Thanks for this info. I think the Missus is going book a hotel directly as she doesn't want to risk it. I know it's going to cost us at least 30% more, however we will be guaranteed to be on the beach. Once again thanks for all your help. I will be asking more question about our stay in la on the la forum. Thanks Satpal

Thanks for the info about the beachfront. At the moment when I search Hotwire, with the dates only one hotel appears with the beach icon, unfortunately it's a 5* hotel and $402 a night, way over our budget. I see from HOTWIRE Hotel list Hawaii that it's either the Halekulani or the Royal Hawaiian. Does this mean that if we were to get a hotel via Priceline in the Waikik Beach Area the hotel could be close to the beach and not on the beach? Overlaying the Priceline map against the Hotels on your Priceline Maps Zone 7 there doesn't seem to be any hotels the would not be on the beach. However i'm very new to this and you folks have been doing it along time. Once again thanks for the help Satpal

I think the Missus would only be happy if it was directly on the beach. The amenities are: Near Beach Smoke free rooms Fitness Centre Pool Business Centre Laundry High Speed Internet Access Golf Nearby It also says: Recommended in 75% of customer reviews. There are just two of us, so we just need double occupancy. Thanks Satpal

Hi, We're looking to stay on the beach at Waikiki on the above dates. I have done some searching around on this forum and it looks like that we should be able to get a room for ~$150 per night, this would be our budget. Although it is flexible given the prices were getting direct from the hotels. I'm not to fussed about which hotel it is as long as it 4* or above, as I understand this includes the resorts. What would the best strategy be? Start at $100 and go up?, not sure about the rebid zones. Also I just had a look at HOTWIRE using the forum link and there is a 4* on the Waikiki Beach area for $159 per night. I'm not sure which hotel it could be given that the trip advisor rating is 4/5. I have to admit I'm tempted by this HOTWIRE deal. All advice is welcome. Thanks Satpal
