ResortGrader may use affiliate links, booking links, sponsored placements, or partner links. This page explains how those relationships work and how they should stay separate from resort grades and review standards.

Editorial Policy → Contact ResortGrader

Affiliate links can support ResortGrader, but they should not control the resort grade.

ResortGrader is built to help travelers compare resorts more clearly. If booking links or affiliate links are used, they may help support the site, but grades, rankings, and review explanations should remain based on traveler usefulness, category fit, resort details, and review signals.

Disclosure Statement

ResortGrader may earn from some links.

This disclosure is intended to help visitors understand how commercial links may appear on ResortGrader and how those relationships should be handled.

Plain English

What affiliate links mean

Some links on ResortGrader may be affiliate links, booking links, referral links, or partner links. If you click one of these links and make a purchase or booking, ResortGrader may earn a commission or receive compensation at no additional cost to you.

Important:

A commission does not mean you pay more because you clicked a ResortGrader link. Prices, taxes, fees, resort policies, and availability are controlled by the booking provider, hotel, resort, or travel partner.

Editorial Separation

What affiliate links should not mean

Affiliate relationships should not determine a resort’s grade, traveler-fit summary, category score, ranking explanation, or editorial judgment. ResortGrader’s goal is to keep commercial relationships separate from useful resort evaluation.

Grades should explain the resort.

ResortGrader grades and rankings should be based on resort information, review signals, category relevance, traveler fit, and practical comparison value — not simply whether a resort or partner pays commission.

How Links May Appear

Where commercial links may show up.

As ResortGrader grows, booking-related links may appear in resort profiles, category pages, ranking pages, destination pages, comparison pages, newsletters, or travel planning content.

Resort profile pages

Resort profile pages may include booking buttons, hotel links, partner links, or “check rates” links that direct users to third-party booking platforms.

Profiles Booking Rates

Ranking pages

Best resort lists may include links to resort pages or booking partners. These links may be affiliate links when available, but ranking logic should remain editorially separate.

Rankings Best Lists Partners

Travel resources

Some guides, blog posts, destination pages, or comparison tools may include links to resorts, hotel booking sites, travel services, or related partners.

Traveler Responsibility

Always confirm booking details before you pay.

ResortGrader can help compare resort options, but the final booking decision should always be based on current pricing, cancellation terms, resort fees, taxes, policies, availability, and traveler needs.

Before Booking

Confirm these details

✓ Total price, taxes, resort fees, and extra charges.

✓ Cancellation policy, deposit rules, refund terms, and date changes.

✓ Room type, bedding, view, occupancy limits, and included amenities.

✓ All-inclusive details, dining reservations, resort credits, and exclusions.

✓ Current resort conditions, renovations, seasonal closures, and local rules.

Important Limits

What ResortGrader does not control

! ResortGrader does not control third-party booking prices or availability.

! ResortGrader does not control hotel policies, fees, taxes, or cancellation rules.

! ResortGrader does not guarantee that a linked offer will remain available.

! ResortGrader content should not replace direct confirmation with the resort or booking provider.

! Resort experiences can change because of staffing, renovations, weather, seasonality, or management changes.

Editorial Trust

How ResortGrader should protect trust.

Booking links can support the website, but trust depends on clear separation between monetization and resort evaluation.

📊

Grades should be explainable

Resort grades should be supported by category details, traveler-fit notes, resort profile information, review patterns, and clear explanations of strengths and tradeoffs.

🏨

Partners should not control reviews

Resorts, booking partners, or advertisers should not be able to buy positive reviews, suppress legitimate criticism, or override fair editorial context.

🧭

Traveler fit still matters

A resort can be commercially linked and still not be right for every traveler. ResortGrader should continue explaining who each resort fits best.
