giadav Posted February 5, 2010 Report Posted February 5, 2010 I am so spoiled!!! I have always gotten a hotel that I want here on priceline. This morning I booked a great flight last minute for this saturday to tuesday 2/6 to 2/9 assuming i would get a hotel. I just bid 4* san juan with rebid zones started at $75 and stopping at $110. all rejected. I assume there is no inventory. Any advise? I will go higher. I would really like to be on the beach. ThanksI have tomorrow to continue trying.
thereuare Posted February 5, 2010 Report Posted February 5, 2010 Although not on the beach, HOTWIRE has 3*-4* properties from $103-$129/nite... have you looked at any of those?Separately i see what i believe to be the Caribe Hilton for $129/nite... would this be of any interest?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

giadav Posted February 5, 2010 Author Report Posted February 5, 2010 OOOOh. you think that is the Caribe because that what I want. The symbols didn't indicate that it was on the beach, so I wasn't sure what hotel it was.
giadav Posted February 5, 2010 Author Report Posted February 5, 2010 Okay. Now the hotel for $129 is different from the one last night. Last night showed fitness center, pool, rest., business center, tennis, spa. Wasn't sure what that was. Today for $129 shows a casino, waterfront, beach nearby. I believe this is the Condado. I was really hoping for the Caribe. I think I will try bidding on PRICELINE one more time. Will let you know.
thereuare Posted February 5, 2010 Report Posted February 5, 2010 Let us know how the PRICELINE bidding goes, if unsuccessful, let us know what is currently showing on HOTWIRE at that time.No, the Caribe Hilton wasn't the original $129 hotel shown, you needed to play with the occupancy a bit.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

giadav Posted February 5, 2010 Author Report Posted February 5, 2010 Didn't have any luck with priceline. Bid up to $125. Went back to hotwire and played with occupancy (3) and saw what appeared to be the Marriott Courtyard for $135. 3 1/2* so I picked that and it was.With occupancy of (2) 4* was what I believe to be the Condado and I really didn't want that.
