txgeekboy, thanks so much for the detailed reply. i have one question. sorry if it seems ignorant but i'm a bit of a novice using priceline. if i use your strategy, isn't there a chance i might get a hotel in one of the non-waikiki regions?
Can anyone give me a suggested strategy? I want either a 4* or comparable resort in Waikiki for three days (December 15 - 18th). The most I'm prepared to go up to is $170.
