I have booked (back in January) to stay at Holiday Inn Sunspree in Montego Bay Jamaica from 12th October for one week. However I now read that the hotel closes on 25th August and is due to reopen on 7th October - a mere 5 days before we arrive. Its rumoured that it is being bought out by the company that own the Jamaica Grande in Ocho Rios.
Im in a bit of a dilemma of whether to ask my operator to change to an alternative as I am worried that
1. Hotel re-opening may be delayed (even here in the UK these building renovations run over finish dates, never mind Jamaica!)
2. If it isnt open I'll get dumped somewhere Ive not had the chance to do some research on
3. If it is open it may not be "fully" operational so various facilities are closed or work is still ongoing around me
Where do I stand with my tour operator (direct holidays) I havent called them yet as I only found out yesterday and i want to be prepared with options in case I dont like what they tell me.
If I chose to move, will I have to pay extra - would you risk it and just wait it out to see - Am i worried about nothing??
Its great that the hotel is being renovated,but it just concerns me that its reopening so close to my expected arrival date - I am having daydreams of arriving there- being only a few guests here and there and the hotel not being fully stocked.
Your help please - I am going to phone my tour operator in the morning.
Many thanks
Lisa
