priceline only shows 3 5* hotels on their site

Four Seasons

Pan Pacific

Pacific Rim

Im thinking Pan Pacific since the other two are much higher in price? Any thoughts?

Also I noticed on here that someone got the Shangri-La listed by them as 5* in nov 2013, I dont see this hotel on priceline at all. Im wondering if they slip others in not listed on their site?

Please advise I'm trying to book 3 rooms

PRICELINE's bidding 'Name Your Own Price', PRICELINE EXPRESS, and 'retail' sections of their site all use a different universe of hotels, so you shouldn't expect all possibilities to appear on the 'retail' side of their site.

The hotel with the lowest retail rate is usually not a good indication of the hotel you will receive as there is a low correlation between the two (a higher correlation if one hotel is $200 and the other $500, but if one is $250 and another $300, that isn't a good indication as to which one you will likely win as one hotel may only discount their rates 10% while another property may be willing to discount 50%)

With the above noted, i think the Pan Pacific is a likely possibility, but i wouldn't rule out the Four Seasons Hotel or the Fairmont either.

Let us know what you decide and how it goes or if we can be of further help.

I will do, thank you so much for your assistance. I don't think I can go wrong either way as they all are close to the cruise port.
