Here is the problem with the Arikok Park answer. The beach in the picture is not near the park and they clue tomorrow shows the California Lighthouse, which is also not in the park.

I was thinking Rodrigues Island, Mauritius. It is on the autofill list on the hotels anywhere website, but no rooms can be found when I tried a bunch of random dates. I believe the island only has two bird species, and a few hotels...
It seems like the only real hint is the birds. Now we just need someone who is overly knowledgeable about indigenous birds to find out the possible places that have two species, near beaches, maybe have cacti, and have rooms on the list...
Is that really worth 1500 points?

I think this is Australia. The two birds are emu and ostrich. But where in Australia?

Rodrigues Island, Mauritius. all the way
Take it back, I just read all the updates re: Aruba. I'm assuming:
'ARIKOK NATIONAL PARK, ARUBA'. Too much of a coincidence with the naming example.

but really, if it is Aruba would they really require such specific answer
as to where on Aruba
I'm sure something like Aruba in the Caribbean is good enough

Your complaint needs to be addressed to your country's government. Regulatory barriers add costs that must be factored into the calculation of marketing cost-benefit. That is why in North America we see offers aimed at U.S. and offers aimed at Canada, but rarely offers aimed at both. And IIRC there have been many offers aimed at Asian countries, but not at North American countries. Ditto Central America but not North America. Same reasons.
