tbdb2 Posted February 21, 2009 #927 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Anyone ever successful on bidding for the Hyatt in Dorado PR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucyonthesea Posted February 21, 2009 #928 Share Posted February 21, 2009 It's really nice, not quite as trendy as its South Beach counterparts. It's right on Isla Verde Beach, has waterfalls in the elevators, which also have no ceilings and has a great rooftop bar and pool with a great view. It also has one of the best restaurants in the Caribbean, Tangerine. I took my wife there the night we got engaged and we had a great time. Drinks and food aren't cheap though, but everything is really good! Toonjie thanks for the info, It has very mixed reviews on Tripadvisor. Seems people either love it or hate it, not much in between. Can't wait to see it for myself. Carolyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda74 Posted February 22, 2009 #929 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I got the Marriott Stellaris for May 16th, one night precruise. I used all of my free bids, starting at $99 and won at $124. With taxes it is around $152. I bid resort, 4 star and 3.5 star. I am happy with this. I had bid $137 for a cruise in November and got the El San Juan Hotel and Casino. We could not go on that cruise and when I informed Priceline of how ill my late husband was, they refunded all but $25. I was really surprised and touched by their response....so I will use PL again and again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which should I use...Priceline (I've used once before) or the other one?? What is a reasonable bid? I don't think it is too early to bid for November. However you can't choose what hotel to bid on so you have to be willing to accept whatever hotel they give you. Hotwire will allow you to see the star level and the amenities. There is no bidding - you just choose to buy that hotel room at the listed price (only you don't know what hotel it is). Sites like betterbidding.com will help you narrow down what hotel it likely is (but of course there are no guarantees). I would start my bidding at $75 and work my way up from there.

lovemylab Posted February 24, 2009 #932 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Just won the Sheraton for two nights pre-cruise. Nov 27th-29th for $90 a night on priceline ($217 taxes inc). Started bidding resort, then 4* and than 3.5* which was accepted. Would have been happy with any of the hotels in these categories so that is why I started at a resort level and worked my way down. Also got the intercontinental for one night post-cruise on Dec 6th. Also on Priceline. Bid resort and used two of the free re-bidding zones. Bid was accepted at $90 ($112 taxes inc). Very, very happy with both wins :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reader0108598 Posted February 24, 2009 #933 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Just stayed in the Intercontinental San Juan at Isle Verde. I had got a price of $150 on Priceline. But upon checking out the hotel charged me $20 plus tax per night "resort fee.":( Do all Hotels in san juan charge a resort fee? Thank you Reader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeniferlyn Posted February 26, 2009 #934 Share Posted February 26, 2009 If I want to bid on the area that includes the Marriott Stellaris, do I bid on San Juan, resorts on priceline? Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relayer4 Posted February 26, 2009 #935 Share Posted February 26, 2009 If I want to bid on the area that includes the Marriott Stellaris, do I bid on San Juan, resorts on priceline? Thanks... yes, but there are several resorts in that zone that could be won using Priceline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lois R Posted March 5, 2009 #938 Share Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) What a great price! You will love the resort. Make sure you join their frequent guest program, Wyndham by Request and Wyndham Rewards, it's free and you'll get an upgraded room and separate check-in. We got a super room even though we got it through Skyauction, click on my AOS review link and scroll to the end for tons of pics of the resort and loads of info on what to do in the area. Congrats again! :) Hi toonjie:) I don't remember if I ever came back here after my Jan sailing. I stayed at this resort (thanks again for all your help:)) and I agree it is lovely but personally, unless I am staying for 2 or 3 days I won't be staying here again. I ended up getting in around 4pm (flight landed on time but by the time I got to the resort it was 4ish) For a one night stay I will choose Old San Juan again or may try the beach. Its just too far for overnight and then back to the ship. The resort itself is lovely, right on the beach and stuff but as I said, for one evening? Not for me. Oh, I did eat in the Italian Restaurant for dinner on the property and the food was FABULOUS:D...pricey, but really, really, good:) Anyway, you live and learn!:) Edited March 5, 2009 by Lois R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's way too far for one day, especially getting in that late! It's a maybe if you got in on the first flight of the day and could visit El Yunque, but not getting in that late.

Yumagal Posted March 9, 2009 #940 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Just got The InterContinental for one night 5/17, for $139 plus tax totaling $163.24 on Hotwire. I see in the fine print there is a $14 per room per night fee to be collected when you check in.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DING-DING Posted March 10, 2009 #941 Share Posted March 10, 2009 i also need May 17th, but everytime I check Hotwire the highest level room they have is 3.5 star. Did you request 4 star or 3.5.

jamiddl Posted March 11, 2009 #942 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I just pricelined the Marriot San Juan Resort and Stellaris Casino for $125/night for 8/9-8/11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yumagal Posted March 12, 2009 #943 Share Posted March 12, 2009 It was listed on Hotwire as a 4 star with the following amenities: Resort, beachfront, restaurant, casino, pool, laundry, high speed internet, business center, tennis nearby, and spa services which was listed last . You have to click on the link below the list of amenities that first come up when you select the hotel to see spa services. Hope this helps. The last few times I looked, the 3.5 star hotel appeared to be the Normandie based on the trip advisor stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILgirl Posted March 27, 2009 #948 Share Posted March 27, 2009 We want a room at the Sheraton Old San Juan pre cruise, 11/13 and 11/14. I've used Priceline several times in the past with great results. I've also gone to betterbidding and I'm not sure I understand. If I do use Priceline and put in 3 1/2 stars, is it possible that I might end up with the Embassy Suites (same star rating) OR the Sheraton Old San Juan? We definitely want to be in Old San Juan so I am a little hesitant about proceeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan Posted March 31, 2009 #949 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Just won the Intercontinental Resort on Priceline on my first bid. I should have bid even lower, but am happy with the result: February 7-8 Resort Zone 6 Bid 110.00 accepted We will be staying here post-cruise.
