Thanks to both of you for the replies.
I would have no complaint with the Intercontinental but much prefer the Condado area. Not a fan of the Sheraton in comparison to some other 4* Condado due to lack of beachfront (and that's a deal killer with the wife and kids). Seems like the PR board had a lot more activity before they classified Sheraton and Water Club as 4*.
Would love to score the Marriott Stellaris or the Vanderbilt - but that's optimal scores. So I am being a little select. Intercontinental would work fine - but I may take a run at priceline tonight. Or maybe just pay the incremental on Marriott.
Thanks for the reply. Sorry about not closing out the old post. Not so sure I like the original post as it seems to be Ciaqala (sp).
Looking at the same criteria today but for Isla Verde, it's interesting that area shows 3 listings for 4*.
Can you distinguish which hotel this is ($207 per night): Resort, Beachfront hotel, Casino, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Self-service laundry, Internet access, Tennis nearby, Spa services, Accessible for visually impaired, Accessible for hearing impaired, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Accessible parking, Roll-in shower
Don;t know the protocol if I should have opened a new post.
Oh, and I am particular - there are some hotels I really do not want. Not the Sheraton and not the Water Club

4* Condado area casino hotel $165 - 90% recommended
Free Internet, Pet friendly, Casino, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Self-service laundry
Any thoughts? I didn't see a pet friendly option in the hotel listing - but may have missed it.. Will probably check out priceline as well.
Thanks, dog. I updated the Condado thread as requested.
I did as you requeted but I show the exact same amenities (althought the orer changed). Price has also changed to $169.

Forgot all about this as I didn't use HOTWIRE or PRICELINE. I really did not want the Water Club and I was willing to pay a tad more through Hotels.com to ensure it wasn't the Water Club
Need help identifying a place to stay in Fort Lauderdale from 5/11-5/17
A 4* resort appears in the Fort Lauderdale Beach area for $173 with a 85% recommend rate. Amenities are:
Resort
Smoke Free rooms
Pool
Business Center
Spa Services
Oceanfront hotel
Fitness center
Restaurant
Internet access
Thanks in advance
You may want to go HOTWIRE instead. PRICELINE has added the SJ Water Club to their list of resorts - and that's more of an adult's place with almost no pool (small). That could be a trip ruiner for a young one. Seems like hotwire has been showing the Caribe (Condado) pretty regularly but for more like $130.
You first step would be to look through the resorts available through Priceline and determine if all those places are acceptable to you. If so, you are ready to bid; if not, you need to weigh your options.
One of the gang should get back to you soon - they are usually quicker but must be held up with life or something.
If you look at the Hotwire list, it looks like the later would be La Concha, El San Juan or Intercontinental - as those were the only 3 I saw come up as Resort
But don't take my word - wait for one of the pros.
I posted similar the other day in this San Juan hotel thread. That one property makes it too big a gamble for me. I don't even like the Sheraton being included - but I might be able to live with that
The Conrad is at the west end of Ashford Avenue. Ashford is bustling all times of the day. Always people out and many good places to eat drink.
The Caribe is close but it's about a .75 mile walk (not bad) but it's over the bridge and a few blocks off to the north - and the immediate area is fairly dead. It's not a bad area - just night and day as far as surroundings. So much so that I am considering paying extra to stay at Conrad.
Will do.
My decision is to go PRICELINE and score the Caribe - great hotel, location could be better
Or pay an extra $400 (7 days) and stay in the Condado - which is also a great hotel but the location is great
Thansk so much

How likely is this Conrad Condado?
I am fine with the new lists - the one downside is you used to be able to do a search (control F) on the page to look for an amenity - the new pages are not searchable in that manner - just a minor loss.
Completely disappointed that PL restructured SJ to 4 star. It used to be a can't miss bidding resort.
Right now, scoring the Water Club or the Sheraton would be a complete disappointment (in my situation).
Looking for May 11-18 - and the Conrad Condado would be my first pick. Any ideas to help my odds (not so much of getting the Conrad but of not getting the other two)?
Sorry, it's a little off topic. I hate to waste people's time but I expect it's now just part of the risk
Love the site.
