thereuare Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 The above is a match for Dreams Punta Cana-All Inclusive Resort and Spa so that would be our best guess.HERE are the TA reviews.Please use this HOTWIRE link to begin any purchases you make.Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

cmars1010 Posted January 3, 2008 Author Report Posted January 3, 2008 Ok, great. In the Hotwire hotel list, it has the following 4 star places:Grand Flamenco Punta Cana by Occidental Are you sure it is not that one? I was really hoping it is Dreams, that would be awesome if it is, I am just a little bit afraid it is the Grand Flamenco. Also, how long do you think it will be 89 dollars? do you think it will drop at all? Thanks!
thereuare Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 Are you sure it is not that one?I can't see the name either :), but my best guess is that this is Dreams as it matches the known amenities for that property, while it does not match what has previously been reported for the Grand Flamenco.You could see if this same hotel (based upon amenities and star rating) appears for the first (or last) nite of your stay and then again for the balance of your stay. If so, you can purchase the first nite in order to 'look behind the curtain', if you're satisfied then book the balance of your stay; if not make other plans for the balance. There is a very slight risk that after you make the first purchase the same hotel won't appear when you go to make your second purchase OR that you receive some other hotel with the same exact star rating and ameniteis... both of these would be rare occurance in this instance (imo), but a risk that you would need to be willing to accept.If you split the booking as described please use our HOTWIRE link for each booking (ie- click our HOTWIRE link to make the first purchase, then return here and click our HOTWIRE link once again to begin your second purchase).As far as the price going down, nobody can say, but how much cheaper do you think an all-inclusive property would go for... and remember that the price can also go up OR this property could disappear entirely and no longer be offered thru HOTWIRE for your dates. If your research indicates that this is a good price for an all-inclusive property in this area then i would take it.Let us know what you decide and how it goes or if we can be of further help.

cmars1010 Posted January 4, 2008 Author Report Posted January 4, 2008 Awesome advice. Thanks alot for your help, I appreciate it. This is for my honeymoon, so I am just waiting to finalize everything for the wedding in the next couple of weeks before I go ahead and finalize the honeymoon! I will post back when I do this. Thanks!
cmars1010 Posted January 9, 2008 Author Report Posted January 9, 2008 I am just about to book, the price went up to 93, so I better book now. Does anyone know if there will be additional resort fees? Thanks!
thereuare Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 I don't believe Dreams has a Resort fee. Also, HOTWIRE has started to state any resort fees on their check-out page... although this is new so it may not be up to date for all properties in the system yet.Please remember to use our HOTWIRE link to begin your purchase.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.
