Priceline Hotel: 4* Grand Cayman Marriott

[wildcat]

Hi,

Could you please help ID the following location:

Grand Cayman

4*

$165/nt

Amenities: Resort, Beach, Oceanfront, Smoke Free, Fitness Center, Pool Restaurant, Business Center

Dates: Nov 8-14 2009

Grand Cayman Beach Suites lowest rate currently for these dates= $225/nt

Marriott Grand Cayman lowest current rate for these dates= $190/nt

I am hoping for the Grand Cayman Beach Suites. Really I would like to Priceline this same room because the current rate online is only $225 and I think I could get a better rate, but I feel like people have only been winning the Marriott lately. Does Priceline not have the Cayman Beach Suites? Any recommendations about where to start the priceline bid at?

Thanks for your help...

1. Do you know if priceline has been offering this property?

2. Also, if this is the hotel listed on hotwire, is it more likely to be the winning priceline hotel?

3. Lastly -- do these hotwire rates typically change as we get closer to the date of the hotel stay -- should I wait because I am still 2-3 months away?

1. The board got no report of this hotel as a PRICELINE hotel

2. No.

Thanks for your help.

We bid on priceline for 4* for these dates and received the Marriot Grand Cayman for $90/nt. We are very happy.
