gomez925 Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Hi all,I've used Betterbidding in the past- I was able to get a steal on our honeymoon trip to Oahu! Now, I want to book a trip to Cancun for our 3 year anniversary. Time sure flies when you are having fun!Two quick questions- is there anyway to use Priceline and bid for a Cancun area hotel (or rather Riviera Maya area hotel) and get only an all inclusive resort? Also, since we are looking at going during hurricane season, does anyone know if there would be a refund policy on either Priceline or Hotwire if there was in fact a hurricane that prevented us from going?That being said, I have been looking on Hotwire and have found three interesting hotels. I was hoping to get help identifying them?1. 3 1/2 star Playa Del Carmen, Playacar area all inclusive hotel, $135/nightNo percentage recommended.Amenities include:Free Parking Beachfront Property Food and Beverages Included A la Carte Dining Options Evening Entertainment Included Daily Activities Included Children's Activity Program Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Golf Nearby Tennis Nearby In-room accessibility Wheelchair accessible Accessible bathroom Handicapped parking All-Inclusive 2. 4 star, Playa Del Carmen, North area all inclusive hotel, $140/night70% recommendedAmenities include:Resort Beachfront Property Food and Beverages Included A la Carte Dining Options Water Sports/Ocean Activities Included Evening Entertainment Included Daily Activities Included Children's Activity Program Fitness Center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business Center High-Speed Internet Access Spa Services All-Inclusive 3. 4 star Riviera Cancun, Puerto Morelos area hotel, all inclusive, $128/night70% recommendedAmenities include:Resort Resorts offer a complete destination experience.

thereuare Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 In this region you can't bid on an all-inclusive property (at least not at this time)Best guess for each of the HOTWIRE properties is inline below:1. 3 1/2 star Playa Del Carmen, Playacar area all inclusive hotel, $135/night--> Riu Playacar All Inclusive2. 4 star, Playa Del Carmen, North area all inclusive hotel, $140/night--> no guess3. 4 star Riviera Cancun, Puerto Morelos area hotel, all inclusive, $128/night--> Ocean Coral and Turquesa Resort 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.Good luck!

gomez925 Posted September 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Just wanted to close out the post-After doing more research on the area and hotels, I decided to just do a package deal on Expedia. It was going to cost about the same (a little cheaper actually when figuring in airfare) than bidding on the hotel and having to get airfare separately.We booked airfare and the Hotel Marina El Cid in Puerto Morelos for around $812 a person. I just wanted to say thanks for your insight. It was helpful learning what I could get through HOTWIRE before booking our trip. I will definitely be using betterbidding in the future for all my trips! Link to comment
