Can anyone confirm the following who won a deal recently? 4 star Aruba 7/21-7/24 $91 Free parking, Free Internet, Resort, Beachfront hotel, Casino, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Self-service laundry, Internet access, Golf nearby, Tennis nearby, Spa services, Children's activities This hotel charges guests a resort fee of $5.95 per room per night, regardless of how the room is booked. The hotel collects this fee directly from you, so it doesnt show in your Hotwire total. This looks like Holiday Inn? 4.5 star Aruba 7/21-7/24 $163 Free parking, Free Internet, Near beach, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Internet access, Golf nearby, Spa services, Children's activities This looks like Amsterdam Manor? 4 star Aruba 7/21-7/24 $137 Free parking, Free Internet, Resort, Casino, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Self-service laundry, Internet access, Golf nearby, Spa services, Children's activities, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom This looks like the Renaissance Marina. The reason I think so is it disappears when you add a child to search.

So with all the changes to HOTWIRE it is difficult to see what resort you are REALLY getting. However, I have figured out one thing. We really wanted to stay at the REN 4 star rated, but it was very difficult to tell if it was the Ren. So the easiest wat to tell if it is the Ren is to first put your selection in for the dates you choose with no children. When the results come up make a note about the 4 star, rate. Now, go back in redo your work but this time add in 1 child, if the 4 star you saw earlier is no longer there then you know it is the REN, as it is adult only. I cannot promise this is 100% true everytime, but to my knowledge, the Ren is the only adult only resort in Aruba. Good Luck!

As we thought, This was the WESTIN. I booked thier HOTRATE. Thanks to this site for help.

First off, thanks to the site and the site admin for providing a website to learn information about deals to be purchased on Priceline and Hotwire. We are looking at extending our vacation a couple of days. I wanted to confirm my thoughts on the hotel being offered as a hot DEAL on Hotwire. Based on the amenities and the fact that this resort also charges a resort fee. I believe it to be the Westin. The rate shown is $121 a night plus tax and in the small print it says this property charges a Resort Fee. Free Parking, Free internet, Resort, Beachfront, Casino, business center, Fitness center, pool(s),restaurant(s). It is 4 stars and recommended by 90% Hotwire, comepares to $195 per night. Would most of you agree?
