vijay Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Greetings, I am travelling to San Juan Aug 6 - Aug 10. I unsuccessfully bid $90, $100, $110 for a resort in San Juan over priceline.1) Any hints on making this bid work?2) Priceline shows the total cost including taxes and service fee. However, it says there MAY be resort fee. If so, how much additional or hidden costs should I be ready to pay at check-out?Please help me out! Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 What is your maximum bid?Do you have a back-up reservation? (if so, where and how much)Not sure it will make much of a difference for these dates, but is SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID an option?

vijay Posted July 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Thank you very much for replying!My maximum bid depends upon the answer to my question below:2) Priceline shows the total cost including taxes and service fee. However, it says there MAY be resort fee. If so, how much additional or hidden costs should I be ready to pay at check-out?Please reply! Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 You can't know for certain what the Resort fee will be, but if this is a 'breaking point' for you then you can use our Priceline Hotel List to visit each website and see the resort fee charged.I think the Hilton is ~$12/day, the Marriott i think is a percentage (10%?) of the room cost... don't remember the details of any of the others.
