The Grateful Dad Posted August 26, 2012 #2280 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I was getting ready to bid ZONE 8 RESORT for San Juan. It appears that zone 8 does NOT include Marriot Stelaris, Conrad etc, it's now Zone 9 that includes those resorts. Can someone please check this out, I don't use priceline much and dont wat to give out bad information or bid on the wrong zone. I'm trying to win (hopes not high) the Marriot Stelaris beginning of January Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerseyteacher Posted September 4, 2012 #2283 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I want to try a priceline bid for a one night precruise stay for a family of 4, but not sure which area I should bid on. We want to be near the beach, but is that too far from the airport.We plan on exploring Old San Juan after we board ship. And not sure about transportation from airport to hotel and then from hotel to port...I guess taxis...but how expensive is that?Thank you for any ideas.

They can actually set up a bidding strategy for you on Priceline, and many report luck by following the strategy exactly. Zone 9 is the area from the airport to cruise terminals. Use the map on the bid for travel section of the PL website for hotel information (green button - Bid Now). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You pretty much need to take taxis everywhere unless you want to rent a car or try the bus. The taxis are pretty reasonable and fair. We have stayed at the Marriott Stellaris and Intercontinental, both are on the beach. Better bidding.com will give you some tips to help you bid.

cherylroslyn Posted September 9, 2012 #2289 Share Posted September 9, 2012 That's a really great price. I have been trying for April, but think it's a bit too early. I've been trying for April too and it has been impossible. I think it is just too early, but I did notice the price of some oof the resorts has gone down by $50.00 from just a few weeks ago......so hopefully october of November should be good......

Bakmmo Posted September 14, 2012 #2294 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Tell me is san Juan Sheraton and mar riot **** or *** and half stars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sippican Posted September 14, 2012 #2295 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Tell me is san Juan Sheraton and mar riot **** or *** and half stars There are two Sheratons - one in OSJ near the port, the other the Sheraton with the Casino (4 stars) only $130 per night right now without bidding. The Marriott is listed in the "resort" category. There are no guarantees what hotel you may end up with, just the level The "bidding for travel" or "bidding traveler" sites may be helpful. Good luck!

Kikkycat Posted September 14, 2012 #2296 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Both Sheratons have casinos. The one in Old San Juan is called Sheraton Old San Juan and it near the Carnival pier. It is a 3.5* hotel. The other Sheraton is called Sheraton Puerto Rico. It is the hotel closest to the pier used by Royal Caribbean, Celebrity and Princess, although it's not walkable. It has a convention center. I've read that it is 4*. Marriott Stellaris is resort category. There are other Marriotts, such as the Courtyard hotel. Which Marriott interested you?

The "other" Sheraton is the Sheraton Puerto Rico Convention Center Hotel &Casino, near the Panam Pier. The "Stellaris" is a Marriott Resort. The Marriott San Juan Resort and Stellaris Casino.
