It happened to me twice, thus i decided to let other travelers know about this painful situation. I booked a 4 star hotel in Punta Cana with amenities listed in a previous post. Hotel i got was Now Larimar Punta Cana. Hotel refused to honor the rate and booked me into sister property NH Punta Cana, a 3.5 star hotel with different amenities that those listed in the hot rate offering. After 10 days, i decided to book another 4 star all inclusive hotel in PC (reported in a previous post). Amenities were different and the rate for 2 adults was 3X (times) higher than the previous booking. Hotwire ended up booking me at the same Now Larimar Punta Cana property, and they AGAIN refused to honor the reservation and bumped it to the sister NH PC property. Hotwire and the hotel have communication and rate issues one another. If you end up with the Now Larimar as your confirmed hot rate hotel, i suggest you call the hotel after 24 hours and CONFIRM if the issue between them and Hotwire has been resolved, because if not, the hotel will bump you to the NH. Now Larimar is a 4 star All Inclusive Resort and the NH Punta Cana is a 3.5 star city hotel. One is next to the other. NH does not have a Casino, is not a Resort and is not Near Beach. BEWARE!!
