takecareman Posted January 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 I am looking for a resort with beach access and the budget is around 110 per night. Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Note that Beach Access is not necessarily guaranteed with a Resort purchase thru PRICELINE and this zone includes areas which are a bit inland. If Beach Access is a must you may want to consider HOTWIRE and purchasing an offer with the Near Beach or Beachfront icon(s).If you want to proceed with PRICELINE, as the Resort level you have SIX 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.Select Resort Rio Grande - Fajardo...Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $105Any questions feel free to ask.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

takecareman Posted February 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 I booked it through PRICELINE.Note: Will Gran Melia still charge the resort fee? Nothing is mentioned in the receipt. Link to comment
yellowdog Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Thank you for sharing your result with the board!Enjoy your stay.Yes, you need to pay the reort fee directly to the hotel. The resort fee is never included in the PRICELINE amount.Please use the site's HOTWIRE and PRICELINE links to start future purchases.Yellowdog. Link to comment
