St Lucia Smugglers Cove rebuilding

howardkc

Hi my partner and i have booked our dream wedding at the Smugglers Cove Resort in St Lucia for August 2015, two weeks including the wedding ceremony, fabulous a dream come true. However we have recently discovered on the internet that the Smugglers Cove is now being demolished in April 2015 so our dream is now a nightmare! We have paid a deposit of £475 and we have had a call from Virgin holidays to say that we will not be able to have our wedding in Smugglers Cove now and they will look into finding us an alternative. We took great care in choosing the place of our dream wedding and now it seems we will have to get married in another place we have no choice in. Also the trip was going to cost around £4500 in the sales, now the sales are over we have looked and they are around £7000!!!! for similar weddings at St. Lucia.
We are devastated and are wondering if anyone else is in the same position.
Help us Martin what should we do?
