Hawaii Prince Hotel Waikiki $79!

We’ve previously written about the Hawaii Prince Hotel Waikiki, which is one of our all-time favorite Honolulu luxury hotels. When we wrote about it a few months ago, we shared our review as well as a number of tips for staying here. At that time we were thrilled to share a price of $179 per night, which includes a $50 hotel credit. That deal is still available for stays through September 30.
Even as Hawaii residents, we have never been offered a price anywhere as cheap as $79 per night at this 4-star resort. At that price, this is truly an incredible hotel value.
How did it happen?
I heard that the hotel was available for as little as $79 per night on Priceline and decided to give it a try. My bid was for a 4-star hotel in the Waikiki Marina. The offer was accepted on my first attempt. Who knows, you might even be able to get it for less.
If you decide to try a bid, let us know how it works for you.

Jeff,
Perfect timing! I got $79.00 on Priceline for the Hawaii Prince Hotel! I started to put $75.00 but chickened out since this was my first time using it!
We are going to Hawaii in September for our honeymoon and wanted to stay a couple of days in Wakiki during the Aloha Festival.
Now, all we need is the air fare to complete our stay. Please keep us posted on air fair and interland deals.
Thanks so much!

Hi Dana,
I started at $65 last week, which was rejected, before I’d heard of the successes at $79, and then like you, decided to just get the room. I’m not a Priceline fan, in part because I find it to be a time waster.
Will you be flying from DC?
Aloha, Jeff
[...] instance, we just found evidence of a 4 star Waikiki Hotel, the Hawaii Prince Hotel Waikiki, for a mere $79/night! Thanks to Beat of Hawaii for the heads [...]

I just got the same great deal for this hotel on priceline.com. Before I saw this article on the internet, I was about to book my vacation on expedia for $155 per nt. I followed the suggestions of the other people and went to priceline.com, checked the box for Waikiki MARINA, and then the box for a 4-star hotel, and offered $79.00. At first, I offered $69.00, which the site rejected and then suggested that I add $17.00 to my bid. Instead, I offered the $79.00 amount that the other people offered, and my bid was accepted! Now, I will be staying at the Hawaii Prince Hotel during the first week of September — and can’t wait. Thanks so much for the suggestions!
Aloha, Andrea
I tried for the Oct 2009 and was rejected at $79.
Hi Pat,
Too far in the future for Priceline hotel deal. Suggest you book something tohold in the interim and try again say a month before.
Aloha, Jeff
Jeff,
We are looking to fly out around Sept. 10 and returning on Sept. 22.
Aloha, Dana
Dana,
Airfares out of BWI (you never said which airport) aren’t bad for your dates, at just over $600. You can wait and they may be better by up to $200, but you never know.
Aloha, Jeff
I just booked Prince last night and got $75.00 a night – 6 nights at $520 including all taxes and fees!
I am a fan of priceline – I got our airfare round trip from LAX for $225.00 a ticket and a rental car – mid size for 7 days at $152 total (including taxes and fees)
Our family of 4 is going to Hawaii next Monday for $1347.00 for 6 nights (Our daughter is 1 so she didn’t need airfare) – Airfare, a 4 star hotel, and a rental car!
