Hotel page upgrade: Hotel Rosamar

The live Rosamar page next to the same page rebuilt from six data feeds. Same template, same editorial voice. Scored on three things: how many of a family's real questions it answers, how many ranking signals it carries, and how much risk it adds. Scores are our own rubric, shown in full below.

What's better

It shows the hotel. The current page shows Rincón de Loix. The upgrade opens on the hotel from above, then the water park, pool, rooms.
1,501 guest reviews instead of one video. Overall 8.0, this season 7.2, and split by who's going: UK 8.3, families 6.7.
Combines feeds to say something nobody else says. Two separate review sources agree that cleanliness and food are the weak spots. The page says so, with both numbers.
Catches its own errors. Neither rate feed has winter rates, while the live page says “open all year”. The upgrade lists every conflict between sources and what we do about it.
Prices a whole week. Hotel, flights from 8 UK airports and the transfer in one figure: £1,262 for two from Gatwick in May (test feed).
Answers the family question that matters most. The water park opens 15 June to 30 September only.
Every figure carries its source and date, which is what both search engines and AI assistants look for before they quote a page.

Signal	Current	Upgrade	Why

Unique numbers no other page has in one place	1	2	Week cost, group scores, topic scores, cross-source conflicts.

Entity completeness (rooms, policies, distances, renovation)	1	2	Adds renovation year, airport distance, 46 room types, check-in rules.
Long-tail answers (“rosamar water park opening times”, “rosamar family room size”)	1	2	Each now has a direct, sourced answer on the page.
Citable facts for AI answers (tables with numbers and sources)	1	2	Source tag on every figure; tables an assistant can quote.
Sources shown per figure (trust signals)	1	2	Sources table plus a tag beside each number.
Page weight	2	1	About 0.8 MB more images, lazy-loaded. The one thing that gets worse.
Total	8/16	15/16

Risk

0 none · 1 low · 2 medium · 3 high. Lower is better.

Risk	Current	Upgrade today	After fixes	Note
Accuracy: claims resting on one source	2	1	1	One creator video → six sources, with disagreements shown openly.
Stale facts (static page, no refresh)	2	0	0	“Open all year” is contradicted by two rate feeds; the new page flags it.
Thin or duplicated content versus booking sites	1	0	0	Combined analysis exists nowhere else.
Third-party fee figures without a date	1	1	1	Hotels.com fee figures kept and labelled, as now.
Copied review text or review markup	0	0	0	Only scores and our own summary. No review stars in schema.
Google or Tripadvisor named on the page	0	0	0	None, unless the optional Tripadvisor block is switched on (+3).
Photo licence	0	2	0	Supplier photos: confirm LiteAPI/Hotelbeds display terms for affiliates. Fintan's view: hotels welcome it.
Test prices visible	0	3	0	Sandbox rates on the preview. Production LiteAPI key removes this.
Total	6/24	7/24	2/24
