samik Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Hi there,I'm trying to book a room in Maui for a week at the end of October. Without much success.So far I've bid up to $120 for Resort and 4* and up to $90 for 3.5 star.Can anyone shed any light on what I can realistically expect to pay? I'd also welcome any bidding strategies that anyone can offer.Many thanks!! Link to comment
surefire99 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Hi there - I would be interested as well since I am travelling at the end of October to Maui and many of the prices seem high when looking at Hotwire as well. I have tried bidding up to $132/night (October 26th-November 1st) with no success. That is only at the resort level with adding all zones. Link to comment

samik Posted August 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 The dates are 10/27-11/3. I was first bidding on Wailea and then upping my bid by $5 when rebidding and adding Lahaina and later adding the other areas which do not have 3.5 star.I saw that someone else had one the Royal Lahaina Resort (3.5 star) for $95/night, so I'm thinking that may be the price point.Many thanks for the help!

AaronJB Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Rates do vary by dates, so if these are different dates than the other poster who won, the required rate for a win could definitely be different for these dates.Please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
