The hotel that cancelled me was the Puerto Plata Beach Resort. (AHSHA Hotels) I made my reservations back in Nov., had plane tix for 5 people. I've been going to PP for 15 yrs, and this was the first time this has ever happened to me. As it turns out, I found two rooms in a hotel near Sosua, the Coconut Palms. We were told the cancellations were a result of weather causing 3 buildings to be closed. I am going to pay them a visit and see it for myself. I have a feeling that we've been cancelled because of over booking. Of course, that's not what they said, but that's what I think. We are members of their vacation club. Makes sense, right? Bump us, they know we'll be back. Keep the new people, they are paying cash. We've been happy with the vacation club for 7 yrs, but if anyone out there is interested in buying time at a resort, drop me a line first. I can tell you the down side. Janette
