nitad Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 I need to book a room with two older sons. I was just going to go with one room that had queens and pay outright at the Conrad for a low rate, but it would be nice to have 2 rooms and/or a nicer hotel. I would love to get La Concha which seems to be the only 4* in San Juan or the Marriott Stelaris or Intercontinental Resort. I know I may still get the Conrad in bidding as that is what seems to be coming up so any help would be appreciated. Thank you! Link to comment

nitad Posted May 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 I am not really sure. I was hoping to get two for the price of one. la Concha going for 199 on some sites. I suppose that being said would it be unrealistic to try to stay around/under 200 for final bid? Link to comment
thereuare Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Rates are not high for these dates, but i wouldn't be using the La Concha for comparison purposes as it is not one of the more frequently won properties... you'll more likely be upgraded and receive one of the Resort class properties OR the Sheraton Convention Center (which was recently upgraded to the 4* level)Is the Sheraton Convention Center (note that this is different than the Sheraton Old San Juan) an acceptable hotel/location? If not, do you want to only bid the Resort star level?Also, note that when you place your bid it is per room per nite, so even if bidding on multiple rooms you would still only enter your bid price per room per nite. Is $100 your maximum bid price for this trip?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

nitad Posted May 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 I don't think I want the Sheraton. yes 100.00 is my max bid. I will be resorts only. Thank you for the heads up on the per room bid. That is an oversight I might have made. Link to comment
thereuare Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 When bidding Resorts in this region 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 San Juan...Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone...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 $100Any 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.

nitad Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 I won the Caribe Hilton for 75.00. I didn't want this hotel as it seems out of the way, but I know it used to be a beautiful place. I hope everyone likes it. The price is definitely right. Thank you for all of your help! I really appreciate this board and the confidence you all give me in bidding. I'll post my win over in the priceline section. For some reason I mistakenly started this here in hotwire. Link to comment
