Priceline Hotel: Resort Hawaii (Kona) Sheraton Keauhou Bay

[TigerKatt]

I'm going to bid on a resort on the Big Island and am thinking the "Waikoloa-Kohala Coast" area. In a 24-hour period, can I only place one bid and if it is rejected I can only add Hilo to the zone and bid once more?

I've done my research on this forum and it looks like the winning hotels for the Waikoloa-Kohala Coast resorts go between the $75 - $100 range and mostly (although I know it's not guaranteed) the Hapuna Beach Prince Resort and the Resort Marriott Waikoloa Beach are won. Based on this info, what bid would you start at and what would your rebid be? I have $10/night in bonus bucks too.

Thanks.

Also, when you're bidding, if your first bid is rejected and you add a rebid zone, do you have to increase your bid or can you bid the same amount and if you rebid how much do you generally go up in increments? $5?

You can send me a PM if you'd like this thread re-opened.
