@thereuare this was extremely helpful and informative. I totally understand now. Thank you so much you have completely answered all my questions. :)

According to the Priceline Hotel List the only 4* listed is the Westen Moana Surfrider. Is this still the case? If so I would like to start bidding but I'm not willing to decrease the star rating or choose "Resort" because of the possibility of getting the Outrigger Waikiki On The Beach. Out of the 5 resorts listed 3 of the 5 I don't mind staying but we do not want the OWOTB and Marriott Beach. Can you confirm if I bid on this 4* in the Waikiki beach area since (that is the only choice on the list) I could potentially be safe that I will get the Westin? Also, what is the possibility of Priceline giving me a resort instead of the 4*.....has that ever happened?

A nice view of the ocean from our room.

We would like to stay at a hotel located on the beach with a nice view is are 1st choice. But if we can't get that we don't mind staying at a hotel walking distance to the beach but must have a nice view also 2nd choice. Not willing to sacrife not having nice view on either property. :)

@thereuare the game plan is we really want an oceanview and would prefer for it to be located on the beach but if not we are willing to sacrifie for amazing views. Also there are 4 of us traveling and we would like 1 room with 2 double beds. What do you think our odds are of finding a property with this budget?

Ok now I see a property listed for $89 on HOTWIRE with these amenities that I thought was Ilikai because it matches up with the HOTWIRE hotel list, so is it actually the Waikki Marina Resort? Let me know thanks :)

@chrispee thank u soooo much your info is very helpful...wish us the best we do want to stay there also. So happy that you were able to secure a spot at an awesome price!!!! Enjoy your vacation! :)

@thereuare thank you for the speedy reply. My lodging budget range for this trip is $130-$160. My dates are not flexible but willing to adjust the star rating even though prefer 4 star and up. Did like a few other properties but they were out of my price range. The Sheraton did have the look and ever amenity we were looking for. This is my 1st trip to the island and we want to enjoy a full hawaiian experience. One of our must-haves is that it be located on the beach with amazing views. I can't thank you enough how much I love this site....no one likes to shop blindly especially if you have never been somewhere before. I have used PRICELINE and HOTWIRE in the past but I didn't know about your services at the time. I will definately book my trip through your BetterBidding site links because you provide us with a free service that is priceless and you deserve you deserve the credit. For all who are viewing this site and not registered yet I would suggest you register and also book your trips via their links because this is an amazing serive :) with execellent customer service.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't see any listings currently on Hotwire that list the amenities others have posted to identify the Sheraton :) . Since it is not listed at this time I assume no more rooms available via Hotwire at this time but do you know if they could be available again and how often should I check? I will be traveling 2/26/11-3/03/11. Any help with this or suggestions would be greatly appreciated :) ?
