Bid $70 for 3* Napa hotel for one night 11/21 - 22. Won on first bid and awarded Mariott Napa Valley. Good deal but wish I had started at $60.

Thanks for the info. I've given up on Ihilani as well. Too rich for my blood.

I think I'd go up to $175 or $185. I've tried low-balling at around $150 with no luck. I definitely only have time for a one-night getaway on O'ahu and not a trip to the Outer Islands.

Yeah, I definitely want to stay at Ihilani to get away from things. Don't want to stay in Waikiki and cost of flying the three of us (wife, daughter, and me) to the neighbor islands is too high. It's Ihilani or nothing. Thinking either May 15 - 16, 14 - 15, or even 12 - 13. Just assumed 15 -16 (M - Tu) would be cheapest. Any tips appreciated.

Has anyone had any success bidding at Ihilani? I'm hoping for a one night stay from the 14th to the 15th or 15th to 16th of May. Appreciate any success stories and tips for bidding. Also, when I went to bid today, for Ihilani, in addition to Resort, it also listed a 2* category. This was the first time that I've seen that.
