thereuare Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread and only post the amenity names (and not the descriptions) as you can see how much easier it is to read and helps minimize the chance that we'll miss an amenity when researching your trip.ResortBeachfront PropertyFitness CenterPool(s)Restaurant(s)Business CenterHigh-Speed Internet AccessGolf NearbyTennis NearbySpa ServicesChildren\'s Activity ProgramFree ParkingComplimentary BreakfastFree InternetIn-room accessibilityHandicapped parking My best guess for this property is The PUNTACANA Hotel.If you're looking to bid on PRICELINE what star rating would you be seeking?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Fitti18 Posted May 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 I would want a 4* or a resort. But since this is a vacation with more than 2 people, I'm concerned about what hotel we'd get and what the extra charges might be for the children in the room. Although most all-inclusive have children free, I would not want to get stuck with a crazy bill when I arrive children in tow. Thanks for all your help! Link to comment

Fitti18 Posted May 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 So is there any idea what is coming out for Punta Cana 4* and resorts in Punta Cana? How are extra guests handled? Link to comment

thereuare Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 How are extra guests handled?It's up to the hotel, and basically you're hostage to them setting the price. I would think that HOTWIRE would be a better option in this scenario since you can include up to quad occupancy in your search and the price will include any child(ren) that you include in your search.Let us know how you'd like to proceed and we'll take it from there.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Fitti18 Posted May 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Thank you but the Hotwire option is not all inclusive or an attractive option. Link to comment
thereuare Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Thank you but the Hotwire option is not all inclusive...Didn't know this was a requirement.There are at least a half dozen or so all-inclusive properties in this zone at both the 4* and Resort levels, so as with most PRICELINE bidding, you won't be able to target a specific property, and you'll also have the double/quad occupancy issue... i thin both of these aspects are fairly substantial risks, but if you'd still like to try bidding let us know your maximum bid and we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
