AaronJB Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 If you click on "see details" to go to the detail page, then click "see all amenities", are there additional amenities showing beyond the ones above?Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

The-Bartender Posted December 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Thank you so much for your reply. I did indeed click on "see all" before my original post and I have included all amenities. one other thing of note is that HOTWIRE states "we are still gathering reviews for this property"Thanks again for any and all help!

The-Bartender Posted December 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Price raised to $111 since last hour Link to comment
thereuare Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 A property with this exact amenity combination has not yet been reported to the board, but the Oceanpoint Suites is close and that would be my best guess for this property, but i wouldn't be at all surprised if it turned out to be something different.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

The-Bartender Posted December 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Thanks so much for your time and help!I have eliminated Oceanpoint because it comes up in the same Hotwire result as a 3.5* Key Largo Area Condo. It's a transparent result through Hotels.com (but it appears on the same hotwire search result that produces the 3* mystery hotel I am inquiring about) I doubt I will book it because I am traveling with a toddler and I want to be sure of any hazards around the pool/beach area. I can't thank everybody enough who tried to figure this out.I will probably be booking something else and will be sure to use the betterbidding PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links! Link to comment

thereuare Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Congratulations on your success!Hope you're pleased with the results and that this will work well for your needs this stay. Interesting the difference in star rating, we'll have to keep an eye on this... it is possible that the property has different classes of rooms and one is 3* rated and the other 3.5* rated OR that HOTWIRE will still show a Hotels.com offering when the star rating is different than its own.Thanks for helping us update the Hotwire Hotel List with the new amenity combination for this property.Thank you for sharing your results and using the HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your purchase.Enjoy your stay.

Travelling Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 It's also interesting that when I do a search for my dates (9 Jan - 10 Jan 2011) the same two hotels come up (identical icons) but the Hotels.com is cheaper ($97 excl taxes, $112 incl taxes) compared to the opaque Hotwire offering ($100 excl taxes, $121 incl taxes).It's a good theory about the different rooms. I stayed here several years ago and from reading things since then, there does seems to be a big variety of different rooms (I suspect this is because they are privately owned and so differ quite a bit).I haven't started a new thread as I am not planning to use Hotwire or Priceline for this stay now.
