Priceline Hotel: 3* Oahu (Waikiki City Central) Aqua Aloha Surf

[clan4irish]

On the surface this sounds like a good deal. However, after checking the Aqua website I could have booked the 30 day advance non-refundable rate of $59.00 which totalled $67 and change. I should have conducted due diligence better.

The lesson - Check all of your options before you lock it in!

Room Cost (avg. per room, per night): $56.00 (USD)

Number of Rooms: 1

Number of Nights: 1

Room Subtotal: $56.00 (USD)

Taxes and Fees: $15.51 (USD)

Total Room Cost: $71.51 (USD)

As always used the PRICELINE link.

Last week, I discovered that the Aqua hotels website offers 60 day advanced rates, with no refunds or changes, that are basically the same as the best rates they give to PRICELINE, and which end up being at least $6-7 cheaper because of no PRICELINE added fees. Similarly, their 30 day advanced rate with no refunds or changes, which is a few bucks higher, still ends up being a few bucks cheaper than PL after the PL fees are added.
