Hotwire Hotel: 3.5* San Juan for Jan 23-27, 2013 for $130 Help Please!

[Fred&Lily]

We need 3 1/2* or 4* on or near the Isla Verde Beach for 4 nights January 23 to 27, 2013 and I won't settle for anything but that beach area. Hotwire says "near beach, Casino, smoke free rooms and grey area says $202/night on other sites which it shows at $130. Could this be Courtyard Marriott, Isla Verde or Hilton's Embassy Suites Isla Verde?

I'm not currently seeing this property offered when searching HOTWIRE for your dates... are you still seeing the above on your own search? If so, are you searching HOTWIRE for more than one room or for more than the default 2adults/0children?

If you are still seeing the above, what is the full list of amenities associated with this property? (you may need to go to HOTWIRE and click the SHOW ME button next to this offer (the one with the price in it), then on the ensuing page click the 'See all' link under the amenities, to see the complete list of amenities)

It is still listed on Hotwire.com for 23/01/13 to 27/01/13 which is four nights, one room two adults. Same $130 with normal retail of $202 in greyed-out.

Amneties: Pool (s), Business Center, Casino, near beach, Fitness center, smoke free rooms

53 rates for San Juan, Puerto Rico hotels

Wed, Jan 23 to Sun, Jan 27 | 1 room, 4 nights, 2 adults

The first listing is 4* for $175

The second listing is a 3 1/2* area condo for $153

The third listing is what I'm looking at which is San Juan area hotel $130

Could it be Verdanza or Embassy Suites, which I would buy - but not if it's something along the Condado Beach.

BTW- Betterbidding helped me get the Courtyard Marriott Isla Verde same dates in January 2012 for $100/night - I want the same this coming trip!

Today, about 12 hours after I looked at the Hotwire listing last night, the amneties have changed slightly: Now has Restaurants and High Speed Internet Access.

Still at $130 but on the CAD currency bar lists at $129.

I'm not sure if the current property is showing only Restaurant and Internet or these in addition to the other amenities (or if any others are shown). This is what i'm currently seeing for the 3.5* property for your dates:

Near Beach

Casino

Smoke Free

Fitness

Pool

Restaurant

Business

Hi-Speed Internet

My best guess for this property would be the Radisson Ambassador upgraded to the 3.5* level since the last time it was reported to the board.

Searching for an Isla Verde beach resort for Jan 23-27. Hotwire offers 3.5* for $112 which I believe is Verdanza because of the Supervised Children's Activities. Don't want this one.

But this 4* at $165 I do want if it's The InterContinental. Can anyone confirm?

I'm sorry, I didn't close this topic correctly. Our party changed the cruise date to February 7 - 14 so now I'm hunting for pre-cruise of Feb 3-7 and post-cruise of one or two nights.

 

It's further complicated by trying to get everybody in the same hotel along the Isla Verde Beach area while one couple can't afford anything better than maybe 2*

 

So the plan I've hatched is to put them in the Coral By The Sea Hotel (I've used twice and no bed-bugs seen) and let them use our room key to come and hang out at the InterContinental or whatever we get at 4*

 

One year we snagged at end of January the Courtyard Marriott Isla Verde for 4 nights at $99/night using this Betterbidding and Hotwire sites.

 

So, thereuare, the bar has been set very high with the "old lady" and she wants the same sort of deal again as well as for her friends!

Our plan is to wait for Boxing Day and book the post-cruise, see what we get and then go for the pre-cruise booking.

Let us know once you're ready to book and we will have a look at what is offered at that time, as the hotels (and prices) currently available may not be the ones that you're offered once you're ready to book.

Also, once you're ready to move forward, let us know the total number of rooms/adults/children you will be booking for as this too can change the hotels offered.

Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.
