Priceline Hotel: 5* or 4.5* Deluxe in Palm Beach, FL

[jmbfilter]

I didn't see anyone reporting 5* hotel wins in West Palm Beach area. Has anyone had experience with the high end hotels in this area? It looks like the 5 star option only comes up in Palm Beach area, which I think has Ritz Carlton and The Breakers maybe. The 4.5 * Deluxe option is the highest for N. Palm Beach Oceanfront/Singer Island.

Anybody have any idea what hotels I'd be bidding on in these areas and anybody have any winning bids for this? I'm looking to travel the first week of June...

Welcome to Betterbidding.

Unfortunately, no hotels at these levels have been reported to the board so which hotels are participating on the bidding side remains unknown.

What would be your desired budget per night and exact date/s of travel?

Welcome to BetterBidding!

In the Palm Beach zone the Ritz Carlton and Four Seasons would each be a possibility, but there could be others as well.

The Marriott Singer Island would be among the possibilities at the 4.5* level in that zone.

Let us know if/how you'd like to proceed and we'll take it from there.

The Ritz Carlton was listed yesterday for a resort view room for a great price of $260 a night. I should've jumped on that then (it is back at $650 for ocean view). But it does give me an indicator that regular price for the 5 star hotels can be ~$250, so I guess my target per night cost is around $130.

I just want to research the hotels first to be sure I don't get something too unexpected.

With PRICELINE NYOP, since there is no information provided other than the star rating and zone boundaries, there is no way to target, or avoid, a specific hotel in the zone.

I clicked on the HOTWIRE link and searched for my dates 6/2/2013 - 6/8/2013 for 2 rooms.

The highest rated hotel option I could find was a 4* hotel in Palm Beach for $118 per room / per night, before taxes and fees. Can someone help me identify the hotel? I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old, so knowing which hotel it is (to research the kids program) would help a lot.

The short list of amenities are...

Amenities:

Free Internet, Resort, Pet friendly, Boutique Hotel, Beachfront Property

The full list is as follows

Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread.

Best guess for this HOTWIRE property would be the Omphoy Ocean Resort.

Thanks, I agree it does seem to be the Boca Raton Resort, Waldorf Astoria. I think there is also a Beach Club of this line, but the Hotwire deal says "Near Beach", which is what the resort property says. I will most likely go with this one and will confirm my win if I select it.

Question about a Hotwire secret hotel for Palm Beach: There is a 4 star offer that I am suspecting is Palm Beach Marriott Singer Island Beach Resort & Spa hotel, however when you look at the map, the section that is highlighted for this deal does not actually include Palm Beach Marriott Singer Island Beach Resort & Spa. If you look at the map, there is a small area called "Singer Island Area" which, when you select it, the 4 star deal is not offered.

But, if you click on Palm Beach Area, it shows a 4 star deal that seems to match the Palm Beach Marriott Singer Island Beach Resort & Spa hotel. Even if you hover over the "here's a hint" it mentions this hotel. Is it possible that this offer is for that hotel, even though it actually is not in that area? I'm tempted to go with this deal if it is...

Updating post with the deal info.

Location: Palm Beach

Star rating: 4-star

Check-in date: Sun, Jun 2

Check-out date: Sat, Jun 8

Amenities:

Free Internet, Resort, Pet friendly, Boutique Hotel, Beachfront Property

$267 $118 per night

Or am I way off and this is some other hotel like the Omphony? The free internet is throwing me off here...

It seems someone else had a similar experience: Hotwire Palm Beach

If the hotel is not in the shaded region of the zone then i would assume it is some other property. Occasionally PRICELINE and/or HOTWIRE will make a mistake and include a hotel in the wrong zone, but this is a rare occurrence.

Just a note, it is interesting how the prices fluctuate. This one that was $118 yesterday is now $116 today. Minor fluctuation, but interesting.

Best guess would be Omphoy Ocean Resort hotel.

Please remember to use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board and let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help with this stay.

Okay, thanks for you input. If this is the Omphoy, that would be a big disappointment. Despite their higher price, I like that hotel a lot less. I will not risk it then.
