Hotwire Hotel: Hotwire - Big Island - Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel?

[bestroope]

Hi all,

Last year I stayed at the Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel on the Big Island, and I absolutely loved it! There is currently a listing on Hotwire that looks like it might be the HBPH, but the amenities are different from those in the Better Bidding Hotwire Hotel list. Any thoughts?

Current Hotwire listing

4 1/2* Waikoloa- Kohola Coast

3/6/2010 - 3/13/2010 (and many other dates) $183

Beachfront

Smoke free rooms

Fitness center

Pools

Restaurants

Business center

High-speed internet access

Golf nearby

I wonder if the "beachfront" amenity is the key here. The hotels, resorts, and condos on the Kohola coast mostly seemed to be "ocean front" by Hotwires definition rather than "beachfront."

Opinions are much appreciated! And, thanks again for such a cool site.

This property unfortunately has not yet been reported to the board/ID'd.

This would not appear to be the Hapuna Beach Prince, as the tripadvisor rating showing on the detail page does not match.

However, if you are interested in Hapuna Beach Prince, there is a Stay 2 Nights, Get 1 Free deal (so you would get 2 nights free) via Orbitz, with the average price working out to be $213.56 (it's otherwise $298.99 per night.)

With the coupon code WELCOME10 taking another 10% off, that takes it down to $192 and change per night, only a couple of dollars more than the HOTWIRE listing.

Please use the site's Orbitz.com, HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links.

If you return to HOTWIRE and click the CONTINUE button next to this offering, then click the "See all amenities" link under the icons, do you then seen additional amenities of Tennis and Childrens Activities?

This property has not yet been reported to the board, but if i were to take a guess i think the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel looks like a good match.

If you're looking for the Hapuna Beach Prince the Orbitz deal referenced above (nice find AaronJB!!) looks like a good option.

Yes, you're right, when I click on "continue" and then "see all amenities," I see the additions of Tennis and Childrens Activities.

Thanks thereuare and AaronJB! I haven't decided yet if I'm going to book it, but if I do I'll definitely use this site. You guys have been very, very helpful.

Happy to help! :) Let us know what you decide or if you have further questions.

Wow.. the Mauna Lani for under $200 is a great deal! I hope I can get the same for our last night on the Big Island in June. I will keep checking!

Thanks to all who share information on this board.
