Priceline Hotel: 3* Maui (Kaanapali - Lahaina) Aston At Papakea Resort

[sleepless2]

I used the bidding links.  I just needed one night on Maui to carry me between two stays at my own condo at Honua Kai, and I found Expedia & Aston offering 1 night for $135 + $18 resort fee.  At 3* there's no free bidding zones, so I tried 3.5* which has 3 but I only used two before quitting

 

3.5* Kaanapali $90

       Kaanapali+Kahului $100

       Kaanapali+Kahului+Kihei N $110

 

3.0* Kaanapali $90 -> accepted with $20 taxes = $110.  I'm not sure if the header should read $90 or $110 but $90 is what I actually bid.

 

I guess I should have started lower but I was thinking it was too highly unlikely.  Learn from my lesson.  I was also surprised how Hotwire offered what I think was the same resort for $109, but when I clicked on it the taxes & fees carried it up to $135, and that wasn't including the resort fee!  I'm happy I saved $25 off of $135 = 15%, but wished I had started a little lower.  Actually, since there was no free bid zones that actually was the only choice unless I wanted to spread it out over mutliple days.
