thereuare Posted July 28, 2013 Report Posted July 28, 2013 Welcome to BetterBidding!We are looking for a 4 star beachfront hotel in el Condado... I noticed that it doesn't mention beachfront property under the ammenities.If it does not mention Beachfront then there is a pretty good chance that it is not.However, 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? Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

anieves Posted July 28, 2013 Author Report Posted July 28, 2013 Sorry for the confusion the dates are from 8/27/13-9/3/13.
thereuare Posted July 29, 2013 Report Posted July 29, 2013 My guess for this property would be a new amenity set for the Caribe Hilton, however if you are interested in this property i would purchase it a little differently. Change your search to 2adults/2children and a 'new' 4* hotel is offered in this zone with:Free Internet Beachfront Fitness Pool Restaurant Business Tennis Spa Blind Accessible Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Wheelchair Accessible Bathroom Accessible Handicapped Parking Roll-in Shower This amenity set has previously been associated with the Caribe Hilton. Although i do speculate that this property, and the one offered when searching for 2adults/0children, are the same, i would purchase as per above (even if it's $2-3 more per nite) as it guarantees you a beach, whereas if you purchase the previous property and our guess is wrong and the hotel it's more inland, you'll have no recourse with HOTWIRE. DO NOTE that although the pool area at the Caribe Hilton is great, the 'beach' at the Caribe Hilton is more like a man-made beach on the bay and not a wide expansive beach that you can go for a walk on... for the 'real' beach in San Juan you want to look more at the Isla Verde zone, imo.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know what you decide to do for this stay and how it goes or if we can be of further help.

anieves Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Posted July 30, 2013 Got it.. so by adding the two children to the search does that means i will automatically get a room with two beds and if i do can i change it?Also, i found this other deal.. tho i prefer beachfront this one It's a good deal and seems to have good reviews:3.5* Condado$114 other sites$79Free internetnear beachFitnessPoolRestaurantBusinessLaundryhigh speed IntGolf nearbySpaAccessible for blindAccessible for the deafAccessible path travelIn room accessibilityAccessible bathroomHandicaped parkingRoll-in showerI'm not familiar with Isla Verde, is there's any hotel that you recommend that's around the price range i had mentioned and at a beachfront location.Thank you for your help,Annette
thereuare Posted July 30, 2013 Report Posted July 30, 2013 Booking for 2adults/2children ensures sleeping accommodations for everyone in the search, and while this often means 2 beds, it could be one bed plus a pullout sofabed or rollaway brought into the room. If assigned a room with two beds you could request a room with one bed, but the hotel may not be able, or willing, to honor your request (NOTE: even when booking for 2adults/0children you could be assigned a room with two beds and the ability to switch to a room with only one bed may or may not be possible). After you book you could call the hotel and request a room with only one bed, or wait a few days and then call and inform them that you found somebody to watch the kids and would like to let them know that you'll only be two people now and would like a room with only one bed (same rules apply that the hotel may or may not be able to honor your request).Best guess for the 3.5* Condado property would be the Doubletree by Hilton San Juan.I don't see anything in Isla Verde near this price point.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know what you decide and how it goes or if we can be of further help.

anieves Posted August 2, 2013 Author Report Posted August 2, 2013 Thank you so much for all the advice. We decided to go with El Caribe Hilton and we were able to get it for $93 using the secret hot rates. I was really skeptical not knowing the name of the hotel but after all your advices i felt comfortable. REally happy that we were able to get the hotel we wanted for such a great price!! This is a great tool and i will be using it again!! Thank you again!! :)
