Hi
I've just returned from Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. We stayed at the Gran Bahia Punta Cana. It's a fabulous hotel in a great resort.
Whilst we were there they were overbooked (it was Easter, but apparantly it happens regularly.) To overcome this problem, they were offering US$200 a night to move to the Ocean Blue or Sunscape hotels nearby, a room upgrade and free safe on return.
Our friends took them up on this and moved for 1 week, being given $1400 ( £800-ish) cash before moving.
As the holiday had cost them £2000, if they had found out about the offer at the strart of the holiday and moved for 2 weeks they would have saved up to $2800 (£1600) which is a 4+ star Carribbean holiday for 2 people for £400 at Easter.
This may not be on constantly, but we prefered to stay at the Bahia anyway, next year though we will check out before we check in!
