Thanks, appreciate the advice. Yikes, agree that this looks like El Con and that the price a bit excessive for me. Been browsing the reviews on Rio Del Mar and the website and am quite happy with what I've seen...think this will be the right choice for me too. Enjoy your trip!

General question for those with more Hotwire experience than I. Hoping to get a specific hotel in San Juan (El Conquistador) in April. There is a listing in March for a hotel which exactly matches the amenities and other items confirmed by other users to be this hotet, including 95% recommend rating. Above the listing it shows "20 bookings in the last 24 hours". Looking further out into April at my target dates, there is a different amenities description for a 4* hotel in the Humacao area which seems inconsistent with the typical ones reported for El Con and it shows a 90% recommend rating (not 95%). At first I assumed that this was probably a different hotel based on the amenities and recommend %-age differences, but this listing still says "20 bookings in the last 24 hours" above it. So: does this "20 bookings in last 24 hours" imply that this is the exact same hotel as the one in March (even though amenities and recommend %-age is listed differently) -or- does this mean nothing?

There was a similar post/thread a couple weeks ago with exact same amenities list in Rio Grand area. Poster never confirmed what the hotel turned out being then, maybe they didn't book, but the prevailing opinion of others was that this set of amenities was most likely Rio Mar Beach Resort and Spa. I'm kind of in the same boat, really hoping for El Conquistador but not for a few months from now. Good luck, if you do book this and find out one way or another appreciate if you could update this post with results. Thanks.

ceh0126 - what was the answer? A few predictions about what it may be, but if you've actually booked this what was the resort? Thanks for the update.
