Montreal is great I don't get the posts saying they didn't like it!!! I love Montreal!!!!
Anywhere in PA HATE it. No where else I've been I wasn't a fan of or didn't find something to appreciate.

I lived there and really liked it but it was years ago. Has it gotten worse? I think it's a cool city with many interesting neighborhoods. It's walkable, full of History.
Not the pp, but it has gotten much worse. I used to take my children to Philly fairly often 10-20 years ago, and we enjoyed it very much. Went back earlier this year, and while the usual tourist places are fine, once you go beyond them, it is very bleak. There is a menacing vibe to the city that wasn't there before. I didn't feel safe. I actually saw someone who was mugged. Very disheartening to see
That's really sad to hear! I have not been back in so long, has to be about 15 years.

Santorini - way overrated & crowded
Bangkok - great sights but the traffic was awful and getting around sucked, dishonest taxi drivers
Istanbul - also great sights but wasn't overly impressed
Tokyo - same as above
For people saying places like Vegas, Miami or even Cancun. You have to manage your expectations when going to these places. These are heavy touristy places and thats what they cater to. But what I will say is that I feel like you have to go get to know these places and find your "jam" - after you've been a few times you find your favorite places to go, fave restaurants, activities etc. Can't really get that in 1 visit. Same with NYC. Yes its crowded, parts are dirty etc. But NYC also has 8 million people what do you expect? The food and culture and diversity in NY is unparalleled hands down. Anyone would say Brooklyn is soulless has no idea what they're talking about and was probably there for a couple hours max.
You just listed some major cities you don't like because of the crowd and traffic, yet NYC is wonderful?

We were not there in the winter, maybe that's why? I still cannot pinpoint exactly why. Everyone else had a fine enough time, and I went along, but it felt off. Low vibration strange. I've never felt like that anywhere else. And I grew up rural.
I’m with you on Massanutten. We were there with a large ski group and we utilized one of their event spaces for a party. It was dated with low ceilings and the food was subpar. Overall, the resort was crowded, too spread out and the hotel rooms were dated. Ski Liberty is better for a large ski group.

I really didn’t like Cartagena. Never have I ever been so harassed by street vendors in my life (and I’ve traveled extensively throughout Latin America, speak Spanish, etc). People just coming up to you, pushing product at you, women on the beach trying to massage my husband and starting after he said no. It was really too much. Also crowded and dirty.

I was surprised and disappointed by how bleak Mykonos was. I knew it would be touristy, but I was expecting that a place supposedly known for being a playground for rich & famous people would be beautiful/scenic. There were two or three charming but insanely crowded historic streets that are featured in all tourism photos of Mykonos, but the rest was basically a hilly hunk of desert with some occasional scrub growth or guest-only hotel enclaves.
I enjoyed time spent with locals in the non-touristy parts of the island a bit more, hearing about quiet life on the island before it was "discovered" as a destination. But by the time we left I was so bored and my eyes were thirsty to see something besides desert or buildings.
They also have to import water to support so many additional people.
Others really seem to love it, but it definitely wasn't for me.
