We have a gazillion Marriott points. Looking higher end properties with larger than average rooms or suites if possible, close to activities more than the beach. All adults, Dec-Jan |
Ritz Turtle Bay |
Any island in particular? |
any island, probably 2 different islands |
Marriott Wailea in Maui |
Ritz Kapalua has full kitchen suites overlooking ocean. Expensive. Cole’s with nice lounge with good breakfasts and cocktails. Only downside is our unit could have used some upgrades |
Ritz Turtle Bay. In Waikiki, believe it or not, the Sheraton. |
+1 on Ritz Kapalua. We stayed last year in an ocean view room and had a wonderful time. Really enjoyed the property. |
We’ve stayed at the Ritz Kapalua and Mauna Kea on the Big Island and both were great. |
Define a gazillion. 400k? 2 million? |
Mauna Kea on big island was great. |
Mauna kea. Unbelievably wonderful, outstanding mostly private beach. |
Hated the Ritz kapalua. Felt like Disney with people throwing towels on chairs at 7am. Kids constantly in the adult only hot tub (I have kids, so I don’t hate them, I just don’t want to be splashed by them in a hot tub). Beach area is small and rocky. Resort is pretty far from most stuff. I wished we’d stayed at the 4 Seasons tbh. |
Also did not enjoy it there. It was so windy too. Turtle Bay is beautiful, and I loved the lobby. The rooms aren’t typical ritz standard but the views around the property is truly stunning. |
Agree with this! |
