Rather than bump every thread for this area asking how much you should bid i have separated one of your posts and started a new topic for your stay.

Please supply the dates of your stay (and the if you have a maximum bidding limit) and we'll advise accordingly.

i am looking to spend <$200 for airfare and $100 for hotel.

i can get westin our lucaya for $60 a nite plus 4k starwood miles. island view, king sized.

There is no way to differentiate the Westin from the Sheraton when bidding on Priceline... are you willing to accept either?

If not, i think you can pinpont (or at least have a very high likelihood) of getting the Westin on Hotwire.

If you go with Priceline i think you can be successful at about $70 (but will be subject to other resort hotels in the area), while what i believe to be the Westin on Hotwire will cost about $95/nite.

Whethere these are good prices or not relative to you using Starwood points depends upon the value you place on a Starwood point.

Let us know and if you want to go forward we'll advice on exact figures with priceline or identifying the Westin thru Hotwire.

hi

1) i am not sure if i understand. it will be $95 for the westin on hotwire or priceline?

2) after looking at the precipitation link in the bahamas, i am thinking it might be better to go somewhere else.... any alternatives? taking into account everything!?

thanks

cj :)

Sorry, i wasn't clear, the $95 was on Hotwire (i'll edit my original post for clarifcation).

Hard for anyone to recommend a vacation for somebody else as we don't your likes and dislikes... but i'm partial to cruising.

[luzer]

thanks. i dont think cruise is my thing.

i am looking for a quite resort location that has a nice westin. Bahamas, Virgin Islands, that area.

Lately i am looking at Westin Resort and Villas St. John.

my biggest concern right now, is to get nice weather for early September.
