Honda67 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 I'm a seasoned traveller...but totally new to the Hotwire/Priceline way of travel! It appears I can save quite a bit of money ~ Let's face it, many of the regular rates are just silly compared to the lack of updates that hotels have had in recent years with the economic conditions. I've been checking and figuring out some of the hotels offered, but have hit a roadblock for San Juan, Puerto Rico area in identifying. I've looked for my dates 2/28-3/5 thru the link on this site (Hotwire), and of course, the price has gone up $19/night since I checked earlier.Here are ALL the amenities listed (yes, I did click the link to see all of them :) 3 1/2 starsBeachfrontFitness CenterPool(s)RestaurantBusiness CenterTennis NearbySpa ServicesWas $119, now $138 plus 15% resort feeHilton Caribe possibly? I have two places that I really prefer & have seen on the Wins Board, but haven't come up as option for me yet! Thanks for your help!
thereuare Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 Welcome to BetterBidding!These amenities do match those of the Caribe Hilton, but that property was last reported to the board at the 4* level. It's possible that this property has been downgraded to the 3.5* since last reported, and i'd speculate that this is the case, but can't say for certain.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know what you decide to do for this stay or if we can be of further help.

thereuare Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 The amenities above match those of the Courtyard by Marriott Isla Verde so that would be my best guess for this one.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.
