megz Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Hi everyone,I've made an attempt to secure a 4* hotel in Maui (Kihei/Wailea, Ka'anapali/Lahaina) via PRICELINE for the following bids and were unsucessful: 168171175We're open to bidding as high as $200/night but obviously would like to go lower, if possible. Does anyone have any recommendations or advice? I'd like to get my first PL winning bid!Also, currently Hotwire is selling a 4* for $225 in Wailea -- can anyone guess which hotel this is? Thanks!

AaronJB Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Welcome to Betterbidding.You mention two sets of dates - which were the above set of bids for? What date/s are the HOTWIRE listing for? Please provide the complete information for the HOTWIRE listing - date/s, price per night (in USD$, before taxes/fees), full list of amenities, zone and star rating and we would be happy to take a look and try to ID the listing.Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

thereuare Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 HOTWIRE has a new interface which is not currently showing the complete set of amenities at the usual point of the search process.Please try the following:use this link to search HOTWIREfrom the search results page click the offer for this hotelon the next page click BOOK NOW (no worries about purchasing by accident since no credit card information is entered up to this point)on the left side of the page click the 'See all amenities' linkIf you follow the above, do you now see this complete set of amenities for this offer:Resort Free Parking Beachfront Fitness Pool Restaurant Laundry Hi-Speed Internet Golf Tennis Spa Childrens Activities Travel Accessible Room Accessible Bathroom Accessible Handicapped Parking HOWEVER, as this is above your current target budget, and it seems like your next move would be to continue bidding higher towards the $200 mark, not sure why try to identify this property at the moment (as it may not even be the hotel offered once you consider going the HOTWIRE route and exhausting your bidding attempts up to $200/nite). With this noted, my best guess for this property would be the Makena Beach and Golf Resort.PRICELINE EXPRESS has a 4* hotel offered for 8/5-8/20 in this zone for $210/nite and using the link in my signature and code SUMMER gives you 5% OFF bringing the room cost right to your budget of $200/nite... does this work for you?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know what you decide and/or how you'd like to proceed and we'll advise further.

megz Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Hey all,For those of you waiting to get a deal in Ka'anapali, I scored the Hyatt Regency for $176/night between 8/15-8/17. I did a quick check just now and it looks like they have this price available from 8/13 - 8/17. I'm guessing they released the rooms today, so get it quickly!!Happy bidding,M Link to comment
