5 Star Hotel - South Beach - Central - Art Deco District. I tend to believe it's the Kimpton Angler's Hotel, but there is no availability on their site, or on Priceline's and the price doesn't seem right. Do you know what other options? Sept 5-10, 2019 - $105/night Amenities: Free Internet Available Pets Allowed Outdoor Swimming Pool No Smoking Rooms/Facilities Handicapped Rooms/Facilities Business Center Spa Free Internet Access Swimming Pool

I was getting that they were unable to confirm my reservation, something about availability, etc., but they still charged for the insurance fee. I was FINALLY able to get it to work just fine this morning. I officially got the Holiday Inn Resort Aruba, which was what I hoped for, based on location and resort amenities!!! Thank you so much! And your coupon worked just fine also! I'll call to get the first insurance fee credited. How do I post international express deal wins? Thanks again for giving me the confidence to pull the trigger!!!

I tried to book the priceline deal... keeps giving me an error message. I'll try again in the a.m., hoping it doesn't go up more!

Is it normal for hotwire's fees to be that much higher? The nightly rate was only $6 different!

I thought so for both, but hotwire's fees are over $500, bringing the total to nearly $2000, and Priceline's is $1600! I didn't know how that link worked...trying again! :) Thanks!

PRICELINE LISTING: 4 Star Casino Hotel Palm Beach - Oranjestad, Aruba Dec 31, 2018 - Jan 7, 2019 $183 per night Amenities: Swimming Pool, Non-Smoking Room/Facilities, Fitness Center, Business Center, Casino, Restaurant --this one was $167/night yesterday!!! ugh... HOTWIRE LISTING: 4 Star Resort in Palm Beach Dec 31, 2018 - Jan 7, 2019 $189 per night Amenities: Free Internet, Free Parking, Beachfront, Casino, Fitness Center, Pool, Resort Restaurant, Smokefree

I will use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links. It seems I'll do better with a package then! I'll watch for a week or so--

I know that I can get packages from Priceline from Washington, DC area pretty reasonably right now (of course without knowing flight times--not too important since we'll be there 7 nights--did this a few years ago with no problems). i.e., the Luxor for $494, Treasure Island $527, MGM Grand $560--per person--7 nights in a hotel, and round trip air. There are 2 of us. But--right now I can get Southwest direct flights for $438 (total including fees) and am interested in seeing if there's a chance I might be able to get a better hotel deal. Considering I can book us on Priceline for under $1000 already, I'd like to say that I want to spend $500 for 7 nights. I want to be on the strip, and having stayed at the Luxor for 2 prior years, the south end is fine with me. I do not want the Trump as my other half is a smoker and we like to gamble and want an on-site casino! Suggestions? PRICELINE or HOTWIRE? Bid now? Wait? I'm a newbie so bear with me! Thanks in advance!
