Priceline Hotel: Help Bidding for a Priceline 4.5 star Punta Cana (Bravaro) hotel

[lovelyladycda]

Can someone please help. I am trying to book a 5 night stay at a 4.5 star all inclusive in Punta Cana (Bravaro) for 1/10/14 - 1/15/14. I am thinking to bid around 150 but i don't know what my Max should be. Also, I don't know what the possible hotels can be. Are the "name your own price" hotels the same as the hotels available on the website? Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated.

In terms of your max, what would be the most you would want to spend?

You can see the list of hotels reported to the board here: Priceline Hotel List Puerto Rico/Caribbean

The hotels on the retail side do not necessarily participate on the bidding side. Finally, if you are looking for all-inclusive I'd say go with HOTWIRE instead of PRICELINE.

Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

On the bidding side of PRICELINE if you select the 'Punta Cana - Bavaro' zone then at the 4.5* level ALL INCLUSIVE is listed as a guaranteed amenity, so you could use PRICELINE if only bidding this zone and only at the 4.5* level.

My guess is that this will likely take more than $200/nite, but you do have plenty of re-bid zones so we can suggest a strategy that starts low and works up to your maximum bid... how high are you willing to bid for a 4.5* all-inclusive property for this trip?
