We have used these opportunities 3 times now and have found that none have given us a hard time at all. We've just declined and that has been the end of it. One we did in Phuket was a bit hairy because the hotel we were initially staying in removed itself from the group only a month before we were to travel and we had to go into one of a lesser quality because all the others were full by that time. However, we do check all the hotels in the group in a particular area before booking - just in case this sort of thing happens. The hotel was fine but was further out, but the shuttle bus negated the problem. I actually feel sorry for the presenters because they really do their job well.
