I was watching this for a while on Hotwire.  It was at $155/night on Hotwire in 2nd half of May. Then, on May 29th, it dropped to $127 and stayed there.  Since the price drop happened in end of May, I wonder if it was due to hotel not getting enough rooms booked by end of May?

 

I was also interested in Marriott or Hilton Waikoloa, but at the $127/n price, I think Hapuna Beach is a very good deal.  On Priceline, a 4* hotel at Waikoloa was $162/night.  Hotels.com was offering Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel at $208/night for same dates. (~40% savings)

 

I was going to wait another month, or even to see if Hotwire was going to have discounts for Father's Day (like they did for Mother's day), but I had a sinking feeling the low price might not last long.

 

The Amenities list was:

FULL AMENITIES: Resort, Beachfront hotel, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Self-service laundry, Internet access, Golf nearby, Tennis nearby, Spa services, Children's activities, In-room accessibility, Accessible parking

Just a follow-up from this visit --

 

The Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel amenities list "Self-service laundry" but when we got to the hotel, there was no self-service laundry.

I complained to Hotwire.  

 

Basically, they give you 2 options --

1.  Hotwire can cancel your reservation without any fees.  (Not a good option if we are already there and checked-in),

2.  $50 Hot-dollars for future Hotwire booking.  They would not apply credit to existing booking or give me money back.

Thanx for the follow-up.

 

We hope you had a nice stay.
