cardsfan Posted September 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 I learned something new, didn't know to click on furthur for more info. - thanks for the tip.Add to my original list:SpaChildren's Activity4 out of 5 on Tripadvisor.Tripadvisor had the Don Caesar listed as a 5 *, and has a spa.Tripadvisor had Tradewinds Island Grand listed as a 4*, but I did not see a spa listed.Please advise your best guess as to what hotel.Thanks.I will use your HOTWIRE link to purchase.

(guessed at which 4 star hotel)Hotel website= $417. woo hoo, I'm happy as a clam.(keep in mind a $28 per nite resort charge would be added to all the those prices) includes, free parking, cabanas on the beach , in room safe, beach towels)And I used your link to PRICELINE to bid.

cardsfan Posted September 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 I started bidding at $55 moved up a few dollars each day, won at $62.For comparison: total bill with taxes:Priceline $218.Hotwire $247 (An educated guess on which 4* resort)Hotel website $417.To ALL the above rates a $25. resort fee per day applies- includes parking, beach cabanas, in room safe, beach towels, heated pool. Which I have in writing from the hotel. They were kind enough to fax it to meBEFORE I bid. I didn't want to take a chance they could raise it at check in.Keep that resort fee in mind when you bid.I used your link to PRICELINE.thanks cardsfan. Link to comment
