Hi,
I bought an Extra Vacation to Longboat Bay Club (for around $800, I think) for Sat, 22 Nov to Sat, 29 Nov - yes, next week and through Thanksgiving.
Now I got a msg from RCI saying there was an overbooking and they are going to switch me to Calini Beach Club (Siesta Key)
Looking at the pictures, and reading through TUG reviews, it does not look as if I am getting a better deal. In fact, there is nothing about Calini that appeals to us as a family (we have a 2year old and a 4 year old... To give but 1 example about why this place wont work: both my kids turn up in our bed during the night... how am I going to do this in the queen bed that Calini has in its master suite?? This does not sound like a restful vacation to me!)
So, tomorrow, I am supposed to phone RCI. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to handle this?
