Priceline Hotel: Help to identify 4* Hotel in San Juan (Rio Grande - Farjado Area)

[Nel]

Trying to get El Conquistador for a trip. Using Priceline Express, I'm seeing two 4* options in the Rio Grande - Farjado Area.

 

August 15-17, 2016

 

Option #1

$87

Rated 7.0 out of 10

Guaranteed Amenities:

Restaurant

Fee Internet

Indoor or Outdoor Pool

Fitness Center

No Smoking Rooms/Facilities

 

Option #2

$85

Rated 7.0 our of 10

Guaranteed Amenities:

 Pets Allowed

 Business Center

 Restaurant

 Free Internet

 Indoor or Outdoor Pool

 Casino

 Fitness Center

 No Smoking Rooms/Facilities

 

Not sure if either of these are the El Con, or other hotels in the area. Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Closed out my previous thread, as requested.

Please confirm all dates on the landing pages...

 

Best guess for this 4* Rio Grande - Farjao hotel for $87/nite with the amenities above would be the Gran Melia. Golf Resort Puerto Rico.

 

Best guess for the $85/nite property would be the Wyndham Grand Rio Mar Beach Resort and Spa with:

Pets Allowed

Business Center

Restaurant

Free Internet

Indoor or Outdoor Pool

Casino

Fitness Center

No Smoking Rooms/Facilities

Ended up not using PRICELINE to get a hotel.

Thanks for the help.

So what did you decide to do for this trip?

 

When closing your threads it's more helpful to others if you post what you did do for the trip... not just what you didn't do.

 

It would also be appreciated if you used our sister site MAPS and HOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.

 

Hope you enjoyed your stay.

We decided to wait until the last minute to find something, otherwise we'd get an apartment rental.

 

I do have a few questions about the HOTWIRE options for these dates. Can I put the request here or should I create a separate one?

Thanks

Please let us know when you are ready to book, as inventory changes often on HOTWIRE. If you have a question about a particular listing, please provide the full list of amenities, price per night before taxes/fees, star rating and zone. 

Additionally, with about a week until your stay, this is essentially "last minute", as hotels likely know at this point what to expect in terms of traffic for your stay period.

 

Thank you for keeping us updated on what you decide and let us know when you are ready to book. Please post any HOTWIRE questions in this thread.

I'm seeing the following 4 options and I'm trying to figure out which is which, specifically if one of them is the El Conquistador Hotel.

$100 $175

Hotel #3:

4.5* - 80% Recommended

I believe there are more amenities then what you have posted above as HOTWIRE has a new interface that does not show the complete set of amenities unless you search using the EASY VIEW TAB of our BiddingHelper.com tool.

If you repeat your search using our BiddingHelper.com tool... use the HOTWIRE EASY VIEW tab and then click the GREEN BUTTON next to this listing, do you see more amenities (including any accessible amenities) then what you have listed above?

 

The 4.5* hotel above is priced at $179/nite... would you be willing to pay this for the El Conquistador?

You're correct. Revised with full amenities below. And if the $179/night option is the Conquistador, then I'd probably just book it directly since that's right around the current advertised rate:

$114 $175

FULL AMENITIES: Free Internet, Resort, Suite, Beachfront hotel, Airport shuttle, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Golf nearby, Tennis nearby, Spa services, Children's activities, In-room accessibility, Wheelchair accessible, Accessible bathroom, Accessible parking

 

Hotel #3:

4.5* - 80% Recommended

$179

FULL AMENITIES: Free parking, Free Internet, Resort, Near beach, Airport shuttle, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Golf nearby, Tennis nearby, Spa services, Children's activities, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Accessible parking, Roll-in shower

I don't believe any of the hotels above are the El Conquistador.

 

I had asked regarding the $179 rate since if that is not an option for purchase then it's not worthwhile to research, but i did notice that it could be booked HERE for an all-in price less than the all-in price of the $179 hotel above.

Let us know whatever you ultimately decide to do for this trip.

 

[Nel]

Thanks for this. Ended up booking the El Conquistador directly.

 

Thanks again for all the help
