The world has been abuzz since Apple introduced the new Apple Maps -- and the chatter has not been positive. As we're sure you've heard, this map app won't be too helpful if you need, well, an accurate map. Instead, flubs such as roundabout directions, museums pinned in the middle of the ocean, and a whole list of destinations that can't be found add up to making Apple Maps a real flop. But hey -- it certainly can be entertaining (that is, if you're not in a rush to actually arrive at a certain location). We had some fun finding just where Apple Maps would send you if you were trying to get to some of our favorite hotels. Enjoy!
The Hotel: Casa de Campo, Dominican Republic
Heading to the luxurious Casa de Campo on the coast of La Romana? Apple Maps will only get you as far as the La Romana airport, so that 10+ mile drive to the resort is up to you to figure out!
Look at what you’re missing!

The Hotel: One&Only Ocean Club, Bahamas
And to Apple Maps, some hotels might as well not exist at all. You know, famous spots such as the One&Only Ocean Club in the Bahamas, the Geejam in Jamaica, and the Dreams Punta Cana Resort and Spa: The app map give you the same message for all — “No results found.”

The Hotel: Caneel Bay, a Rosewood Resort, St. John
Apple Maps won’t be much help to celebs (such as Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt) and other well-heeled guests who frequent the historic Caneel Bay, a Rosewood Resort. It simply pins the hotel as St. John. [Ed note: Hey, it’s a small island! You’ll be able to find it eventually :)]
