Hi, I used BiddingHelper.com and wondered if you had any input as to what hotel this might be. This is on HOTWIRE for a 3.5 star resort. The dates are June 28 through July 4, 2 rooms, and 5 adults at $85 per night. Using the Hotwire Easy View the amenities are: Full Amenities: Resort, Free food and drinks, A la carte dining, Free water activities, free entertainment, free activities, Fitness center, Pool(s), Internet Access. Thank you in advance for your help. Georgia

Hi, I'm just curious if you followed up on this hotwire hotel. I'm still quite curious about it and wondered if you found out? I just have a hunch it's not the sirenis hotel (unless the slashed rate is incorrectly listed). Thanks for the update!

Hi, yes... Ocean blue/sand is a decent choice and an option we were looking at. I currently can book that on a traditional site for just a few bucks less than the express deal would be so I don't see a "deal". I'll mention it to my husband and see what he thinks. Thanks for keeping me updated on good finds!

Thank you for your response. You answered my question. But yes we're ready to commit if we find a great deal as we already have the flights and dates already set.

I'm sorry, I forgot to mention when I asked how to read hotwire reviews, I meant... when we're looking at standard rate hotels (not secret ones) how do we read the actual Hotwire reviews for those.

Hi, thanks again for your assistance. Regarding your first comment (can't figure out how to copy/paste here) about Hotwire reviews: How do we actually read the HOTWIRE reviews for the standard rate hotels (not the secret rate ones) that is stated there are? Regarding your second comment: About the slashed rates, I sort of thought that's what it was and that's why I was assuming (hoping) that it wasn't the Sirenis because I can't find that resort ANYWHERE for a price that's even close to the slashed $261. The highest price I found the Sirenis for was like $160 per night. Yes, I'm ready to commit as I already have the flights and dates reserved. However, I don't have to commit at this time. I don't want to miss a good buy and end up paying more if I wait too long. Thanks!

Hi, Yes you're correct about the 35% making me cautious. However, my common sense questions how can it have 4 out of 5 ratings on trip advisor and still have 35%? One of the two must be incorrect. I don't have a max budget but was hoping to find something decent for 800 per room. On another note. I'm curious if you know how they come up with their "retail" slashed price or their star options. Is that the average going price and hotwires own star rating? Just curious. Didn't trip advisor itself have a section where they showed the green thumbs up and the percentage recommended?

Okay, I used the BiddingHelper.com, I started reading some other threads and I figured I too had too few amenities. Below is what the bidding helper turned up. (added to the above info though). Amenities: Free Parking, Free Breakfast, Resort, Suite, Beachfront Hotel, Casino, Children's Activities, fitness center, Pools, Restaurant, Self Service Laundry, Internet Access, Tennis Nearby, Spa Services, Accessible Path of Travel, Accessible bathroom. Thanks again for any info that can be provided

Hi, I used your link and need assistance in trying to ID the following on Hotwire: Punta Cana Bavaro Area Hotel June 28, 2015 - July 4, 2015 Hotwire states is $89, 4 star hotel (slashed price is $261) States it is 35% recommended Has 4 out of 5 on Trip advisor. Amenities: Free Parking, Free breakfast, Resort, Suite, Beachfront Hotel, Casino, Children's Activities, fitness center, Pools. I did see someone asked about this same set of amenities just last month (he also mentioned another set of amenities on another listing in the same thread). It was unclear to me what his outcome was. Thank you in advance for your help! Also, when they state the star rating... do they mean Hotwires star rating? IE... if they state it's 4 stars, is it safe to assume that a hotel that hotwire states is a 3.5 star would not be an option?

Hi.. I searched priceline (through the links provided). I searched the dates of 12/26/2013 - 01/03/2014 for Los Cabos. I need two rooms for a total of 4 adults. I chose the San Jose Del Cabo region to name my price. The option is for a 4.5* All inclusive property. While I don't need a specific property, I was curious as on which hotels/properties meet those parameters? Any suggestions as to what I should start for bidding? Thank you for your help! Georgia
