I went through an almost identical situation as yourself and if you want to read the discussion, look at the "K'aanapali unsuccessful bid" from the message board. Below is how my bidding went, and I ended up taking the Sheraton for $160 a night through the United Airlines 50% discount, instead of purchasing through priceline. BTW, I did bid up to $155 for the hilton area and did not get it. I DID use the Kona free rebid zone and the Sheraton obviously did not take it, so I don't think that they are listed as a resort. This was last week that I did this, so unless they change in a week, I wouldn't worry about it. Hope this helps. -kn
