September prices are the lowest. Rates then increase until we reach high season starting around December 15th. To compare prices from one year to the next you need to factor in the time of year that you book, as well as the day of the week, as weekends are also higher.

Are these higher prices discouraging Local's from staying at these resorts?
Judging by the cost of living, us "locals" are staying in a resort all the time.

Yes, a non-inclusive resort called Big Island. Pay your admission, then daily, monthly, quarterly, and yearly fees and taxes. Everything else is ala carte.

The Waikaloa Hilton had told us a few years ago that around my birthday (Nov. 1st) is a slow time so rates should be lower. We go over maybe every other year or so, and try not to worry about the rate. The restaurants there however are crazy expensive, so we go somewhere else. There is a food court at the mall on the right side as you leave the Hilton with a food court and there is a Lemon Grass there not related to the one in Keaau. Reasonable prices and the food is good too. There are some condos in Keahou that we've stayed at a couple of times that are very impressive. My wife says they are more like $150 a night. She thinks the place is called the Castle at Keahou. Both places were right on the water with huge lenai's and million dollar views. Both were second story and you had a long stairway right at the entrance doorways. 4-5 pools.

We have stayed there. It's a dated hotel but the rooms were clean and lots of places you can walk to for dining.
