I am not sure about on-line for many of these hotels. But I know that for Hotel rooms...you can often negotiate the price. Most printed prices are the "rack" rate...that outrageous rate that is first quoted. Then you need to inquire about discounts. Triple AAA, corporate, government....whatever they will honor. Hawaii is very much a culture of bartering for price.

The only drawback I could see is this: 1. It is Maui---the most popular island for tourists.
2. It is during spring break.

The second factor could be crucial to the negotiating price.

With that said...I am not sure how much everyone wants to be at the same place. If that is a factor than you may be limited. But, I know there are hotels in Kaanapali that are cheaper...for those who may want to go that route.

When I am researching a place...I go to the bookstore and grab travel books. Many will let you know about the good deals. Some will still list the highest price. But if you call the hotel direct...that is where the bartering begins!!

Let me know what I can do to help.

But, I know most of you have made so much money from your GNET that price is no object <gg>
