I had already reserved the Embassy Suites (which I'll cancel now) at $239 tax/fees inclusive. Got caught up in the Priceline hype. Bid resort San Juan at 102 (denied). Told to up by $25, which I did immediately (read other posts and do smaller increments at a time.)

I was successfull and got a room at the Marriott Stellaris for a total of $149.73 on 12/18/10. Just saying oops because my Embassy Suites hotel included a Manager's Reception ($40 worth of free drinks) and breakfast for all four of us (at least $40 worth of free food).

So, I don't think I thought this through until it is too late. I just hope I don't have a problem, A, getting two double beds for a family of four.

Or, B, not being able to eat breakfast under $40. Otherwise, I didn't get much of a deal, unless the Marriott is waaaay better than the Embassy. Any thoughts?

Thanks for this description. I'll enjoy reading it outloud to my DH as we sit on our balcony watching it all pass; that is, if we're on the right side for all of it. If not, I guess we could watch from the upper deck area. Any suggestions on where is a good place to "sit" and watch from any particular deck?
