Hotwire Hotel: 5* Maui (Wailea - Makena) Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea

[cfed3499]

I am interested in bidding for a 5 star hotel in Wailea, Maui area.  I believe there is only one hotel, the Four Seasons.  On Hotwire it looks like I can get a 5* for $381/night in the Wailea-Makena area "Secret Rate Hotels". Do you believe this is the Four Seasons? Is there any way to know what the additional fees are (the real price?). The dates are 1/23-1/30.  I was thinking of naming my own price (through Priceline). I think I understand the rebidding process, but I'm not sure if there are any "rebidding zones".  Thank you.

I tried to bid for a 5* in Wailea-Makena for $319, got rejected. Added Kihea at $339 and got rejected.  Then I read somewhere that resorts are considered higher than 5* so if you add areas you may end up with a resort in an area you don't want.   SoI got cold feet and ...

 

I chose the Hotwire "Secret Hot Rate" deal for a 5*, assuming it was the Four Seasons for $376/night.  Amenities listed were pet-friendly, fitness center, internet access, pools, business center, tennis nearby, spa services. It did end up being the Four Seasons.  Total for 7 nights was $2632 + 479.02 taxes and fees = $3111.02.  Priceline and Hotwire listed price was $489. I hope this includes the resort fees, but I have no idea.

Congrats on your success. :)

 

Very nice win for this property and hope you are looking forward to your stay.

 

With HOTWIRE, you can look at the detail page and scroll down - at the bottom of the page is where resort fees (approximate, not exact) are listed. These fees are paid at the hotel. I believe I'm looking at the same listing you purchased and am not seeing anything in regards to a resort fee.

 

Additionally, 5* on PRICELINE is considered higher than resort.

 

Thank you for sharing your win and please use the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches.

 

Enjoy your stay.
