LA_FadeAway Posted December 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 $676 * original price $194 hotwire price per night 71% off 4.5-star All-inclusive Hotel in Playa del Secreto - Playa Paraiso area Trip advisor 4.5 (2001+ reviews) FULL AMENITIES: Free parking, Free breakfast, Free Internet, Resort, Beachfront hotel, Free food and drinks, A la carte dining, Free water activities, Smoke-free rooms, Free entertainment, Free activities, Children's activities, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Spa services, Accessible path of travel, Wheelchair accessible, Accessible bathroom, Accessible parking There is another 4.5* for $328/nt, which I believe is the Valentin Imperial Maya since that one includes "premium drinks" in the amenities. It also disappears if I select 1 adult and 1 child and I know the Valentin is adults only. That leaves me stumped on the one above. Link to comment
thereuare Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread. Once you win a hotel, use the 'ADD REPLY and REPORT WIN' button on the upper right corner of the page to edit the topic title to reflect your win and to provide the details of your purchase. This helps keep the board better organized by reducing the number of unresolved threads that don't have any follow-up or conclusion. I'm not certain of the 4* Isla Mujeres property... the Mia Reef Isla Mujeres seems like a reasonable guess, but i can't say with any degree of certainty. The Playa del Secreto - Playa Paraiso hotel could be the El Dorado Royale, but with most all-inclusive properties offering the same/similar amenities, i'm far from certain. What is it that you are looking for in a hotel for this trip and what is your maximum budget?

LA_FadeAway Posted December 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 We're looking for something on a beautiful swimable beach. A room with an ocean view would be a plus. We're looking to spend under $1k for the five nights for a regular hotel and maybe up to $1500 if it's all inclusive. If we don't stay in an all inclusive then we'd like to be somewhere within walking distance of restaurants in an area like Isla Mujeres or Playa del Carmen. This is just a trip for a little down time. Found an amazing air fare and jumped on it, not looking for anything too fancy. If that one on Isla Mujeres is really the Mia Reef, that might be perfect for us. The water around it looks great and all the rooms are ocean view. Town not too far of a walk if we get sick of the food there. Just spotted this one too, which I think is the Reef Playacar? If so, it might work for us too since we could still go into town for dinners if the all inclusive food isn't very good. Looks like the beach is quite nice at least. $330 * original price $152 Hotwire price per night 54% off 3.5-star All-inclusive Hotel in Playacar area 8.0 - 10.2 mi from search center 8 out of 10 Good Free parking, Free breakfast, Resort, Beachfront hotel, Free food and drinks, A la carte dining, Free water activities, Free entertainment, Free activities, Children's activities, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Self-service laundry, Internet access, Golf nearby, Spa services Trip Advisor 4.0 (2001+ reviews) Link to comment
thereuare Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 I don't have any reason to exclude the Reef Playacar from being the 3.5* HOTWIRE offer above, but again, with so many all-inclusive properties sharing the same amenities i can't say with any degree of confidence. Maybe one of these may work for your needs (although admittedly i don't know much about the swim-ability of the beaches for any of these... and confirm your dates on the landing page of any links provided below): 4* Riviera Maya - Playa Del Carmen for $157 Free Parking Airport Shuttle Free Internet Indoor or Outdoor Pool Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities ==> best guess would be the Acanto Boutique Hotel 4.5* Cozumel for $225 Pets Allowed Free Parking Business Center Restaurant Free Internet Indoor or Outdoor Pool Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities ==> Presidente Intercontinental Cozumel would be my guess here Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.

LA_FadeAway Posted December 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Thank you so much for the suggestions. After researching a little further, I'm now under the impression that the 3.5* in Playcar is actually the Allegro Playacar rather than the Reef Playacar, based on the original pricing HOTWIRE shows. I found the same hotel on Trip Advisor for $166/nt with free cancellation up to a couple days before our trip so I went ahead and booked that for now. Will continue watching HOTWIRE to see if anything better (and identifiable) comes up between now and then. The Allegro Playacar is finishing up a complete renovation so I'm hoping the hotel will be better than recent reviews indicate by the time we get there. Link to comment
thereuare Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Note that the crossed out rate is an average price of hotels of this star rating in the zone for your dates, NOT necessarily the rate of the hotel currently being offered, so it's really meaningless and shouldn't be use in an attempt to try to figure out what hotel is being offered. Glad to see you found something that works for your needs as a back-up reservation for the time being. You may also be able to find something suitable (to use as a back-up) at our sister site RefundableRates.com. Let us know what you ultimately decide to do for this trip (if you stick with your current back-up) or if you make some other plans.

LA_FadeAway Posted January 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Just a quick follow up. We've decided to stick with the backup hotel we booked (Allegro Playacar). The renovations are complete and reviews are starting to look better. I'm sure it will do for what we need. Link to comment
