Nel Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Trying to get El Conquistador for a trip. Using Priceline Express, I'm seeing two 4* options in the Rio Grande - Farjado Area. August 15-17, 2016 Option #1 $87 Rated 7.0 out of 10 Guaranteed Amenities: Restaurant Fee Internet Indoor or Outdoor Pool Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities Option #2 $85 Rated 7.0 our of 10 Guaranteed Amenities: Pets Allowed Business Center Restaurant Free Internet Indoor or Outdoor Pool Casino Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities Not sure if either of these are the El Con, or other hotels in the area.

thereuare Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Please confirm all dates on the landing pages... Best guess for this 4* Rio Grande - Farjao hotel for $87/nite with the amenities above would be the Gran Melia. Golf Resort Puerto Rico. Best guess for the $85/nite property would be the Wyndham Grand Rio Mar Beach Resort and Spa with: Pets Allowed Business Center Restaurant Free Internet Indoor or Outdoor Pool Casino Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.

Nel Posted July 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Ended up not using PRICELINE to get a hotel. Thanks for the help. Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 So what did you decide to do for this trip? When closing your threads it's more helpful to others if you post what you did do for the trip... not just what you didn't do. It would also be appreciated if you used our sister site MAPS and HOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases. Hope you enjoyed your stay.

Nel Posted August 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 We decided to wait until the last minute to find something, otherwise we'd get an apartment rental. I do have a few questions about the HOTWIRE options for these dates. Can I put the request here or should I create a separate one? Thanks Link to comment
AaronJB Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Please let us know when you are ready to book, as inventory changes often on HOTWIRE. If you have a question about a particular listing, please provide the full list of amenities, price per night before taxes/fees, star rating and zone. Additionally, with about a week until your stay, this is essentially "last minute", as hotels likely know at this point what to expect in terms of traffic for your stay period. Thank you for keeping us updated on what you decide and let us know when you are ready to book. Please post any HOTWIRE questions in this thread.

Nel Posted August 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 I'm seeing the following 4 options and I'm trying to figure out which is which, specifically if one of them is the El Conquistador Hotel. August 15-17 Hotel #1: 4* - 95% Recommended $100 $175 Amenities: Airport Shuttle, Beachfront Hotel, Casino, Fitness Center, Oceanfront Hotel, Pet Friendly, Resort, Smoke Free Rooms Hotel #2: 4* - 75% Recommended $114 $175 Amenities: Airport Shuttle, Beachfront Hotel, Business Center, Fitness Center, Pool(s), Resort, Restaurants, Suite Hotel #3: 4.5* - 80% Recommended $179 Amenities: Airport Shuttle, Business Center, Fitness Center, Near Beach, Pool(s), Resort, Restaurant(s) Hotel #4: 4* - No Recommendation % listed $155 Amenities: Business Center, Casino, Golf Nearby, Tennis Nearby Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 I believe there are more amenities then what you have posted above as HOTWIRE has a new interface that does not show the complete set of amenities unless you search using the EASY VIEW TAB of our BiddingHelper.com tool. If you repeat your search using our BiddingHelper.com tool... use the HOTWIRE EASY VIEW tab and then click the GREEN BUTTON next to this listing, do you see more amenities (including any accessible amenities) then what you have listed above? The 4.5* hotel above is priced at $179/nite... would you be willing to pay this for the El Conquistador?

Nel Posted August 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 You're correct. Revised with full amenities below. And if the $179/night option is the Conquistador, then I'd probably just book it directly since that's right around the current advertised rate: Hotel #1: 4* - 95% Recommended $100 $175 FULL AMENITIES: Free Internet, Resort, Pet friendly, Beachfront hotel, Oceanfront hotel, Casino, Airport shuttle, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Golf nearby, Tennis nearby, Spa services, Children's activities Hotel #2: 4* - 75% Recommended $114 $175 FULL AMENITIES: Free Internet, Resort, Suite, Beachfront hotel, Airport shuttle, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Golf nearby, Tennis nearby, Spa services, Children's activities, In-room accessibility, Wheelchair accessible, Accessible bathroom, Accessible parking Hotel #3: 4.5* - 80% Recommended $179 FULL AMENITIES: Free parking, Free Internet, Resort, Near beach, Airport shuttle, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Golf nearby, Tennis nearby, Spa services, Children's activities, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Accessible parking, Roll-in shower Hotel #4: 4* - No Recommendation % listed $155 FULL AMENITIES: Free Internet, Casino, Fitness center, Business center, Internet access, Golf nearby, Tennis nearby Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 I don't believe any of the hotels above are the El Conquistador. I had asked regarding the $179 rate since if that is not an option for purchase then it's not worthwhile to research, but i did notice that it could be booked HERE for an all-in price less than the all-in price of the $179 hotel above.
