Hi,
I need some help, advice, suggestions, etc.....
Supposed to be going to Punta Cana Beach Resort next Wednesday, 4/17. Just got a call from my travel agent telling me that they just found out this resort is going to start renovations/remodeling NEXT WEEK (apparently 3/4 of the resort will be shut down - won't be complete until Sept)!!! So Apple Vacations is giving me a choice of 2 different resorts to choose from...same days, same flights, etc...only difference is the resort.
My choices are either the Fiesta Bavarro or the Occidental Flamenco - both in Punta Cana. I looked both up on many different websites and both look nice....but I just had my heart set on the Punta Cana Beach Resort (many friends of mine have been and highly recommend it...they don't advertise much and therefore don't draw huge crowds - very isolated and relaxing). I was ready to cancel and ask for a refund - although I really want/need a vacation right now - I was all set to postpone the trip until Sept when the resort re-opens. Apple Vacations will not give me a refund and they said I have until 6pm today to decide.
So does anyone out there have any suggestions for me....both do look really nice and I can't decide. Maybe some of you have been to one of these resorts and could lead me in the right direction.
Here is a link for Fiesta Bavarro:

And a link for Occidental Flamenco:

I am so mad/frustrated right now - does Apple Vacations have the right to do this to me so last minute??? I leave a week from yesterday!!! And they won't even knock some $ off the price - they said these resorts are nicer than the one I picked and they are more than compensating me.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks!!!
