Bidding for 3&1/2* for $70 - $100 for a week with no success.
Bidding for Resort for $100 - $115 for a week with no success, finally at $115 I received a counteroffer to add $23
Rebid today and won for $125 for hotel above

Not the biggest saving, but bidding in KOA is rather difficult with only 3 bid zones.

Hotwire rates
Waikola: $132/night unknown 4*
Kona: $166/nigh unknown 4*
*These prices on hotwire varied every day and was hard to base my bids sometimes... Kona was $137/night last week and $118/night last night.
Orbitz: $188/night
Sheraton Hotel Kona: $159/night
*Note there is a $31/night "resort" fee

Thank you for placing your bid through our link to Priceline. I think you bid too high too far in advance.
