cj1959 Posted August 2, 2012 Author Report Posted August 2, 2012 It appears HOTWIRE has the best deal going for me: Kona Coast Resort 9/26-10/4 2012 for $89.00. I've stayed there 5 or 6 times before and loved it each time. I was just hoping for a price nearer to $65-75.
thereuare Posted August 3, 2012 Report Posted August 3, 2012 Why isn't PRICELINE listing Kona Coast Resort, a 3 1/2 star resort, as it did just a few months ago?Do you mean on the 'retail' side of PRICELINE where the hotel names are shown before purchase?They may not have been given inventory for the specific dates that you're looking for OR if it's for any set of dates that you're searching for, they hotel may not be using PRICELINE for distribution at the moment (this could be for any number of reasons)Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know whatever you decide to do for this stay or if we can be of further help.

cj1959 Posted August 3, 2012 Author Report Posted August 3, 2012 Yes, it appears the resort is not currently using PRICELINE as it was for this property just recently in May.
thereuare Posted August 4, 2012 Report Posted August 4, 2012 Sometimes hotels can come and go in trends... there are times when a hotel is not reported as a win for months or even years, then all of a sudden out of nowhere it becomes the most frequent acceptor in a zone.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Keep updated on your progress and let us know how we can be of further help along the way.

cj1959 Posted August 16, 2012 Author Report Posted August 16, 2012 HOTWIRE dropped the price from 89.00 to 85.00...gett'n there!
thereuare Posted August 17, 2012 Report Posted August 17, 2012 A $4 price change is common with HOTWIRE and part of their normal fluctuation from one search to the next.. i wouldn't necessarily see that as indicative of any change in demand.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

cj1959 Posted August 17, 2012 Author Report Posted August 17, 2012 You are very correct. HOTWIRE has indicated they only have 10 rooms left, but that has been the case every day for nearly the last 2 weeks.

cj1959 Posted August 25, 2012 Author Report Posted August 25, 2012 I've used both PRICELINE and HOTWIRE for direct searches through you and was happy to to it! I never could get Kona Coast Resort through priceline this time around. Hotwire did however finally come down to about $85.00/ night. Almost where I expected (closer to 75.00 would have been optimal.) With only 30 days out from my trip and Hotwire now raising the price, I went direct through shell vacations for $80/night for 8 night total Sept 26-Oct 4. Sorry, I gave both priceline and hotwire every chance I could nearly every day for a month to get the right price for me but to no avail. And yes, I will continue to use Better Bidding every chance I get before booking my next trip. Thanks for this valuable resource!

cj1959 Posted October 9, 2012 Author Report Posted October 9, 2012 I see Kona Coast Resort is now available for bidding on PRICELINE. I might suggest starting bids at $75.00/night. We just got back from an 8 night stay. (Our 6th visit) We had a wonderful time, again
cj1959 Posted December 7, 2012 Author Report Posted December 7, 2012 PRICELINE retail has the Kona Coast Resort listed at $137/night. Kona Coast/Shell properties has it available on their website for as little as $77/night in January. Try priceline bidding beginning at $65/night using the "re-bid" combinations and work your way up. You already know its availble direct from $77.00. Good luck! Planning on coming again late spring.
cj1959 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Posted March 25, 2013 Going to Maui instead April 14-24. Working both PRICELINE and HOTWIRE for 3 1/2* or better.
