Priceline Hotel: Resort Maui (Wailea - Makena) Renaissance

[kcmaclaren]

This worked out really well. After a bunch of rejected (apparently lowball) bids, I was prepared to pay $200 for something halfway decent on the beach.

I tried what would probably have been the last time, and got into the Renaissance at a really good price, for being on the beach and all. I suppose it pays to just keep at it so long as you have the time.

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Yes, another example of perseverence paying off and inventory changing at any time!

Can you please clarify the zone and/or star rating? Wailea South isn't a priceline zone (Wailea-Makena) is, but i don't see 5* bidding available anywhere on Maui.

Thanks!

Yes, it was Wailea-Makena zone (which is the south side). I didn't see others using the "Resort" category, so went with 5* in my post -- it was Resort on Priceline, however.

We do use the 'Resort' designation... if you check out Florida Orlando or Arizona Phoenix/Scottsdlae you'll see a lot more resorts. Priceline uses a 5* designation as well, although they're far and few between for US properties (Venetian Las Vegas is the most well known).

To keep things simple, we we use whatever rating and zone Priceline uses (or zone and rating as per Hotwire, if that service was used to book).

Thanks for clarifying.
