GENERAL QUESTION

This is first time for Mexico, and I am wondering if anyone has general experience w/Hotwire vs booking in advance with Apple as prices vary depending on resort even with same star rating--e.g., one 4.5 star may be $220 a night and another $395--depending I assume on popularity, facilities, newness, etc.

My fear is that I may use Hotwire and get the same $220 room available on Apple for $200 when I'd rather pay extra for the newer, more popular hotel (for example) if I knew what the hotel was. Know what I mean? So I guess the general question is: folks who've used hotwire for Mexico, have you been pleased with the outcome?

Thanks for using our links for your purchases... it would also be appreciated if you also shared your wins/results with the board, helping other users to come just as you have been helped by the previous users before you who took the time to share their results :)

I'm traveling right now and researching All-Inclusive properties is time consuming and much eaiser for me when i'm at home, unless somebody else adds a reply in the interim, please bump this thread on Tuesday and i'll have a look then.

Are you still seeing this property offered on HOTWIRE... i'm not showing any 4.5* offered in this zone for your dates above.

If you are still seeing this property offered, are you searching for more than one room or for more than the default 2adults/0children?
