thibau Posted January 17, 2013 Report Posted January 17, 2013 Hello!It's been a whille since my last post.I'm trying to get something thru priceline in Islamorada or Key West. My preference is the Cheeca resort in Islamorada.I started searching in Hotwire (using you r link), but only to have a idea of prices, and I found one that in think is the Cheeca:4,5* Islamorada area hotel from May 22nd thru May 24th US$158 with Free Parking - Beachfront Property - Smoke Free Rooms- Fitness Center - Pool(s)- Restaurant(s) - Business Center - High-Speed Internet Access - Golf Nearby - Tennis Nearby - Spa Services - Braille or raised signage - Accessible path of travel - In-room accessibility - Accessible bathroom - Handicapped parking - Roll-in showerWith that in mind what do you think I could get from priceline!?The Cheeca os not my only option and my preferences are Resort and 4,5* in Islamorada, Marathon or Key West. I know Key Largo has a Marriot Resort but by what I saw the beach at that resort is not so good.Thanks a lot. Best Regards.
thereuare Posted January 17, 2013 Report Posted January 17, 2013 Please start by following-up your Hotwire Miami thread with whatever you ended up doing for that stay.Then, in regards to your Florida Keys trip, based upon what you believe to be the hotel you want being offered at $158, how high are you willing to bid for an 'unknown' hotel of this star quality? (i'm assuming at some point as you get closer to $158 having the 'known' (or 'suspected') hotel you want is worth a few dollars extra per nite?)Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.

thibau Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Posted January 18, 2013 I got back to the Miami post and answered it. (at the ned I didn't use Hotwire or priceline)About the keys, I want a good resort to stay (the better I can get for the price of course), the one I said is a good reference that I would be glad to get it, but at that level any thing would be good.In priceline I guess I would go as high as 130.00 (considering the 158.00 option of hotwire)cheers
thereuare Posted January 18, 2013 Report Posted January 18, 2013 ...my preferences are Resort and 4,5* in Islamorada, Marathon or Key West.PRICELINE does not offer any Resort class properties in the Marathon zone, so we will only use Islamorada and Key West in a bidding strategy.With time on your side i would use a 2 day strategy and bid as follows:Select Resort Islamorada...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $100, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select Resort Key West...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $100, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select Resort Islamorade and Key West...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $110If the above is rejected wait 24 hours and once again starting with the PRICELINE links on the board, re-try:Select Resort Islamorada...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select Resort Key West...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...Select Resort Islamorada and Key West...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130Any 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.

thibau Posted March 28, 2013 Author Report Posted March 28, 2013 Follow the indicated strategy and after several attempts my final 155,00 offer was rejected, so I went back to hotwire where my choice went up to 200,00 (originally it was 157,00).therefore I decided to give priceline one more try, offered 165,00 and got the Cheeca Lodge and Spa, for may 22nd - 24th.many thanks and regards!!!
