We are travelling to Maui, HI in early March 2010. We wanted to stay at Hyatt Regency in Ka'anapali area after reading all the reviews so tried to win a PRICELINE bid for the last few days. Started with $96 and ended up after 4 bids at $136.

Is it difficult for us to win at a 7 night stay? If so, would you recommend breaking up the stay to 4 nights at one property and 3 nights another? If we want to maximize the savings, do we stay Wed - Sun at Ka'anapali then stay Sun- Wed at Waleia area? Or vice versa. Any advice would be helpful.

For Waleia, we are targeting Marriott there. Marriot has a $25/day resort fee while Hyatt in Ka'anapali has $15 resort fee/day which effectively makes Marriot bid $10 more expensive than what you win in the end per day.

There is a win at $140 for a subset of your dates in this Priceline Hawaii thread... if you're willing to increase your bid to this amount i would try that first before looking into SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID.

What is your maximum bid for this stay?
