Hi,

I am looking into a 5* in South Miami Beach on Hotwire for 1 person, 1 night (2/4/13). It shows one for $196. I am assuming it is the The James Royal Palm but past posts seemed to have a "original price" info that this one doesn't so i am sure how to compare to other reported hotels.

Here is the description

I am looking for a 5* or Resort Hotel in South Beach. This is for my mom and she is hoping to go to the Lowes or Crown/James Royal palm (I believe these are the same). I did not see 5* on the priceline list (maybe i missed it?) but I did see the Lowes as resort. Is this the only know resort in South Beach that is part of priceline? What areas are safe to expand the bid onto and still have it as the sure bet? (If it is indeed the only one on the area)

Thank you so much for your help!!

At the moment, the highest star level available for bidding any of the three South Beach Priceline zones is 4*.

I do see the South Beach - Collins Resort hotel in the list of hotels members have reported here, so Resort level has been available in the past. But it isn't right now.

Hotwire does have some 5*s offered for South Beach. Perhaps one of those would work for you? If you want to check it out, you can use the Hotwire box in the upper left hand corner.

I assumed that all of these posts were for the same stay so i have merged them into one.

Best guess for the HOTWIRE property above is the The James Royal Palm.

This property (and the Loews) are both 4* rated on PRICELINE, and given that there are other 4* hotels in the zone, there is no way to target either of these properties. No guarantees, but if you'd like to try and target the James Royal Palm the HOTWIRE offer above will be your best bet... or if you're willing to accept any 4* hotel in the zone then you can try bidding on PRICELINE.

Let us know how you'd like to proceed and we'll try to assist further.

I have a related question, as, what I think is this property, also came up for my stay. I put in 4 people, as I always thought HOTWIRE guarantees bedding for 4 people. Someone on another web site tells me I'm wrong and that HOTWIRE will not guarantee bedding for 4, just like PRICELINE. Is this true?

EDIT TO ADD: Never mind. I found my answer under the random HOTWIRE questions. I see that Hotwire does guarantee bedding, so the person who told me otherwise must have a vested interest in PRICELINE to lie about it.
