yellowdog Posted January 14, 2014 Report Posted January 14, 2014 Welcome to BetterBidding :) I believe there may have been more amenities than you listed in your post. HOTWIRE has a new interface which is not currently showing the complete set of amenities at the usual point of the search process. Please run a new search using our BiddingHelper.com tool at the top of this page. Once the search is completed, use the EASY VIEW TAB and click the GREEN BUTTON next to this listing to view the complete set of amenities. Then copy and paste the amenities, as well as the price, in a reply to this thread and we will then have a look at this offer.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your purchases and searches.Yellowdog.

yellowdog Posted January 14, 2014 Report Posted January 14, 2014 I'm not sure but my guess would be Bay Palms Waterfront Resort with a slight diffrent amenity combo.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your purchases and searches.Keep us updated on your progress and let us know what you ultimately decide or if we can be of further help.Yellowdog.

thereuare Posted January 15, 2014 Report Posted January 15, 2014 I don't have a guess for the 3* property.... a guess for the 2.5* would be the Bayview Plaza Waterfront Resort (but i'm not certain)Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know whatever you decide to do for this stay or if we can be of further help.

highlander2 Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Posted January 15, 2014 I am not sure if the is the correct place to put this, but I have been bidding on PRICELINE (using the link) for the past few days, I am up to $142 with no luck and no counter offers. There is only one free bid and that would be largo, but I have not used this just in case there is a 3* there that is not known about.
thereuare Posted January 15, 2014 Report Posted January 15, 2014 For what star rating have you bid up to $142/nite?You should NEVER use the Hotel Lists to determine your re-bid zones, the only method that should be used is the one outlined here: Priceline Re-Bidding Explained.Keep us updated on your progress and let us know how we can be of further help.Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.

highlander2 Posted January 16, 2014 Author Report Posted January 16, 2014 For what star rating have you bid up to $142/nite?It was a 3*. We do have a back up that we can cancel.
AaronJB Posted January 16, 2014 Report Posted January 16, 2014 Just to be able to compare, can you provide the back-up and price per night?Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
highlander2 Posted January 16, 2014 Author Report Posted January 16, 2014 Just to be able to compare, can you provide the back-up and price per night?The Dolphin Beach Resort, $143. No resort fee, free internet and parking. The reviews are mixed that is why we are still loooking. Will pay up to the $150 range. There was a good one on Expedia, an unnamed one that I tried to book, it was $141, but I couldn't get the booking clerk kept insisting that I give the actual name of the hotel, he didn't get it that it was an unnamed proberty. It was gone the next time I tried. Last year we got the Sirata and were hoping for that again.

Free parking, internet and no resort fee. The reviews are mixed, that is why we are still looking. Would pay in the $150 range. Found a good unnamed one on Expedia, but the booking clerk said he had to have the name of the hotel to book it, he didn't understand that it was an unnamed hotel. It was $141. Tried to call again, but by that time it was no longer showing. Last year we got the Sirata and were hoping for that again. They gave us a rate of $176, but parking and internet are extra.
AaronJB Posted January 16, 2014 Report Posted January 16, 2014 Expedia's unnamed hotels are provided by HOTWIRE. I believe Travelocity now appears to be offering the same, I wasn't seeing Travelocity's Top Secret hotels when searching a couple of destinations yesterday. Please keep us updated on your progress bidding and let us know if you have any questions.Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE, Expedia or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

highlander2 Posted January 17, 2014 Author Report Posted January 17, 2014 It was gone by the time I tried to, but I am going to keep watching and will definitely use one of the links. Your help and advice is always appreciated.
highlander2 Posted January 24, 2014 Author Report Posted January 24, 2014 I am still looking and seeing a 3* with the following ammenitiesfree internetfree parkingpoolnear beachlaundrysparestaurant$118. It says the last person got the Sirata, but there is a parking and internet fee for that property and it is on the beach, not near. I called and they said that someone did get the Sirata. Now I am really confused. would love to get that one.

I called and they said that someone did get the Sirata. Now I am really confused. would love to get that one.The "last person got ..." message shown by HOTWIRE is in reference to the last person who won a hotel in that zone at that star rating... it doesn't apply to the amenity set of the current offer nor does it say anything about the current hotel offered.I'm pretty sure that this isn't the Sirata. I think your looking at you own hotel The Dolphin Beach Resort.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your purchases and searches.Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.Yellowdog.
highlander2 Posted April 30, 2014 Author Report Posted April 30, 2014 We ended up at the Sirata, booked through another source. This was the property we were aiming for. Will certainly check Hot.wire and Price.Line rates for our next trip. Thanks for your help.
thereuare Posted April 30, 2014 Report Posted April 30, 2014 Thank you for closing this thread with your decision. Please remember to follow-up your threads with your wins/decisions as you make them (even if you don't ultimately use PRICELINE / HOTWIRE, cancel the trip, book direct, etc) as this help keep the board better organized and more useful for everyone... as well as being a courtesy to anyone who took the time to help with your travel plans.
