After my stay at the Wailea Beach Marriott Resort, I'm happy to report that the Resort Fees are not mandatory, and that the parking fees appear to be avoidable (I saw a lot of people parking in the nearby shopping mall parking lot and walking over). The only extra I decided to pay for was one day of internet for $14. The personnel were all friendly and professional, the resort and grounds are beautiful, and overall, I got a great deal.

I'm concerned about the $25 a day Resort Fee, which may or may not be mandatory, and the $14 a day fee for internet. Frm what I read, it sounds like even if you manage to decline the Resort Fee (which includes parking and some botled water), they still require you to pay $15 a day for self-parking. I don't feel that Priceline gave me adequate notice of the Resort Fee before I booked, and there's nothing about it on Marriott's website for that location.

Offered $90 for 3 1/2 star+ class in either Laihana or Wailea -- bid rejected. Priceline counteroffered $112. I started over, upped the hotel class to Resort, upped my bid to $93 -- bid accepted. Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $93.00 Subtotal: $279.00 Taxes & Fees: $46.77 Total Charges*: $325.77
