First Choice have moved me

Hi all, please advise.... Just recieved a letter yesterday stating that my Hotel is under going major refurbishment and that i have a choice of another hotel in a different resort, my money back or a different holiday that i must put money to if dearer.

I go away in 7 weeks and feel really let down as the hotel was picked by me on recommendation by friends and a certain holiday truth website which gave it 5 out of 5 and i really was looking forward to staying there.

The hotel looks nice that was offered but it isn't the resort that i wanted to visit and I really want to see what options i have as i paid for the holiday last September in full and then it's canceled.

Any ideas

    That must be really annoying... I would take a look at otbeach.com and xl.com both have really good deals and Thomsons have some good offers on 2, £25 discount when you quote cj-sunbeam... I think savapenny quotes DIVERS on xl for £15 discount ... look at these sites before asking for money back.
    GOOD LUCK

    At least they told you, You could have arrived at the hotel to find building working going on and your holiday ruined.

    Where were you going and what hotel and what sort of price had you paid in the first place?
