Priceline Hotel: Help with Marco Island

[bobcook54]

Looking into Marco Island,Florida....check in 06/22/2010...check out either 06/29/ or 06/30/2010. So far,I've seen nothing on Hotwire and Priceline only shows Resorts as an option. I'm totally fine with a resort,but can anyone tell me which ones that they use? Not much to go on via the boards.

What would be your desired budget per night?

Not really sure.....it is off season then in south Florida. I really would like a condo,but from what I'm seeing,most rent Sat. to Sat. and unfortuntely,we have Tuesday,the 22nd to Weds.30th to play with. I guess I would like to around $80.00 a night.....obviously the lower the better for a quality resort. Thanks for all your past and future help!

Inventory for Marco Island has always been slim. And we have never seen any condo win with PRICELINE or HOTWIRE.

Let us know how we can help you further.

We haven't fully decided on a resort or condo yet. Yes,this is the same dates as my other request....we might stay 4 nights and move on to another area for the remainder of our vacation or stay the whole time at Marco/ Naples.This 4* didn't show up on HOTWIRE when I posted my first request,so now I'm trying to figure out which one it is.Naples area shows up when requesting Marco Island.

Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread.

I'm not seeing this property in the Naples zone when searching HOTWIRE for 6/22-6/26... are you still seeing this property offered on your own HOTWIRE search?

I just tried it again.... asked for Marco Island and this hotel/resort popped up.As long as I started the stay on 06/22

,I got the same rate,$99.00 per night no matter when the check out date was...06/26,06/29,or 06/30. However,if I started the check in date on the 26th leaving the 29th or 30th,the hotel didn't show up! Strange. Started with Naples,FL instead of Marco Island....got same results. Anyway,thanks for your help....any idea now what hotel this is?

[thereuare]

It's not being offered on my own HOTWIRE search for your dates... what is appearing is the Hilton Naples and Towers for $88/nite thru Hotels.com; would this work for your plans?

When I put 2 adults and 1 child,I get my results. When I put 2 adults only,I get your results. Sorry,I didn't mention that there are 3 of us!Didn't realize that it made that much of a difference!

[thereuare]

I see it now...

If you go back to HOTWIRE and click the CONTINUE button next to this offering and then click the "See all " link on top of the icons, do you see more amenities than what you've listed above?

[bobcook54]

The only other amenity is SPA services.

[thereuare]

This property has not yet been reported to the board, but my guess would be the Edgewater Beach hotel or the Naples Grande Beach Resort (this property does have smoking rooms but perhaps only assign HOTWIRE guests to non-smoking rooms??).

Just an update....I ended up booking the 4* Marco Beach Resort directly through the hotel. I saw a 48 hour special on a few websites for $111.00 a night for 06/22(Tuesday),Weds., Thursday,and Friday with an option for $125.00 for Saturday if I choose. Discounted price was $169.00 a night,non refundable. They matched the website price and I paid no extra fees,plus gave me the option to stay Sat night for the $125.00 that I wouldn't have received through the websites(not sure if I'm allowed to mention them here).Looks like a beautiful place....the room is a one bedroom suite with a small kitchenette and stove top. I was going to wait a bit and try to get the Hilton Resort for less than the $141.00 advertised rate,but no cooking facilities.There's just not much reported to this board about Marco. I now will try to find a more kid friendly resort on the east coast around the Fort Lauderdale area for the last 3 or 4 days of our vacation as we fly out of FLL.
