Priceline Hotel: Resort Maui (Kaanapali-Lahaina) Westin Maui Resort and Spa

[veggierunner]

$170 ... 12/02/11-12/06/11

I had initially started bidding at $140, and gradually increased up to $155 adding the 3 additional zones. At $160 I got a message that if I increased by bid to $185 that there was a good chance of a match, but I went back at $170 and success!! :o

This is especially a great deal for me being Canadian. With the exhange rate right now the $790 (with taxes) rate will work out to about $755 CND! :) It is a great time for Canadians to visit the US!! (However for some reason my Maui travel book that I purchased this week was $4 more in Canada :) )

I did use the PRICELINE link from this site to make my purchase.

Congratulations on your success!

Glad to see you're pleased with the results and the deal you received (augmented by current economic and currency issues)

First time user here! Thanks for all the inputs in advance.

Would love to get the Westin for Aug. How do I bid on PRICELINE for this particular hotel?

savings4sami,

You can't bid on a specific hotel when using PRICELINE, you have to be able to accept any hotel in the zone at the star level (or higher) that you choose. With HOTWIRE you can often take an educated guess as to what is being offered based upon the amenities associated with the property, but it's still a 'best guess' and no guarantees you will receive the hotel you're hoping for. As well, HOTWIRE only shows one hotel at each star level per zone, so there is a chance the hotel you're hoping for isn't the one which is offered for your particular dates.

If you'd like help with an upcoming stay please start a NEW TOPIC.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Thanks.
