cruiseaddicted Posted September 27, 2013 Report Posted September 27, 2013 Hello. I am very new and very nervous about using these sites. I am not a gambler at all. However, I have heard many success stories and now that I only need to book for my husband and me and not a room that will hold our children, I thought that it was time to have a go.After reading that someone got Hyatt Regency for $135 , I tried for the same (4 days at the end of May) but was unsuccessful.I really only want a 4 star property because of personal circumstances but we can't pay full price. I would appreciate any advice please. We have never been to Maui so I am going into this blind. We have stayed at Hilton Waikoloa Village on The Big Island and loved it so much that it is hard to follow up onThanks in advance. :)
cruiseaddicted Posted September 27, 2013 Author Report Posted September 27, 2013 I have been offered 4 nights at the end of May,2014 for $680(Australian). This is the description: Free Parking; Free Inrenet; Near beach,1 bedroom suite, Fully equipped kitchen, smoke free rooms, washer and dryer in room; Pool(s); Laundry facilities (self service)Does anyone know where this could be please?
