Hotwire Hotel: 4* Oahu (North Shore) Turtle Bay Resort

[bajurk]

Hi

Selected North Shore area Hotel 4*

Received

Turtle Bay Resort 4*

North Shore Area Hotel

$203 / night

7/24/2010 - 7/29/2010

Resort / Beachfront / Fitness Center / Pool / Restaurants / High Speed Internet / Golf / Tennis

Direct book with resort was $259 only if you prepaid and couldn't cancel reservation otherwise it was $302 Priceline w/o bidding was $259. The only option to choose on the North Shore to bid with Priceline was a resort so figured as much this was Turtle Bay. I bid $169, $179, and $189 and at that point there wasn't much difference between Priceline and Hotwire so just chose the sure thing with Hotwire

I accidentally clicked on 3 people at one point with Hotwire and noticed the rate went up $50 per additional person. I watched Hotwire during the course of two days and price fluctuated from $203 - $213 and back down to $203 in just one day.

Thank you for sharing your result with the board!

Can you please doublecheck your amenities. I think there might be some additional associated with this hotel. You can still view this information by going to HOTWIRE and clicking the MY ACCOUNT link near the top right of their home page.

Enjoy your stay.

Please use the site's HOTWIRE and PRICELINE links to start future purchases.

Additional amenities not listed above:

Spa Services / Children's Activity Program

I believe that's all of them.

I booked this resort back in March and the HOTWIRE listing did NOT include the fact that there was a resort fee. I was actually quite annoyed by this fact even though I was expecting a fee. $25 was pretty high given the amenities (not many) included in the fee.
