Isn't this Las Caletas???


Recommended Posts

So I'm vacation planning and found this place in Negril. I click on weddings because I'm nosey, and look what photo they have as an example:

Here's the site:

N I R V A N A * on * the * beach...

 

 

Isn't that the exact same pic that is (or was) on the Vallarta Adventures site?

 

I remember the couple plus that looks like my wedding...ROFL!

 

Am I wrong or how shady is that?

While me & my girlfriends were looking for somewhere to go this month we came across a lot of that!
Caletas isn't at all a chain though, it's not even a "place" you'd vacation - it's a beach! lol How strange, i totally remember that picture!

It's a stock photo then... companies can use whatever images they want for marketing, as long as they purchase the images.

 

Think about how many company websites you visit where it has a picture of the beautiful, happy employee who dresses oh-so professionally and always has a smile on their face with an upscale looking decor to the background. Then, when you call their customer service, it's been outsourced to the middle east....

 

same thing applies with weddings/vendors/venues...

I guess we could think of it as flattery, since Las Caletas is the best place in the world! smile72.gif

That's no stock photo! I'm quite sure LC wouldn't sell their pics for other venues to use as theirs, I think they are too protective of what they have to do that.

 

It bothers me because this is another legitimate (I think?) business. Shoot the resort has top ratings on Trip Advisor, that's how I found the site in the first place!

 

If it were a personal website and the pics were decoration it would be one thing, but to advertise weddings and put a pic of another country....that's like the Plaza Hotel in New York saying "we do weddings here" and putting a picture of a wedding at the Hyatt in New Orleans.....wtf?

 

I think I'll email Nicole for kicks :P
