MKCriswell Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Placed these bids on the same day as check-in, so I may have gotten a better deal than someone trying a month in advance. I first bid for a Resort, South Shore, Kauai at $189 - rejected. Priceline offered me an immediate rebid opportunity if I upped my price $25 - I declined. Then had my successful bid as above.Hilton added $12/day as a mandatory "Resort Fee" which is really a bogus way of making their prices look cheaper by separating out part of the price. Overall, a nice hotel stay - very nice for a 3*, but definitely not in the same class as the "Resort" class hotels on Kauai like the Hyatt. :) Link to comment

LoneStar Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Once again, this property is available direct from Hilton for about $90 or $95 using the 50% off Entertainment Card. So don't bid for it on priceline and pay more (and give priceline an extra fee)! :) If you buy direct, you may also qualify for HiltonHHonors points (they gave them to me on the rate).I'm a little surprised Priceline's rating this only 3 stars. It IS a resort. Mind you, not a grand resort, but a resort. I'd personally rate it 4 stars to differentiate it from the Hawaiian megaresorts (like the Poipu Hyatt). For under $100, it's probably the best hotel deal in all of Hawaii these days. Book it before it's pulled. Link to comment
