dieselgetaways Posted March 10, 2005 Author Report Posted March 10, 2005 $150 per night would be around my max (preferably with taxes and fees all in).Thanks!

dieselgetaways Posted March 10, 2005 Author Report Posted March 10, 2005 I would still say my max would be $150 before taxes and fees.
thereuare Posted March 11, 2005 Report Posted March 11, 2005 To begin you need to understand re-bidding, which is explained here: PRICELINE 72 HOURS. Please read the previous link and ask any questions that you may have and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board to avoid and potential mistakes.At the 4* level you have five re-bids available, and this is how i would bid:Select 4* South Beach...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone3...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone4...Bid $125, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* South Beach and re-bid zone5...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone3...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone4...Bid $150.Any questions feel free to ask.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

D-Rock Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 Dieselgetaways..... did you have any luck with those dates?
dieselgetaways Posted March 19, 2005 Author Report Posted March 19, 2005 Thanks for all your help!I just did it today and I got the Royal Palm Crowne Plaza for $135/night. I was kind of hoping for the Marriott but for the price I am happy with what I got.Thanks again!

alaskamt Posted March 22, 2005 Report Posted March 22, 2005 I LOVE this hotel. I stayed there last spring for $75 a night and am trying to get it 4/30 - 5/3 for some reasonable amount. I was hoping to keep it around $100 per night. It has a really nice pool and great beach. The staff was very pleasant and the rooms were OK. We had a view of the beach/ocean and watched our cruise ship leave the first night we checked in (post-cruise). And it was a close walk to lots of good shops and restaurants. Nexxt Cafe was my favorite. I tried mojitos at every bar within walking distance, never found a bad one. Have a great time.
