toonjie Posted January 23, 2010 #1301 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Just wanted to give the heads up for all those using the free re-bid zone strategy. Betterbidding is now listing the Hyatt as a resort in the Dorado area and Priceline is listing the Hilton as a resort in Ponce. So I would avoid adding these 2 areas when re-bidding. I'm hoping to get the Marriott in May so I'll let you know how I make out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snorkeljill Posted January 24, 2010 #1302 Share Posted January 24, 2010 For this "Resort" category property on Priceline in the "Rio Grande - Fajardo - El Yunque" zone, I started bidding at $86 and moved up a few dollars each rebid until I got it at $100, after trying at $98.

Hi,:) I stayed here last year. Its a beautiful property but quite far from the piers, both the Pan American and the Pier in Old San Juan. Hope you are at least staying there for a full extra day to at least take advantage of the beach by the hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 2009. There are 58 photos and some are of the hotel. If you are staying there for 3 nights you need to try the Italian Restaurant. It is a bit pricey but my meal was fabulous:) And the hotel has 2 pools and the lush greenery is lovely all around the grounds.

I am having such a hard time on Priceline for 2/28. I am unsure how to use hotwire. I have tried to look up how to do it on betterbidding.com but I was a little confusing as to what hotel is which. Or if anybody else could help me I would greatly appreciate it. thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunrse1014 Posted January 27, 2010 #1310 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I have been bidding and rebidding on priceline for san juan on 2/28/10 for one night in the resort section. i was trying to get something on the beach. do the four stars have beaches? i have gone up to $125 and haven't received anything.

The best thing to do is to go to betterbidding and the Hotwire Puerto Rico board and take a look at how people post the amenities. Then post the hotel amenities for the hotel you are trying to figure out as well as the percentage of favorable reviews. They will then get back to you with their best guess. You can also do the same thing here and I'll take a look at it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goliath27 Posted February 6, 2010 #1316 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Maybe it depends when you buy it and what time of day you buy it? I'm not having any luck either. ALi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goliath27 Posted February 10, 2010 #1320 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Just won a bit for the Caribe Hilton on Priceline for $88 for 1 night on March 21st! Good luck! that's Odd, I have tried that price before with No luck. I just tried 85 bucks today for San Juan Resorts and they asked me to increase my price by 22.00 and I chose not to. My next option was to edit my location details so I added Cabo Rojo and increased my price to 88.00 and got the Condado Lagoon Villas At Caribe Hilton? Is that the same place you got or is that another form of Hilton? Booked from the March 19-21st! ALi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosieo Posted February 11, 2010 #1321 Share Posted February 11, 2010 We just got the Caribe Hilton for $90 for April 3rd. It actually came us as Condado Lagoon Villas At Caribe Hilton. I do hope it is the same as the Caribe Hilton. By looking at the website it seems like it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grape farmer Posted February 12, 2010 #1323 Share Posted February 12, 2010 We just got the Condado Lagoon Villas at the Caribe Hilton too -$90 for 3/20, plus I believe they'll hit us up with a resort fee when we get there. They look to be the timeshare section of the Hilton, so hard to say what the rooms will look like, but at worst it's only one night, and at best it will be great!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulos128 Posted February 15, 2010 #1325 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Just returned from San Juan and stayed at the Caribe Hilton. Our room was in the Condado Lagoon Villa building on the fifth floor. Two queen beds with fridge and balcony looking over the lagoon and ceiling fan. Only negative is some construction on the bridge on the other side of the lagoon (for 10 years now). Some noise if you plan on sleeping until noon. Really liked this hotel and were well pleased with the grounds and pools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
