jacqueusi Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Trying to decide which hotel to go with, the 4* that has a 95% Recommended rating, or the more expensive 5* with a 90% Recommended rating. Having a name to go with the property would help greatly. Amenities: 4* Free parking, Beachfront hotel, Business center, Fitness center, Golf nearby, Internet access, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Self-service laundry 5* Free Internet, free parking, Beachfront hotel, Business center, Fitness center, Pool(s), Resort Restaurant(s), Suite Looking to purchase today, and of course through the Betterbidding link. Will report back my choice and hotel ID. Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 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. (always use this method for your searches/purchases) If you repeat your search using our BiddingHelper.com tool... use the HOTWIRE EASY VIEW tab and then click the GREEN BUTTON next to each of these listings, do you see more amenities (including any accessible amenities) then what you have listed above? Using this method, below is the full list of amenities i'm seeing and our best guess / comments for each: 4* Hotel Zone - Convention Center for $152.00 Free Parking Beachfront Fitness Pool Restaurant Business Laundry Hi-Speed Internet Golf Spa Blind Accessible Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Bathroom Accessible Handicapped Parking Roll-in Shower ==> InterContinental Presidente Cancun Resort 5* Hotel Zone - Convention Center for $275.00 Free Parking Free Internet Resort Suite Beachfront Fitness Pool Restaurant Business Laundry Hi-Speed Internet Golf Spa Childrens Activities Bathroom Accessible ==> best guess here would be the Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach Cancun, but if you are interested in this one i think it is the same property offered thru the following link / description for less (always confirm your dates on the landing page of any provided links): 5* Cancun Hotel Zone North for $219 Business Center Restaurant Free Internet Indoor or Outdoor Pool Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.

jacqueusi Posted January 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Thank you for your help! Advice was spot on. Difference in price between Priceline Express and Hotwire was about $13/night. That paid for our ocean view upgrade. Amenities: Business Center Restaurant Free Internet Indoor or Outdoor Pool Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities Link to comment
jacqueusi Posted January 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 I went the Priceline route. By the time I checked, the PRICELINE EXPRESS price changed to $263/night. Still better than Hotwire. I tried bidding, $210, failed so I added the Cancun Airport (no five star). Rebid at $220, no go. Priceline sent me a 10% off coupon for PRICELINE EXPRESS, that knocked the price down to $236, so I figured why risk additional bidding for the less than $16/day difference in price. Win posted in Priceline Forum, but just in case, PRICELINE EXPRESS amenities: Business Center Restaurant Free Internet Indoor or Outdoor Pool Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Congratulations on your success! Glad to see you received the hotel you were hoping for and that you're pleased with the results... probably even more so since you took some of the savings and put it towards an upgraded room! Thank you for sharing your win with the board. Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases. Enjoy your stay.

jacqueusi Posted January 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 An update. It turns out the extra $15/night upgrade for an ocean view room was a mistake. After a bit of research, the resort has a Grand Club room experience. Essentially, another floor or floors at the resort, separate check in, breakfast and lunch included, use of non-motorized beach equipment, etc. I was offered the upgrade for $150/night. I could have applied the $15/night savings towards the Grand Club upgrade. Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Sorry to hear the room upgrade was not what you were expecting, but hopefully you still had a great trip!

thebetterbidder Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 Hello, I am evaluating to choose an hotel in the Cancun Hotel Zone North Area. There is a 5-Star Express Deal Hotel. The offered Deal is a 2 Double Or 1 King - Non-Smoking - Junior Suite - Ocean Front Question: How do I know if the offer is "All inclusive"? There is no information on that.. Are the 5-Star hotels in Cancun Hotel Zone North always All inclusive? Thanks. Link to comment
