yenoham64 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 Hey all. Great site. I am traveling to San Juan Puerto Rico March 7 - 11.I have gotten these options from hotwire:1) A 4* @ $114ish with 90% hotwire approval:CasinoFitness CenterPool(s)Restaurant(s)Business CenterGold NearbySpa Services2) A 3.5* @ $103ish with 90% hotwire approval:Fitness CenterPool(s)Restaurant(s)Business CenterHigh Speed Internet AccessWe think that option #1 is Conrad San Juan Condado (judging from previous posts). Any ideas? We are hoping that option #2 is Courtyard by Marriott San Juan Isla Verde Beach Resort. Can anyone confirm it?The issue is that depsite being rated 4*'s and a bit more expensive on hotwire that Condado has pretty bad reviews on most sites. Also the regular prices on most non bidding websites have Condado as the less expensive hotel than Marriot. Which is contradictory to hotwire's pricing if we are reading the descriptions right.Help!
thereuare Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 Welcome to BetterBidding!I agree with your best guess for the 4* being the Conrad Condado Plaza.However, the 3.5* has not yet been reported to the board, and i don't have any reason to believe it's the Courtyard Isla Verde (it could be, but i have non reason to believe it is)... my best guess is that this one is the Sheraton Old San Juan Hotel and Casino with a new amenity combination (but if you're interested in this property i think i have a better way to play it)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.

yenoham64 Posted February 24, 2011 Author Report Posted February 24, 2011 Sure! What's better route to take with that? Priceline?Thanks again.
thereuare Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 If you change your search to 4adults/0children a 'new' 3.5* appears in this zone for about the same price (it should be within $2-3 dollars) with:Casino, Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Hi-Speed Internet, Business, TennisWhile my best guess for the 3.5* above is the Sheraton Old San Juan, it has never been reported with that amenity set before. However, if you change to 4adults the property above is the most recent amenity set used by the Sheraton Old San Juan, so i have increased confidence in my guess that this one is most likely the Sheraton Old San Juan; therefore, if you're trying to target this property, the 4adult search would be a bit better way to play it.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.

yenoham64 Posted March 4, 2011 Author Report Posted March 4, 2011 Confirmed. We just booked 3.7 to 3.11 for 110/night (the price fluctuates so wait it out and get 110 or 108 rather than 114 or 118) at the Conrad Condado Plaza, which was the 4* option mentioned in this thread. Thanks for the help. Great site.
