Re: Occidental Grand

[Texas Diver]

I just got an email from my travel agent. Apple Tours is granting full refunds for anyone booked into the Grand. Apparently the resort is closed through the end of the year, but I could not confirm this with Occidental's Corporate people. All they are saying is they are still assessing the damage.

Occidental Corporate Office: 1-800-858-2258 select #4.

I talked with my travel agent and she can't book anything till about December. So apple refunding trips doesn't seem to out of line givin the extent of the damage to the island.

Dave from Aldora's report yesterday said the pier was in tact and tourists were laying on the beach yesterday at the Grand.

These are probably folks still trying to get home, but it sounded better than the intial reports I heard that the entire property was under 2' of water!
