I am a newbie to this site, having found it by accident whilst researching the best deal I could get for a pre-cruise and post-cruise hotel stay in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
We will be there on 4th January, 2019 for 1 night and 17th January, 2019 for 1 night. I don't really have a budget, although I don't really want to go above $300 for each
night.
I have not yet used PL or Hotwire but have been playing with them over the last few days. It looks like fun! I am aware of the consequences of bidding, which I accept, as
we're not set on any particular hotel or chain. Largely, whatever we get is not hugely important as we're only staying for 1 night each time. It's now all about the game!
I've been looking at PRICELINE EXPRESS. (Sorry, I don't know how to put the link in?) for 4* and 5*.
The 4* Casino Hotel in PRICELINE EXPRESS looks like the Sheraton Puerto Rico Hotel and Casino.
Retail says 8.1 Guest Rating with 908 Reviews - Price £214, PRICELINE EXPRESS says 8+ Guest Rating, 900 Reviews - Price £123
Using the Retail filters, there are only 4 hotels in Condado offered that have a Casino, UNLESS the PRICELINE EXPRESS can offer a hotel that is NOT offered on the Retail list. Is this possible?
I've done a similar search for 5* Hotels, and Retail only offers 1 hotel (Condado Vanderbilt). Am I correct in assuming that it must be this one on the PRICELINE EXPRESS?
I now also want to have a look at bidding but have no idea where to start and which bidding strategy to use. I'll be happy with the PRICELINE EXPRESS deals, to be honest, but want to push
a little further for the fun of it.
I would, therefore, be grateful for the benefit of your advice and knowledge.
