Hi everyone.
I booked a holiday through monstertravel a few weeks back and are due to leave on the 7th of August in a few days time but have just learnt that the 4* hotel we were booked (and confirmed) on has been overbooked and they want to bump us off to a lower rated hotel in a different resort with unfavourable reports and after hearing my disgust have offered me the difference in price between the two hotels.
This travel agent prices the flight and accommodation separately and said we can cancel the entire accommodation but not the flights or should we want to choose any other hotel we would have to pay quite a few hundred more but still end up with a 2* star rated hotel but not the one we have already been moved to. I know we could force them to just offer a refund and forget about it but we need a holiday!!!
Based that I'm left with a flight for myself, wife & 5 r old daughter leaving on 07/08/08 and returning on 14/08/08 does anyone have any suggestions where I might get a reasonable apartment for up to £700? Would prefer Cala D'or, Millar or Alcudia.
Any help appreciated.
Steve
Oh no, sorry to hear about your overbooking.
Thanks for your suggestion but alpharooms have quite a limited choice for our budget and timing!
I've done car hire and everything. It's really not fair is it!!
Steve
No it's not.
Not used any of them personally
Thanks Kath you brilliant person. I'm ploughing through them. Will let you know.
Cheers Helen

If you are still looking try Thanks so much for your input. I did earlier write a longer message but somehow it self-deleted before I had a chance to send - probably lent on a button or something!

Re thinking your message self-deleted. What could have happened is that you may have been composing your post while someone had already replied in the topic. If this happens and you click Submit, your post won't be submitted, but it will give you the opportunity to read the post that "beat" yours and change your post if required. You need to click Submit again.
Then again, it maybe just disappeared into the ether!

re: deleted post; serves me right for taking so long to two finger type with my tongue hanging out to one side.

re cancelled post, I find that if I press the "ctrl" key instead of the "shift" arrow key when I'm trying to write a capital letter, it sets up a shortcut key, which depending which letter you are about to type, can delete what you have just written
If i am writing an important post (!) I will "preview" it as I go along, and then if something calamitous hapens, I can press backpage and retry and it will re-appear up to the point where I lost it.
sorry if this is a bit off-topic........
