Because the weather prognosis for the upcoming week was so poor for Isla Margarita I decided that I didnt want to go and argue for a cheap rate in a place that is only about the beach to begin with. If someone actually gets them to honor this, please let us all know, but in the meantime I would not recommend that anyone make travel plans based on this rate.
You could choose to go and pay the new rate the hotel wants you to pay... then after your stay contact CENDANT (assuming that is where you booked) and ask them to refund you.
This situation here is identical to the Albuquerque Days Inn deal ($9-$10/night if I remember right...) that was posted in this forum several months ago.
