dcksbsbll0644 Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Priceline has the following express deal listed: 12/30/17 - 1/4/18 4 Star Hotel - All Inclusive 8+ Guest Rating 20+ Reviews $439 per night (20% Savings) I assumed it was going to be RIU Palace Tropical Bay - All inclusive, because those details match exactly. However, when I click it I get the following message on the reservation page "Good news! Pricing and inventory fluctuates constantly and we can now offer you this deal at a lower price." This new deal is all of the same details above, except for the price changed to $390 per night (24% Savings). It also says somebody recently booked the hotel for $509.84. These new prices don't seem to match with RIU Palace Tropical Bay (Booking it normally is $547 on priceline) Does anybody have any thoughts? Could there be another hotel hidden that isn't listed as a normal booking option? I really want RIU Palace for the $390 per night price, but am nervous there could be a hidden hotel. Thanks!

AaronJB Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Welcome to Betterbidding. I'm seeing on PRICELINE EXPRESS (please confirm the dates of travel on the detail page after clicking the link below.) 4* Negril - Hanover for $390 Business Center Restaurant Indoor or Outdoor Pool All Inclusive >>>I'll guess Riu Palace, but not certain in this case. The $509 'recently booked' isn't necessarily for your dates. Are you looking for something particular in terms of hotel? Would any other nearby zones be acceptable?

dcksbsbll0644 Posted November 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 Thanks for your input! I'm not real picky. I just want something 4 star or higher in Negril. Looking at the options in my price range, RIU Palace seemed like a good deal. I'm just worried there could be a hidden hotel that I haven't looked into yet and will get stuck with it. Link to comment
thereuare Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Since this an extended stay you could see if this same property is offered for the first (or last) nite of your stay and then again for the balance. If so, you could purchase the solo nite in order to 'look behind the curtain'. If you're happy with the results purchase the remaining nites, if not, make alternate plans for the balance of your stay. Are you only looking at Negril? What is your maximum budget?

dcksbsbll0644 Posted November 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 Ended up booking for 12/30 - 1/5 instead and got RIU Tropical Bay like I was hoping for through the 4 star all-inclusive PRICELINE EXPRESS Deal. Thank you all for the help! Link to comment
