To enhance your chances of securing savings, consider enabling email alerts or push notifications from Hotels.com for updates on flash sales and special promotions. The Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you're well-informed. With these resources, you're more likely to be alerted if rooms become available or prices drop, making it easier to book your spontaneous getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate based on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and season, so being flexible with your dates might help you save on your stay in a San Juan hotel.
