thereuare Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 The following may be low but with time on your side i'd begin with the following:At the Resort level you have TWO re-bid zones.

arbitrageur Posted June 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Okay, I adjusted the bid values slightly upwards and ended unsucessfully at $135 today. Will slowly adjust upwards over the next few days. Checked HOTWIRE and found a 3.5* condo in Ka'anapali for $130/night for the dates of my stay that might suit my needs. I know it's not resort level, but I'll be in the center of the tourist trap in Waikiki during the 2nd leg of my journey. I was wondering if someone could help me identify this property with the following amenities:Beachfront Studio Fully-equipped Kitchen Daily Housekeeping Air Conditioning Children's Activity Program Fitness Center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) 24-hour Front Desk Laundry Facilities High-speed Internet Access Tennis Nearby Condo Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 The above is a match for the Aston Kaanapali Shores so that would be my best guess.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Let us know what you decide or if we can be of further help.

thereuare Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Congratulations on your success!Glad to see you were ultimately successful, and while perhaps more than you originally wanted to pay, this is a very nice deal at almost half off the best available hotel direct rate for these nites.Hope you're happy with the results and looking forward to your stay.Thank you for sharing your win with the board and using our PRICLINE link to begin your bidding.Enjoy your stay.

bbbb Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 A little tip for this hotel. You can use valet parking during the day and it won't be charged as long as you move your car to self parking before 10 pm. Sometime after 10 pm they check all the keys in the box and charge them to the room accounts. Also if self parking is full you can use valet for free, you will have to ask the desk to remove the charge at check out. Link to comment

This worked very well, and I found myself returning late from Lahaina quite often, never worrying about parking. I got free valet for 3 nights (self-parking was usually filled by 9 p.m.), and they waived all the charges at check out. Link to comment
