TravelPhotographer Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 I see Curacao bidding offers one zone & all star levels...?The Curacao PRICELINE hotel list only has:"Resort Marriott4* Hilton Curacao4* Renaissance Resort and Casino"Am I missing a more complete list? Link to comment
AaronJB Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 The posted lists provide the hotels that have been reported to the board and are not complete lists of all possible bidding hotels. New hotels are reported often.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches. Link to comment

Gallus50 Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 You know, it sounds like there's an opportunity at 4* here. If they countered with $85, you might be able to get it for less on PL. Seems worth trying to stretch to $70 or $75 to get a 4* on an island that might not have the nicest 2*. I have traveled in Curacao and say this with all due respect. It is a European island and I'm sure a 4* would be much nicer, for an amount that's not that much more than your limit. Link to comment

thereuare Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Based upon the PRICELINE counter-offer it would seem that you'll be successful for a 4* at $85 or under... i only gave a quick look at retail rates for these dates, but this would be a pretty good deal, no?Thanks for using the PRICELINE links on the board for your bidding.

Gallus50 Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Personally, I'd go to $75 or $80 and be done with it. You know that if worse comes to worse, $85 should do it. Link to comment

Gallus50 Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 We stayed at the Curacao Hilton at the beginning and end of our trip. The hotel is very nice and the service was good. I paid a regular AAA rate of $155 a night, so $75 is a real bargain. Good job. They upgraded us to a nice ocean view room; they might do the same for you. We also walked to a nearby restaurant on the beach; I think it was called Hooks Hut. We liked it and the ambiance was great. Have a nice trip. Link to comment
