rhennosy Posted February 14, 2009 Report Posted February 14, 2009 Please advise. I am looking for a beachfront hotel with a pool for $100 max per night including resort fees. Your help is appreciated. This is a great site.Thanks,Rich
thereuare Posted February 14, 2009 Report Posted February 14, 2009 With PRICELINE you won't know if there are resort fees, and if so how much, until after your purchase... so you'll need to keep your bids low enough to accont for a resort fee (up to $25 i would think to be safe). As well, while i suspect most hotels in this area have a pool, this too can not be guaranteed with PRICELINE, nor with a beachfront location.Based upon your needs it sounds as if HOTWIRE may be a better option for you for this stay... if you search HOTWIRE, do any hotels appear within your budget with a Beachfront and Pool icon?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

rhennosy Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Posted March 25, 2009 I am looking for a beach hotel with a pool. I would like to spend $100 per night or less. Is this reasonable to expect for this time of year? Any advice on getting this room would be appreciated.Thanks,Rich
thereuare Posted March 25, 2009 Report Posted March 25, 2009 Please don't double post... keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread.As per our reply above, with PRICELINE you can't guarantee a hotel with a pool and/or beach. If these are needs as opposed to wants then HOTWIRE will likely be a better option.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Let us know how you'd like to proceed and we'll advise accordingly.

rhennosy Posted March 29, 2009 Author Report Posted March 29, 2009 My sister has decided to join us on this trip. Is it possible to find a 2 room suite on PRICELINE / HOTWIRE or should I just expect to book 2 rooms?Can you help identify a HOTWIRE hotel? It is 3 star, beachfront, fitness, pool, restaurant, business center, laundry, wireless internet, tennis nearby. $80 for my dates.Thank you.Rich

rhennosy Posted March 29, 2009 Author Report Posted March 29, 2009 It came up in the St. Pete Beach zone. One hotel came up as 3 star that was beachfront. I have 2 rooms with 3 adults. It is coming up as $80 with possiblity of $30 resort fee tacked on.I plan to use better bidding links.Thanks for your help.Rich
thereuare Posted March 30, 2009 Report Posted March 30, 2009 If you go back to HOTWIRE and click the CONTINUE button next to this offering and then click the "See all amenities" link under the icons, do you see more amenities than what you've listed above?Thanks for using our PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links.

rhennosy Posted March 30, 2009 Author Report Posted March 30, 2009 When I click "continue" it takes me to the sign in process. As I continue again it takes me to add features like insurance etc. It never gives me more information about the hotel.thanks,Rich

thereuare Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 The above is a match for the Tradewinds Sandpiper Resort so that would be my best guess.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

I got the Tradewinds Sandpiper Resort. Add $25 per night and I am at $95. Their website was $145 so I think I got a pretty good deal. I thought $70 was a low bid, I wish I would have started at $60, but I think it would have taken $70.Thanks for your help.Rich
thereuare Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 Congratulations on your success!Looks like this satisfied all the requirements you set out for from the start... beachfront, pool, under $100. Glad to see you're happy with the results and this should work well for your needs.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Enjoy your stay.
