This is turning into a Monthy Python for my family - we booked a holiday back on June into this hotel, arriving 29th August.
1) travelling with mother 86 yrs old, so contact hotel to book central room
2) virus scare => I contact hotel management & travel agent, insured all OK, no health risk for aged mother
3) possible hurricane warning, I reassure said mother all is safe
4) read report of fire in hotel and subsequent closure, call travel agents ( Thomas Cook) who are not even aware of situation, and ask where we will be staying - they have no idea...
5) update parent on situation, who asks whether there are any revolutionary movements in Dom.Rep. or likelihood of hijacking during flight..
5) inform aged mother that we may be going to Blackpool instead...
Seriously, I am beginning to wonder - and I really really want to take Mother to the DR as she has never been to the Caribbean !
Question: if T.Cook offer us another hotel in DR, does anyone have a recommendation I should plump for ? Presuming hotel would probably be in same chain .
Muchas gracias - ta muchly
