Hotwire Hotel: 4* Destin (Miramar Beach) Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort

[jrk]

Beware of the following Hotwire "Secret Hot Rate" trick: it makes you think you'll be staying at Hilton Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, as this is the only 4-star hotel that shows up when you do the standard rate search. Instead, you'll be staying at one of many locations of the Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, which sell for much less than Hilton. So actually, this was not a deal at all, since for example Expedia advertised the resort for the same price of $139, and with no fees that Hot.wire charges.

 

Lesson learned but not a big deal - the stay was actually very nice.

Sorry to hear you were disappointed in the deal you received for this property.

I think part of the lesson is that the 'retail' and 'opaque' side of HOTWIRE use a different universe of hotels, and you therefore can't use the 'retail' side of HOTWIRE to determine what you will get thru the 'opaque' side of their service.

Can you please add a reply to this thread with the amenities HOTWIRE shows for this property when viewing your purchase history using the MY ACCOUNT link on the top right of their home page.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Thanks.
