sunnycali Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I am trying to book a resort in Lahaina area for 3/30-4/4, but have had no luck. I have bid up to $200 and all bids have been rejected! Anybody have any suggestions or luck with late March early April? I was hoping to get the Sheraton or Westin resort. Link to comment

sunnycali Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 I just upped my bid to $225 and my offer still gets declined! I don't see any other posts for around the same dates, but I am very surprised that all my offers have been turned down. Maybe if I wait until the week of to try again and hope that I get a last minute deal? I am wondering if it is because it is around Spring break, which may cause the hotel prices to be more expensive than usual. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Rates do look high for these dates (likely due to the Spring break period) - HOTWIRE has a 3.5* Condo in the Lahaina area for $284. What would be your desired budget per night?Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches. Link to comment
sunnycali Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 I was hoping to get a resort for no more than $250/night. I thought Spring break was a week or two before the dates that I selected, but maybe I was wrong. The think if I am not mistaken, the reservation price at the Westin is a little over $300/night, so I was aiming to get a room on Priceline for under the $250 mark. Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Colleges and universities all have their spring break at different times, but generally within a 6-8 week window starting at the very end of February and extending thru the beginning of April.When bidding Resort in the Kaanapali-Lahaina zone you have TWO re-bid zones. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.24 hours after your last rejected bid you can try again as follows:Select Resort Kaanapali-Lahaina...Bid $240, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $245, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $250Any questions feel free to ask.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

I am typing from there as we speak, in a room that I won on Priceline for $176 per night.It's listed as 3.5* but is easily as good as any 4* ( and as good a few resorts). Great property, in a great location that is just a bit outdated with 1980's furnishings.I wish I could stay here for another month!! Link to comment
