Sorry, I won the Westin.

just replied. thanks!

I ended up going to Aruba. I bid on Priceline and won for $180/night. The hotel room was really nice with a flat screen TV but the bathroom was really old and needed to be remodeled.

Hi, I am looking to stay in Turks and Caicos Providenciales (PLS) from 5/14/10 to 5/18/10. I checked this forum and was not able to find any historical Priceline or Hotwire wins. When I go to Priceline, I see two 4* hotel options, the Windsong and Somerset. Then when I go to the Name your Own Price tab, I see a 4* option. When I check Orbitz.com, there are a lot more than two 4* hotel options. Does anyone have experience with bidding on Priceline for Turks and Caicos? What are the chances that I would win the Windsong or Somerset if there are other 4* hotels in the area (that perhaps are just not listed in the List View? Thank you.

Looks like there are a lot of Aruba Westin hotel wins. I noticed the hotel is undergoing construction in the lobby. Has anyone reviewed the hotel after being there during the construction?

Using the above method, I bid on Priceline up to $185 for a Resort and was rejected. Not sure if I should keep trying because I wanted to keep my trip costs low and initially my max bid was $175. Maybe I should choose a different vacation destination? Based on the posts, looks like others are going to Aruba in the month of November. Does anyone know if it's really warm in Aruba in November? I would like to go to a place that's really warm so I can swim in the ocean and I want to stay at a really nice hotel. Thank you for your help.

Thanks for your reply. The maximum I would like to bid for a Resort is $175/night. Is the Resort category higher than 4*? Do you have any bidding suggestions? I haven't seen any Resort wins on the Priceline hotel list so I have no idea what I might win....have you heard of anyone winning a Resort on Paradise Island via Priceline? Thank you again.

Hi, this is my first post. I was so excited to find this forum! I would like to use Priceline to bid on a Resort in the Bahamas in New Providence Island - Paradise Island. I looked at the previously won Priceline hotel list on this forum and didn't see any historical Resort category wins. If I look at the regular Priceline hotel section where one can pay (not bid) for a hotel, I see that the only Resort in New Providence Island - Paradise Island is the Atlantis. If I go to the bidding section of Priceline and select Resorts, is there a good chance of me winning the Atlantis? When I looked at the Priceline hotel list on this forum, I saw that others had won the 4* British Colonial Hilton Nassau, which is confusing to me because there is no 4* category to bid on when I look at the Priceline site, so how did people will the British Colonial? I'm afraid that if I select the Resort category I may get the British Colonial, although the British Colonial comes up as a 4* in the regular pay section of Priceline. Hope this post is not too confusing, I am happy to clarify if you need more information. I really want to stay at the Atlantis, and I am wondering if I bid on Priceline for Resort in New Providence Island - Paradise Island, is there a good chance I will get the Atlantis? Thank you in advance!
