0ldog Posted November 22, 2006 #1 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Here is my dilemma. I had never used priceline before and was looking for a one night pre-cruise. I started bidding, hoping to snag one of those real deals like Carbe Hilton for $65, and ended up with The Westin Rio Mar Beach Golf Resort & Spa. The problem is that it looks like it's in the middle of nowhere. Any comments from someone who has stayed there before? Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatbloominplace Posted November 22, 2006 #2 Share Posted November 22, 2006 the westin rio mar is a wonderful resort. however, i would not recommend it for only one day. it is about 45-60 minutes from the airport and about an hour from the pier. a cab or the hotel shuttle would cost at least $50-75 each way. while it is in an isolated area, that is what makes it so nice. when you have a 2-3 day stay, this would be a great place to try. steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orquidia Posted November 23, 2006 #3 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Westtin Rio Mar is in the eastern province of Rio Grande, i do not recommend this resort hotel for a 1 night pre cruise, too much hassle, it is good for a few days not for 1 night. try something close to the port here are some maps that can give you an idea where the ports are and the areas around it ( Isla Verde, Miramar, Condado, Old San Juan) www.distritoculturalpr.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trn68 Posted November 23, 2006 #4 Share Posted November 23, 2006 We are staying at the RIO Mar post cruise. Feb. 3-5th. $120 a night Priceline..... $296 with fee. I have heard so much about the Westin, awesome hotel, but we rented a car via Priceline because of the 40 minute drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tfish Posted November 23, 2006 #5 Share Posted November 23, 2006 What did you pay for the car thru Priceline? What size of car? We're at the Westin for 3 nites post cruise Jan 20-23. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
