tanz930 Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 I am traveling to Maui for my honeymoon from 6/29 to 7/5. We would like to stay in a resort in Kaanapali. That is really the only zone that we would prefer to stay in. I have tried bidding sporadically for the last month. Lately, I have been bidding daily. I have bid anywhere from $200-$250, and all of my attempts have been rejected. The max I am willing to pay is $300. Does anyone have any advice?? Thanks! Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Rates are nearly (or over) $500/nite for your dates above! :) Are you willing to bid up to your limit at this time?Would you have any interested in a condo property?

tanz930 Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 I just tried $290. No luck :-(I will try again with $300 tomorrow.What is your opinion of the condos there?p.s. off topic, but i am a Michigan alum and huge Michigan fan also :-) Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 It really depends what you're looking for... i've never been to Maui so i can't speak firsthand. Usually i like the nicer hotels, but when we were in Kaui we had a condo unit and it was great. It wasn't as polished as the resorts, but it served our needs quite well... large 1BR suite, kitchen and refrigerator (we didn't cook, but was very handy for beer, wine, laundry in the unit, prices for things on the property were quire reasonable. We were traveling with out 10 month old at the time, so perhaps that is why we liked it so much as it was covenient to have the second room and a refrigerator to keep the milk cold. I guess that's the long version... short version is it depends what you're looking for and your budget.Here are some reviews of the Kaanapli Shores and you can use that info to form your own opinion.Let us know your thoughts and we'll take it from there.

tanz930 Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 I tried up to $330 with no luck. My fiance ended up bidding $350 and getting the Sheraton. Seems quite expensive for PRICELINE, but I looked at the rack rates for our weeks vs. other weeks, and seems we just are traveling during a very expensive week. We still saved over $200 from the rack rate. Link to comment

bitachu Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Damn thats an expensive trip...i saw somewhere that someone got the sheraton maui for about 185...although i think it was in sept or nov.... Link to comment
bluedog925 Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Actually, the OP got a pretty good deal for that time of the year. I justchecked the Sheraton's site and the minimum accommodation is running $455 a night.Besides, it's the OP's honeymoon, so why not splurge a little :) Link to comment
