Priceline Hotel: Resort Hawaii (Kona) Sheraton Keauhou Bay

[johnbowling]

I used your PRICELINE link and bid 3.5* $80/night in the Kona region, trying to get the Kona Coast Resort condos despite their being listed on Hotwire for about double my bid. Rejected.

Added Hilo, the system checked "Resorts" since it's a higher category, and I bid $85/night. That bid was accepted at the Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort & Spa, the old Kona Surf before a $35million remodel a few years back. We've stayed there many times under both names and like the place. Rooms are big and the staff is nice. It sits on what I think is the finest piece of real estate on the Kona coast. With a price like this we'll probably be in the high-rise part facing the mountain, and they charge for parking and levy a $15.62/day Resort fee which Priceline does not reveal in advance, as if it's not part of the room charge, but it's not an awful deal. Lowest rack rate is $179 which is not worth it. I prefer the Kona Coast condos for easier access (it's a long hike to your room from the parking lot here) and having a full kitchen.

Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $85.00

Subtotal: $595.00

Taxes & Fees: $97.58

Total Charges*: $692.58
