jmuls Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 Hi, I am planning a trip to the DR from March 15 to 21st. I do not see any recent ( 2 years) wins on either priceline or hotwire. I am planning on bidding for a 5 star on priceline and see where it goes. I did find 3 different 5 star on hotwire and could use a hand identifying them to see if I am correct as a fail safe if the bidding dose not work 1 .5 star 361 $ Casino- fitness pool-restaurants- business center self laundry Free internet-n parking 2 5 star 425 $ air port shuttle- free food- free activities - pool- restaurant - self laundry Free internet n parking 3 5 star 369 $ Fitness- pools - restaurant - Golf n tennis Near by - free parking and internet All in Bavaro---- I am guessing the casino is the Ibreostar, and Paradisus is one or both of the others. the website for paradisus is tough to decipher but has a casino in one place as well i think. Thank for your help and happy travels Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Use the search box on the top right corner of the board, entering 'Punta Cana' or 'Barvaro' (depending upon exactly what you're looking for) and you'll see all posts (and wins) that include this in the topic title. Another option is if you use our Priceline Maps, click a hotel name in the list that appears on the left side of the page and you'll see all the wins for that property. In regards to your trip above, if your gameplan is to first bid on PRICELINE, there is little point in taking the time to research the hotels above, as the hotels currently offered may not be the ones available once you're read to consider them (or maybe the price has changed substantially that they're no longer an option)... or maybe your PRICELINE bidding is successful and it's not necessary to look into any of the ones above. In regards to the HOTWIRE hotels above, there are likely more amenities then what you have posted 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. (you should be using this method for all of your PRICELINE and HOTWIRE searches/purchases) So, if you'd like to move forward by first bidding on a hotel, is the 'Punta Cana - Bavaro' zone the only acceptable zone or are there others that you would like to include in your bidding? What is your maximum bid (per nite before fees/taxes) for this trip? 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. Let us know the information above and how you'd like to proceed and we'll take it from there.

jmuls Posted February 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 closing the thread, My girlfriend got her hands on the computer ( LOL) . She booked the Barcelo bavaro palace deluxe 4.5 stars for 250 ish. Hotline had it at 510. She got the golf included so I am not sure where that leaves us but the room was lisated without golf for 265ish on the barcelo website. I guess i have to play free golf which only cost 80 buck a round to rent clubs n cart LOL Link to comment
