  1. I'm sure we will have a great stay and today I learned about hotels and resorts:) Thank you for your offer of help. Betterbidding has alrady been a great help to me!
  2. When searching I looked for 4 star and saw that there were only 2. There is the Conrad listed on Priceline for $239.00 and La Concha $339.00.The Marriott San Juan Resort And Stellaris Casino shows a price of $209.00. I saw where you could bid on Resorts but wanted to go for the 4 star. I'm new to this, this is my 2nds transaction with Priceline and I did not realize that even though I was looking at 4 star hotels they could slip in a resort. I've learned my lesson. I will never bid on a 4 star again. I think it is a easy way for them to get bids for resorts. They booked me with the lowest price resort they had available. If I had bid the same amount just on resorts I may have got a nicer resort if price is an indication of quality. The price is better than booking direct, but I don't appreciate the "bait and switch." They need to keep resorts separate and if someone wants to bid on them that is their choice. Yes, I should have read all the fine print and not looked at what was flashed in front of me. 4 stars.

  4. Today I bid on 4 star hotels in San Juan. My bid of $152.00 was accepted for Feb.27,2010. They gave me a "resort" Marriott San Juan Resort And Stellaris Casino. If I had wanted a resort I would have bid on Resorts and put in a lower bid than 152! I called Priceline and of course was told they won't and can't cancel a bid. They said this resort was equal or higher than a 4 star. I wonder if that is the case why the 4 star hotels are priced so much higher? So, in the future I know there is no point to bid on a 4 star, I may as well bid on a resort and be happy with what I get it for

  6. Thanks, I used your board to help me. I got it for Room Subtotal: $110.00 (USD) (first try) Taxes and Fees: $20.50 (USD) Total Room Cost: $130.50 (USD) Listed direct for: The lowest price direct: USD 209.00 + charges & taxes = USD 254.98 Of course after I'm thinking maybe I should have started lower where I got it on the first try, but for March, at a peak time, I'm very pleased! :)
