Airmarshall Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Hot.wire playing games again. I know they are both RIU Hotels, but different price points and both are referring that last bidder got the same (RIU Palace Riveria Maya)I want the RIU Mexico Dates 9/1-9/5 Amenities for the higher price point: Ammenties for lower price point: Free parking Free ParkingFree Internet Free BreakfastResort Free InternetFree Drinks and Food ResortA la carte dining Near BeachFree water activities Free Food and DrinksFree Entertainment A La Carte DiningFree activities Free Water Activities Children's Activities Free EntertainmentFitness Center Free activitiesPool (s) Children's ActivitiesRestaurants Fitness CenterInternet access Pool (s)Golf Nearby Restaurant (s)Tennis Nearby Self Service LaundrySpa Services Internet AccessAccessible Bathroom Golf NearbyAccessible Parking Tennis Nearby Spa Services These resorts are within walking distance from each other, but the RIU Mexico has a modern decor and the other is outdated. Usually I have been given exactly what the "last person got" listed, but how can they list the same hotel at different price points? I'm tempted to buy one night. The Riu Mexico differences are "accessible" ammenties. A conumdrum. any help?? Link to comment
AaronJB Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Are you seeing both at 4.5* or one at 4.5* and one 4*? Please confirm the star ratings for both - thanks.

Airmarshall Posted June 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Both are showing at 4.5* Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 The "Last person got ___" information is in reference to the last person who bought a hotel in the zone at this star rating, NOT necessarily the underlying hotel currently being offered. I'm not seeing two 4.5* rated Playacar hotels when searching for your dates, only one... what is the room rate per nite for each that you're being offered?

Airmarshall Posted June 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 You're right and that one is the Sandos If I change the dates to 9/5 - 9/9 one 4.5 shows with the secend set of ammenities I posted at $209 per night. This EXACT list of ammenties did belong to the RIU Palace Mexico. I really don't want to gamble on this though - may have to pay travel site prices at $247. Will keep you posted if I buy and I always go through this site to bid. Thank you. Link to comment
Airmarshall Posted June 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 The other 4.5 star is also showing for 9/5-9/9 at $179 a night with the first listed set of ammenities Link to comment
Airmarshall Posted June 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Correction- the one 4.5 star showing for 9/1-9/5 isa $211 a night showing the second set of ammenities. I believe the RIU palaces are the only 4.5 * resorts in Playacar. Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Sorry, i'm not following which star rating, zone, and room rate goes with which amenity set. If you'd still like help with the offer(s) above please re-post with the complete star rating, zone, room rate, and amenity set in the same post. If you do decide HOTWIRE doesn't work for your needs for this trip, please book thru our sister site MAPS and HOTELS.com. Let us know whatever you decide or how we can be of further help. Good luck!

thereuare Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Are both of the hotels above showing when searching for the same dates (as posted above, both hotels are for 9/5-9/9... i'm only seeing one 4.5* hotel offered in this zone when searching for 9/5-9/9). Are are you trying to compare the hotel on the left (9/1-9/5) to the hotel on the right (9/5-9/9). Regardless of which set of dates i search i'm seeing the same amenity set for the 4.5* hotel offered in this zone: Free Parking Free Internet Resort Food and Beverages ala Carte Water Sports Evening Entertainment Daily Activities Childrens Activities Fitness Pool Restaurant Hi-Speed Internet Golf Tennis Spa Bathroom Accessible Handicapped Parking What are the actual dates of your stay.

Airmarshall Posted June 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 No, both hotels are listed for 9/5-9/9 Anyway, I gambled and lost. I got the RIU Palace Riveria Maya for $209 per night with the exact set of ammenities I bid on last time for the RIU MEXICO The ammenities for this win are the ones on the right above: Free Parking Free Breakfast Free Internet Resort Near Beach Free Food and Drinks A La Carte Dining Free Water Activities Free Entertainment Free Activities Children's Activities Fitness Center Poool(s) Restaurant (s) Self service Laundry Internet Access Golf Nearby Tennis Nearby Spa Services Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Sorry to see this wasn't the hotel you were hoping for and that you're disappointed in the outcome. While not your first choice, hope this will still work for your needs and you'll find it to be a good value for the price paid. Thank you for sharing your win with the board.

Airmarshall Posted June 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 after getting off the phone with HOTWIRE, both hotels are the RIU Palace Riveria Maya. Same dates, different price points. I bought based on my last stay at the RIU Mexico and the exact same ammenities. It no longer matters, they will only guarantee a hotel in the shaded area, regardles of ammenities listed. My booking is resolved to satisfaction, but just be aware. Link to comment
