schander Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Hi,We're looking to stay on the beach at Waikiki on the above dates.I have done some searching around on this forum and it looks like that we should be able to get a room for ~$150 per night, this would be our budget. Although it is flexible given the prices were getting direct from the hotels.I'm not to fussed about which hotel it is as long as it 4* or above, as I understand this includes the resorts.What would the best strategy be?Start at $100 and go up?, not sure about the rebid zones.Also I just had a look at HOTWIRE using the forum link and there is a 4* on the Waikiki Beach area for $159 per night.I'm not sure which hotel it could be given that the trip advisor rating is 4/5. I have to admit I'm tempted by this HOTWIRE deal.All advice is welcome.ThanksSatpal Link to comment

thereuare Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 I think the Missus would only be happy if it was directly on the beach.Then i would stick with HOTWIRE and choose an offering that shows the Beachfront icon (rather than the Beach Access icon) as this would be the only want to ensure the property you receive is located on the beach.If you search HOTWIRE does anything appear within your desired star rating, zone and budget?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Overlaying the Priceline map against the Hotels on your Priceline Maps Zone 7 there doesn't seem to be any hotels the would not be on the beach. However i'm very new to this and you folks have been doing it along time.Once again thanks for the helpSatpal Link to comment

I think the Missus is going book a hotel directly as she doesn't want to risk it. I know it's going to cost us at least 30% more, however we will be guaranteed to be on the beach.Once again thanks for all your help. I will be asking more question about our stay in la on the la forum.ThanksSatpal Link to comment
