fti Posted September 5, 2007 #203 Share Posted September 5, 2007 hiya guys,I have been trying for 3 separate reservations feb 14-16, feb 28-mar1 and mar 8-10 on priceline resorts. I know i could drop to a 3-star but i DO NOT want the sheraton downtown therefore this star range is OUT. so far all 4 daily tries per rez have been a NO-GO..bidding max so far has been $165..i will not exceed this until the dates get closer. hotwire did offer the intercontinental for $264 but i will wait abit longer. If anyone has success PLEASE POST Thank you *sweet* My biggest piece of advice - BE PATIENT! Book a cancellable backup hotel that you can live with. Bid every 7-10 days but not more often. You will only get frustrated. The hotels might not be releasing space to PL and hotwire this early. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stprdi Posted September 6, 2007 #207 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I just can't handle the $2,000.00 bill it will be to stay 4 nights in San Juan in January. We thought we'd give Priceline a try. There will be 3 of us though. Were thinking that maybe it would still work out cheaper to book 2 resort rooms. Anyone have any strategy on this idea? We've stayed at the Intercontinental and love it, wouldn't mind trying some place else. How and when do you ask for the ocean view upgrade?

jaycor99 Posted September 7, 2007 #209 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Got the sheridan for Jan 15-19 2008(tues thru fri night) for 176.00 per night but one tip a friend fiqured out is if we had asked for a 3 1/2 star for tues to thurs night instead of tues to Fri we could have gotten the Sheridan for 109.00 per night we then could have booked friday night on it's own for 199.00 We would have saved over 200.00 I think when you put in a friday or Sat night the pricing changes sometimes Still 176.00 is a good price but next time will try playing with the dates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzanne123 Posted October 7, 2007 #213 Share Posted October 7, 2007 $225 for Marriott Resort and Stallaris Casino. After a month of bids and re-bids finally got a resort in San Juan during high season. Lowest price is $339 on web site. Not a great win, but I'm satisified.

queenbeen Posted October 16, 2007 #218 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Hi everyone! I've been trying to get a resort hotel in San Juan for May 17, 2008 and have had no luck so far. I keep reading how people managed to get the Marriott Stellaris for $100 or $110. Someone got that deal for May 10, so I'm wondering if our weekend is just a busy one. I guess I'll keep trying and get a backup hotel, just in case. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonjie Posted October 18, 2007 #219 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I'm the one that got the Marriott on the 10th for $110. I can't imagine the 17th would be that much more in demand, but maybe there's a convention or large group in town??? Anyway, I woud keep trying, you may have to go a bit higher, but the Marriott is certainly worth it- Very good and friendly staff!! We are out in Fajardo after our cruise, the weekend of the 17th. Got a great deal on Skyauction for the Wyndham (formerly Westin), Rio Mar for around $120 a night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biguntx Posted October 22, 2007 #220 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I may have pulled the trigger too quickly:confused: , however, I just booked our post cruise stay. Winning bid on Priceline $152/night 2/15-2/18/08 at the Normandie Hotel. Precruise 2/3/08 at the Sheraton Old San Juan for $100 also on Priceline. Glad to have it out of the way.:( My wife and I love to dance Salsa. This will place in the middle of the Puerto Rico vs. Cuban Salsa dance mecca. We are very pleased.:cool: Good Luck Bidding.:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queenbeen Posted October 22, 2007 #221 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I have been bidding on the Marriott Stellaris for weeks now with no luck, and I finally got it today for $135 for May 17, 2008! I probably could have gotten it for less, but I guess I was a little too eager and bid $135 right off the bat. Regardless, I'm thrilled to have gotten it for that date, and just wanted to thank everyone here for your advice!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonjie Posted October 22, 2007 #222 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Yeah! Glad you got it!!!! Remember you can upgrade to an oceanview room for $25 a nightwhen you get there, that puts you at a little over $160 for a great room! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polodad Posted October 23, 2007 #223 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I understand that a new renovated hotel the Renaissance La Concha will open Nov 2007 located very close to the Marriott Stellaris. Anyone have any luck with the La Concha property on Priceline? We have stayed at the Stellaris & liked it, but just curious about the Renaissance. Thanks.

leftyrn Posted October 25, 2007 #224 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I have been trying for months to obtain a room on priceline for our four Jan 2008 precruise nights. Because I have been trying so long last night I just threw in some numbers without even using free bids:o and I was successful in getting a room (paying too much) but at least it has a beach :eek: of sorts and a pool. With taxes we got the room for 157/night. I did have a back up of Hampton at 130/night plus 9% tax (booked Jan 2007) so it looks like we aren't paying much more for a room. I am disappointed because we got Caribe in Jan 2006 for $65 on priceline. This just shows prices are up and Caribe is getting better reviews now and so demand is better. In 2006 it got bad reviews as well. On the positive side we plan on walking over to Caribe and checking out the hammocks:D Anyone out there who has recently stayed here have anything good to say about the Normandie???

Denver_Rich Posted October 29, 2007 #225 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Anyone have a link to a good source to find out which SanJuan hotels have free airport pickup/drop off??????????????? The places I tried seem to imply that "none" have this amenity which doesn't sound right to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
