Hotwire Hotel: Puerto Rico Suggestions for a Bachelorette

[binamistry]

Hi,

Trying to decide whether to stay at a resort or in Isla Verde for a friend's bachelorette... We are leaning towards Isla Verde, but the Hilton Carib rates look really good... Any suggestions on whats better for a party & site seeing location, and hotels that I should be looking at in those areas?

Has anyone stayed at or heard anything about the Marriott Courtyard Isla Verde?

Thank you,

Bina

I think the Isla Verde would be better than the Condado area (where the Caribe Hilton is located) as there is more to do in the immediate walking distance. As well, if a beach is important to you, the Condado area hotels mostly have man-made beaches whereas the Isla Verde area is a 'real', almost Caribbean-like, beach.

However, if you intend to use PRICELINE, both of these areas, as well as the Old San Juan area, are all included in the same zone, so you won't have much choice relative to where you stay or what hotel you receive. With HOTWIRE you'll have a little more control if you're able to take an educated guess as to the hotel offered, but still no guarantees, and you'd likely be better off seeing what is offered on HOTWIRE (once you have confirmed the number of rooms and guests that you'll need) rather than try to figure out a hotel and then hope HOTWIRE offers it.
