Priceline Hotel: Punta Cana, DR

[Fitti18]

The list of Priceline hotels does not have any hotels listed for Punta Cana. Any idea what hotels are getting assigned for those bids?

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!

Although most all-inclusive have children free...

I haven't found this to be the case.

So is there any idea what is coming out for Punta Cana 4* and resorts in Punta Cana? How are extra guests handled?

Done.

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.

Thank you but the Hotwire option is not all inclusive or an attractive option.

[thereuare]

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.
