OC PAT Posted April 20, 2011 #1951 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Bid separately of course and got this resort for $112.00 plus $20.67 taxes for 12/10 and 12/18/11. We were there this past December and had super rooms and enjoyed the location. When I was bidding I checked Ponce-Guanica on the bidding list and there were no listings for resorts, however, if you look at the listings where you do not bid I bet the resort(s) in question are listed there. Hence, the confusion. I think. Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence, the confusion. I think. Thanks for the help! Yep, that sounds right. Just showing the list of resorts shows several different areas. But when you actually go in to start bidding for a property, the only 2 areas that show resorts are San Juan and Rio Grande. So maybe if you pay for one of their listings at their price, you have different hotels available. But on the Bid for your Own Price, they only show two areas with the resorts. Thanks. Congrats on the win!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shekim Posted May 4, 2011 #1958 Share Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) Is La Concha still a 4* and Marriott Stellaris a resort on Priceline?Is La Concha coming up at all on PL? I see the Marriott often as a winning bid. We won the Marriott this past March for $115 as a resort. Has this changed? We need a few days March, 2012 and it's probably too early to bid......want to wait to see what winning bids are turning up first. Marty Just got the Marriott for March 16-18 2012 for $110 per night; bid resorts. Edited May 4, 2011 by Shekim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erby2283 Posted May 8, 2011 #1966 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Never used Priceline before and am dizzy from trying to do research here and on betterbidding.com. The Sheraton OSJ will not let me book through their site for one night (11/12/11). Is it possible to win this hotel FOR THIS ONE NIGHT on priceline. If so, can someone please tell me what I need to key in on priceline for my best chance to win this hotel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, can someone please tell me what I need to key in on priceline for my best chance to win this hotel? Most likely since the Sheraton is only making reservations for two days....Priceline would probably be the same for the Sheraton. In any event, once you set your parameters on Priceline: San Juan/Zone 8/either 3.5*; 4*; Resort and place your bid....Priceline picks the hotel.....you do not have a choice. If they accept your bid you find out the hotel after your credit card is charged......For one night I would take a chance with Priceline. If you go to either Better Bidding or Bidding for Travel/Puerto Rico forum.....both have lists of the hotels you might win in each star category.......just make certain you select ONLY zone 8 in San Juan.......Marty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dforeigner Posted May 18, 2011 #1972 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I just won the Intercontinental San Juan for $120 June 23-26/11. Does anyone know how long it takes to get into OSJ from here? And is it easy to do without renting a car? Thanks! About 10-15 minutes. I would not rent a car as parking is rather limited in OSJ. You can take a cab which is $19.00 each way or the bus. Try google to find out bus routes and schedules. There is also a free bus that runs around Catalina which is where Isla Verde is located. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
