Mandarin Oriental, Miami
The Mandarin Oriental’s pool is small in real life, suitable only for a quick dip…nothing like the vast, blue expanse of water in the marketing photo.

3. California Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas
This hotel’s website promises rooms that feel like a tropical island paradise, and backs up the claim with colourful photos. The real room-while clean and comfortable-looks bland in comparison.
4. Gran Bahia Principe Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
All too often, mega resorts market their beaches as pristine, serene, and romantic; in reality, most are anything but. Take, for example, the above photo of Gran Bahia Principe Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. Crowded with lots of chairs and lots of people, it’s the opposite of deserted.
6. Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill, Washington, D.C.
The Hyatt Regency Washington D.C. is certainly located near the U.S. Capitol building, but not as near as the hotel website’s photo, taken with a zoom lens, indicates.
