guy44134 Posted March 25, 2010 #1380 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Got the Intercontinental for $134++ on Hotwire for Sat. 4/24. Not sure if that's a great rate or not, but decent hotels seem to be quite pricey that evening. Hope it's a nice place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin KLS Posted March 25, 2010 #1381 Share Posted March 25, 2010 We stayed at the Intercontinental last year pre cruise. Very nice hotel, beautiful beach, friendly staff. Good location. Great bakery across the street to the right in a plaza. $134 is a good price! Congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grape farmer Posted March 30, 2010 #1382 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Just a heads up-we recently stayed at the Condado Lagoon Villas-I believe it's the time share part of the Caribe Hilton, from a bid we won on Priceline. We were not charged any resort fee, though they did make us wait until 4pm to check in which was really aggravating since our plane arrived at noon. It was not an issue of being too full either, because when we arrived they said they had a room that was empty they just needed to clean it and it would just be a little while-2+ hrs later we finally got in. The Lagoon Villas were definitely not full based on the number of people we saw there. Also we were not charged a resort fee, but we did speak with another couple who'd also rec'd their room through a priceline bid though they were in the main hotel and they were charged a resort fee (not sure how much). People staying at the lagoon villas have full access to the resort also. Lovely resort, expensive food/drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guy44134 Posted March 31, 2010 #1383 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Just got the Sheraton Old San Juan for 5/2 after our cruise for $83 on Priceline. It looks very convenient to the main cruise port, but we are arriving at the Pan American pier. It got mixed reviews on Trip Advisor, but it looks to be in the middle of Old San Juan. Anyone have any experiences here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigali2 Posted April 1, 2010 #1384 Share Posted April 1, 2010 So, we needed a room for 1 night on 11/06 and got the Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino after bidding $110. (I began really low and added the non-resort locations and upped $5 each bid and got nothing until I included 4 star). Total with taxes and $5 insurance came to $135.xx. Not bad. I hope I can find more information on this resort within the forum, like transportation, dining options, etc. Thanks for all the posts and info within I got the same place for $90 just now, for August 28-29, for our precruise! I couldnt believe it!:eek::D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrod Posted April 3, 2010 #1385 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Date: 04/24 - 04/25/2010 # of nights: 1 (pre cruise) Hotel: Caribe Hilton Area: San Juan, PR Site: Hotwire Price: $114/night This was the hotel that I wanted! I fiddled around with Priceline the last few days, but my bids kept getting rejected. When I got around the $110 price, I noticed on Hotwire the price was similar today, so I just went with them. Now I have to get a post cruise hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jactoone Posted April 4, 2010 #1387 Share Posted April 4, 2010 I can't get my bids accepted for resort in San Juan. I read to add other areas along with the resort, but I'm afraid that priceline may send me way out. I want a resort in the San Juan Area. Suggestions????

Travel Bear Posted April 5, 2010 #1388 Share Posted April 5, 2010 After 2 days of bidding, success with the Intercontinental 112.00/night plus taxes of 20.90 for a total fo 130.90. I believe there are additional fees at checkout for resort and casino. Can anyone let me know what they cost. I bid resort, San Juan, added 4 star and had to add Cabo Rojos and keep upping bid. This is pre cruise for May 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxsonbrownie Posted April 5, 2010 #1389 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I can't get my bids accepted for resort in San Juan. I read to add other areas along with the resort, but I'm afraid that priceline may send me way out. I want a resort in the San Juan Area. Suggestions???? First off, how much are you bidding? When you bid, are you bidding for "Resort" in San Juan area? If that bid is rejected, you can add a different area, but one that doesn't have a resort, so you will still get something in the San Juan area. You just have to add the other area, for a chance to re-bid. Add Cabo Rojo, or Dorado, as areas to look, as they don't have any resorts in those areas. Then up your bid a little, and try again. I bid : Resort San Juan $90 bid got rejected, so I re-bid after adding Condado, $110 bid accepted, got Marriott Stellis Casino. If you still need help, go to biddingfortravel dot com, that will help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsfecura Posted April 8, 2010 #1392 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I just got the Marriott San Juan Resort Stellaris for 9/11/10 (1 night) for $122. I was pretty happy considering I had a Hampton Inn in Isla Verde reserved for $129! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorey2007 Posted April 10, 2010 #1394 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Do any of the "resort" hotels have any shopping, CVS, Walgreens, grocery store or fast food restaurants:eek: within walking distance?

Thamsey Posted April 10, 2010 #1395 Share Posted April 10, 2010 I got Hilton Doubletree for 95 dollars it is number 2 on trip advisor and reading the reviews people were very happy with this choice/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KATSEKIS Posted April 10, 2010 #1396 Share Posted April 10, 2010 (edited) Has any one tried to win the Embassy Suites on priceline? We would like to stay there post cruise April 25. I tried to get Embassy Suites today, but ended up with San Juan Water and Beach Club. I got it on Priceline with my first bid of $75 for April 25. We have an early flight on the 26th, so it will work out okay since it's very close to the airport. It has some great reviews and some not so good ones, but we will only be there to sleep for one night, so I'm sure it will be fine. And you can't beat the price!!

Cruisin KLS Posted April 11, 2010 #1397 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Do any of the "resort" hotels have any shopping, CVS, Walgreens, grocery store or fast food restaurants:eek: within walking distance? If trying for the Marriott Stellaris should I request San Juan and Condado? Both the Intercontinental and the Marriott Stellaris have a CVS or Walgreens near them. And there is a grocery store near the Intercontinental. Both are great hotels, lots of things close by. -Kristi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
