fine example of good design this website is not.

Excellent points, Justin. I posted for the visual design and style in this case, which is why that's the only part that I comment on. Most of the single screenshot entries I post in the visual design section are usually posted for their aesthetics and surface qualities--I hadn't delved into this site as deeply as you had obviously.

I wasn't judging you, I followed the link because I agreed with your assessment based on the visual appeal. I just thought I'd play devils advocate to emphasize that a pretty face does not disguise an obstinate & obstructive character.

Keep up the great posts, you keep me up to date ;)
