I am new to this website and I've never been brave enough to try Priceline or Hotwire. The thing is I pretty much know what I want and don't know if it is possible to get it. We are looking to go to Marco Island the middle to end of July, dates are flexible, we will stay 7 or 8 nights. I've been to Marco Island before and stayed at the Radisson and loved it. What I'm looking for is a gulf front 3 or 4* hotel or resort. With a room that is gulf view. It seems from Priceline that I don't know if it will be on the beach or not and if so have a view. Am I missing something? I need some direction.
