Priceline- Maui?

[Andrea_loves_Disney]

Hello people!!
Has anybody ever used Priceline (name your price) for a hotel in Maui? I have 3 nights booked in June at one place (splurging in Wailea!) and want to stay another 3 nights at another hotel...I'm thinking of trying my luck when it gets closer via Priceline. We really want one of the nicer hotels on the Kaanapali side (Westin, Marriott, Sheraton) but I don't want to pay the big price!! Thoughts anyone? Thanks in advance!

Check out www.biddingfortravel.com or www.betterbidding.com to see what other people have paid and which hotels they ended up with. We use them every time we use priceline and have always been happy with the result. They even give you strategies on how to get free bids.

I agree with Musicdude. Those two sites are what we use. We have used Priceleine on Oahu and were happy with it. We haven't tried Maui.

i did it last summer for my senior in laws. worked like a acharm. 129 nite for 7 nights at the sheraton on the beach - right at the diving cliffs.. i used better bidding to keep an eye on things. also used hotwire and secured the grand wailea for 3 nights for the high 200s. i used better bidding to figure out the hotel. I was hooked on the GW so I convinced them to stay there for acouple nights.

The sheraton also gave you a 30 credit for food if you called them each day and told them you didnt need maid service. They doubled it if you had dinner before 6pm.

btw- my in laws liked the sheraton better . easier to get around and less expensive food, parking drinks ect. they didnt theink gw was worth theprice.

Just something to think about -- if you stay at the sheraton and forget the wailea -- you could have probably another 1000 for excursions. (and still visit the Grand wailea if you wanted).
