De vs Des

When doing an exercise for my french class, we had to change a word or phrase to a synonym from the text. In doing so I came across:

Nous avons DE bonnes relations.    BUT   Nous avons DES rapports cordiaux.

Looking up sentences on Reverso Context gave dozens of examples but always DE bonnes relations   and   DES rapports cordiaux.

Can anyone explain please?
