NECruiser83 Posted August 27, 2016 #602 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Yes, have stayed there several times and love it! It's a little off the beaten path in that it is on the northern end of the beach, but we still love it! The rooms are beautiful, beds super comfy, view is to die for and it is impeccably clean. It's right across from the beach, maybe about a mile walk to a water taxi stop, there are a variety of restaurants, shops and bars in the area...and really not a bad walk to get to the "main drag" on Fort Lauderdale beach, maybe a mile and a half to two miles. Plenty of great dining along the way! I'd be thrilled to get it for $150!!!! Oh, and do yourself a favor and have either breakfast or lunch at Primanti brothers right next door, delish!!!! This is wonderful to hear!!! I noticed it was a bit north, but we plan on beaching it for the full day we are there, and we have a 6 year old, so we won't be taking advantage of night life. I will totally check out Primanti, I was going to look ahead on Trip Advisor for some ideas, but love first hand recommendations :D By chance, do you remember if they supply beach towels? I see the resort fee includes 2 beach chairs, so I would assume they provide towels as well, but I can't find anything on their website, may give them a call to confirm.

iluvcruzin Posted August 28, 2016 #603 Share Posted August 28, 2016 (edited) Not to downplay the questions but there is hotel information and questioning on other threads. The topic here is priceline & hotwire. I am fine if the moderators remove this post for off topic. Edited August 28, 2016 by iluvcruzin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dearabby_84 Posted August 30, 2016 #608 Share Posted August 30, 2016 November 10 + 11 for 2 rooms for the 2 nights Sonesta Coconut Grove, Coconut Grove Miami Bid $105 declined, bid $120, bid $132 accepted= 621.76 with taxes incl. Only other fee will be resort fee of $30/room per night. When I looked online this was a lot cheaper than directly with hotel and also on booking sites. Hopefully it's good! Did have an issue with beds though, called to confirm and explained that they were 1 bedroom rooms with no couch!?! So we will have to upgrade our room on check in, I'll let you know if it's worth the hassle. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the risk of using PL or HW. :eek: Edited August 30, 2016 by 1cruiselvr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travelwithkrista Posted September 7, 2016 #611 Share Posted September 7, 2016 You can ask the hotel for a roll away bed..that will be no fee or a small nightly or 1 time fee...just a thought.. Have a blast..Krista PS I love PL and Our Parents booked our December Family Cruise through them for great savings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stretchcruz Posted September 12, 2016 #618 Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) I apologize, sorry, I saw it and just posted it. I'm getting so sick and tired of all of this back and forth negativity on cc. I joined when cc first started and then changed my user name because I dared to criticize parts of an HAL cruise. I was attacked. I quit cc and got emails from the moderators telling me that my review was what they wanted on these boards. I think I'll just start reading again and not posting. Not worth the trouble positive or negative. I work 10 hrs a day and don't have the time. Sorry I had the time to respond this weekend.

FreestyleNovice Posted September 12, 2016 #619 Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) Out of many people eandj would be the least to be negative IMHO. I think he was just helping the thread to be complete, for others, CC is also a community made by the members.. Happy cruising! :) edit: ontopic; a 30th Sept - 1st Oct stay for that price is a steal, I can't get the IC cheaper than $152+$23 in taxes/fees on the non bidding sites. Congrats to that poster! :D Edited September 12, 2016 by FreestyleNovice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j3000 Posted September 19, 2016 #621 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I went to HOTWIRE link, put in Miami, date-Dec3 1 night. Got results then refined by area - Downtown. 6 hotels came up. First one is "Downtown-Port of Miami area boutique hotel" 4-star, 85% recommended, $128. when i clicked on the hotel link, next page had a balloon saying: "Book soon! Last person got The Langford Hotel". Can someone identify this hotel ?? Will it be The Langford?Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted September 19, 2016 #622 Share Posted September 19, 2016 (edited) jargey....Could be. Often the hotel mentioned IS the one you get. No guarantees tho. If it's a good rate, go for it. 85% favorability is darn high. Your date is NOT prime, so you should get some really good rate offers on the discount sites.
