Priceline Hotel: Upscale 3.5 star + Poipu Kauai

[adro]

Hoping to get the Sheraton in Poipu, started bidding using the PRICELINE link, up to $115 but no luck so far. Has anyone bid in this region recently and added Princeville for the free rebid?

Princeville is not a free rebid at 3.5*. You very easily could get the Westin Princeville instead. Which is a very good hotel, but, of course, you'd be in Princeville, not Poipu. I'm personally trying to get Poipu as a split between the other half of my trip, which I already booked on a deal that Starwood is giving owners at the Westin Princeville. Since 2/3 of my trip is already in Princeville, I DON'T want Princeville for the remaining third of it. But the fact that Starwood is running very aggressive promo deals for their owners on the Westin Princeville says to me that they have plenty of vacancies - which means you could easily win it while trying for Poipu if you include it in the bidding zones. So it is DEFINITELY NOT a free rebid zone.

I would also add that next January is peak season, so there's almost no way that the Sheraton would release inventory for those dates at the best Priceline rates this early. You probably won't see availability on Priceline in January at good prices until at least September or October.

Thanks for the advice, I think i will steer clear of Princeville as i have plenty of time and can just wait the 24hrs for a rebid. I will probably end up booking Koa Kea or Sheraton. We will probably split half our trip as well, maybe go up to the Marriot in Lihue or maybe a B and B. Thanks again.

I will probably end up booking... Sheraton.
