unknown786 Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 I am trying to work out which 5* hotels are available in Palm Jumeirah. From what I can tell, the only available hotel is Jumeirah Zabeel? Dates are 27/10 to 01/11. Also interested in Sofitel Dubai Jumeirah Beach but risky as do not want to get Bonnington or Ibn Battuta (using priceline hotel list)! Link to comment
thereuare Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 There are plenty of other 5* hotels in the Palm Jumeirah zone than the one you listed above. What is your maximum budget (per nite before fees/taxes) for this trip? Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.

unknown786 Posted October 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Really? I couldn't find a list of them! My maximum budget is $175 per room (I need two rooms) - that is based on Dubai also having 20% tax!! Link to comment
thereuare Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 There are more than this, but all of the following are 5* rated by PRICELINE, and (i believe) in the boundaries of this zone: Rixos The Palm Dubai Waldorf Astoria Dubai Palm Jumeirah Sofitel Dubai The Palm Resort and Spa Sofitel Dubai Palm Apartments Fairmont The Palm, Dubai Anantara Dubai The Palm Resort and Spa Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases. Let us know how you'd like to proceed and we'll advise accordingly (although with rates of 5* hotels in this zone starting at $350+ i don't think a $175 maximum bid price is likely in the right ballpark at the moment).

unknown786 Posted October 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 I would be happy with any of those. I could probably stretch to $220 at an absolute maximum! Link to comment
thereuare Posted October 8, 2016 Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 Wen bidding 5* in this region you have THREE re-bid zones. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding. (NOTE: 're-bid zone1 is not the same as priceline's Zone1, 're-bid zone2' is not the same as priceline's Zone2, etc, etc) Select 5* Palm Jumeirah Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone1... Bid $175, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE... Select 5* Palm Jumeirah and re-bid zone2 Bid $190, if rejected add re-bid zone1...

unknown786 Posted October 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 Sorry - just to be clear - when you say "add re-bid zone1" is this not the first zone shown on priceline? I.e. Al Barsha - Mall of Emirates? Link to comment

Correct, it is not the first zone listed by PRICELINE... otherwise you would have 14 re-bid zones. Al Barsha - Mall of Emirates is not a re-bid zones since they offer 5* hotels. See Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and let us know if you're able to identify and confirm with the board your THREE re-bid zones, if not, post back and we will break it down further for you.

unknown786 Posted October 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 OK - so based on the above the only areas I can see that do not have any 5* hotels are Ghantoot Racing and Polo Club and North Dubai (using Priceline search). So based on that for my second bid I can add Ghantoot and for my third bid North Dubai? Link to comment
unknown786 Posted October 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 I note that Silicon Oasis does not have any when I click on it - but according to Priceline search there is one! Link to comment
thereuare Posted October 8, 2016 Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 What is the 5* hotel that PRICELINE search indicates is offered in the Silicon Oasis zone? Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment

One that I wouldn't mind staying in haha! Guess that solves the problem. Many thanks for your help so far - much appreciated! Link to comment
thereuare Posted October 8, 2016 Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 Which one is it... as maybe that's not the only 5* hotel in that zone (just like the Jumeirah Zabeel isn't the only 5* in the Palm Jumeirah zone.
