Thanks everyone for all your replies
I spoke to Alpha rooms yesterday, after 30 minutes trying to get through. They were unable to tell me what the technical error was.... so it would seem from what you guys tell me its because Mediteran is undergoing renovation!
They said they have offered an alternative, ie the Ovacik Hotel, but I tried to explain theres quite a difference between a hotel in a bustling working town overlooking a marina, blah blah!
So they kindly said I could have a refund - free of charge!
I am trying to demand that they find an alternative in Fethiye or Calis, not Ovacik.
They put me on the urgent pile, which apparently means a call back within 24 hours
They have an hour left, then I'm afraid its Consumer Direct!
I doubt we will get anywhere,and then I will look into some of the alternatives you guys have suggested
thanks again!
Linda
