Here is what I am looking at: Hotel Category: 4.5 stars Travel dates: 8/19/2017 - 8/23/2017 Price: $351/night Amenities: Business center, Fitness center, Indoor pool(s), Internet access, Near beach, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Smoke-free rooms Any clues? Thank you so much!

Will do, thank you for the insight! I will continue to post questions on the board as I need help with Priceline and Hotwire and I will use your links when making reservations. I will also point others to the site.

Update: my girlfriend ended up booking the Hyatt directly and the total with all taxes came to a little over $900, similar to the 4.5* on the beach here. I wish I knew what the 4.5* near the beach was... Thank you for the help

I see. I will keep you posted, have not made a decision yet. Thank you

I apologize, on a straight search on Hotwire.com, the $129/night, no resort fee, 95% recommended has the following amenities: Free Internet, Free parking, Fitness center, Golf nearby, Near beach, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Spa services. Notice the different amenities from the hotel listed in my first post for $129. Could this be a different one and what would be your guess? Thank you again!

I ran that search on my phone. I don't see it now either as I am using the laptop. Yes, I am searching the default 1 rooom/2 adults/ 0 children. I am trying to be on or near the beach for somewhere under $175/night if possible. Preferably a 4* or 4.5*. I now see the 4.5* for $129 if I use BiddingHelper.com. If I just do a straight quote (top of this page), this hotel (assuming it's the same) shows up with a recommendation rate of 95% recommended 5 reviews. Does this narrow it down? Thank you!

Will do. Today I see a 4.5* for $157/night, no resort fee, a 95% approval rate and the following amenities: Fitness center, Golf nearby, Near beach, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Spa services. Could this be the Amsterdam Manor Beach Resort? Thanks again!

Excellent, thank you. I will make sure to use the link if I decide to book via HOTWIRE. I will also post the results here.
