I'm going to Cancun for the first time in November. I will probably try Priceline for booking a hotel since I really have no preference. Are all the "4-star" hotels on the beach? Or is it safer to ask for a "Resort" hotel to ensure that I am on the water? Thanks for your help.

Go to www.biddingfortravel.com

They have all the information you could possibly need to make a good priceline bid.

I would *EXPECT* that hotels at the 4-star level would eb on the beach, but yeah, you should really check the 2 big Priceline strategy sites, biddingfortravel.com and www.betterbidding.com to find out what's what. The latter site is especially good for getting good suggested bidding strategies...

Have fun!

Thanks, I have not seen the betterbidding site. Take care, rich

Just make sure you don't end up with the Sheraton! I think that's listed as a 4 star, and it should be ranked lower!

Be careful of the 4 star ratings--for example, Priceline does their own rating and has little real value.
