Priceline Hotel: Resort Maui (Wailea-Makena) Wailea Marriott

[dawgsrock]

I have had airline tickets to Maui on Oct 14th for about a month now. So that has given me some time to make some low-ball bids. Having seen the lowest price over the summer to be $93 I started at $85 and inched up to as high as $97 with no success.

Recently I noticed someone won the Wailea Marriott for $75 so now I have been starting there and gone up in $5 increments by rebidding the other three zones (2 of which do not have resorts). I still have some time to inch my way up from there since I won't be arriving for over two weeks.

Where does October fit in as far as "peak" or "slow" season in Maui is concerned? Does anyone know?

Winter and Summer are usually peak seasons for Hawaii... October shouldn't be too bad.

I finally landed a resort from Oct 14-22. I started a low-ball bid of $75 at Wailea; added Lahaina and bid $85, added Kihei and bid $90. All these were refused.

I then added the airport region (I forget the name) and bid $95 which was accepted by the Marriott Resort at Wailea

I did use the PRICELINE link on this forum. Many thanks to all who posted their results on BB.
