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

[virginrose]

Have been watching Hotwire for a few weeks for signs that this resort had rooms up for opaque bidding. Yesterday saw posting on Hotwire that suggested the Westin (it's where my 12 year old wanted to stay). Yesterday tried various booking strategies breaking up stay based on Hotwire listings. Bidding history as below. Note of explanation-I hate to win on first bid...feel like I have failed if that happens...so err on the opposite side with low balls until I finally win. That way I feel like I've gotten a real bargain! ;-)
