Bidded Kaanapali resort Maui $150-$165 declined all times. April 2005, I won Maui Priceline Resort Kaanapali for around $155. This year, I'm not expecting to get that price. I've tried a few times staring at $150 and working up to $165 within the past week. So I'm wondering what I should do. I want to break my stay in Maui, perhaps 3 days in one part of the island area and 4 days at another. Paying around $200 for a resort seems excessive. So my wife and I are thinking going with a 3*. My question: Which part of the island has the best three star hotels? Kaanapali was nice, but did seem kinda "touristy", we're not looking to snorkel. I've heard of the Maui Coast Hotel in Kihei. Is that the only 3* there? What would be a good starting bid? Do the 3* hotels also have a "resort" fee?
