Marriott Rewards (including Ritz-Carlton) - Best Marriott to use for Travel Package?

I have 311,000 points so far and stay in a Marriott weekly. I would like to book a travel package to use Oct. 16-23 for a fun relaxing celebration with my best friend. Recommendations on the best Marriott to go to?

Desired destination and time of year would help guide my affirmative hotel recommendations for you. Some properties I would list as don't pick would be the JW Marriott in Chicago and the JW Marriott in Palm Desert CA. I would recommend the Marriott Marquis in San Diego and the JW Marriott in San Antonio. Both of these resorts had great on site amenities with great pools and good dining, and were near family friendly activities. This may not be your criteria, so tell us what you are looking for...

since Marriott offers Cat 1-8 as well as RC Tier 1-5 in 3700 props all over the world, if you would advise preference of US/Can, Europe, Asia, etc., by a beach, in a city, in the jungle..........that might help .................

I'm on the East Coast and would like somewhere maybe by the beach. I would like to relax, have fun, do some activities and get some sun if possible. I would like to get the points worth for the whole week.

Cayman would be nice if you want somewhere nearby.

Take a look at the travel packages that are available for 310,000 points:

http://www.marriott.com/rewards/usepoints/morepack.mi

For example, 310,000 points will give you 7 Nights at a Category 7 property plus 100,000 miles on Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, US Airways, or a number of other carriers.

You don't have to use the airline points for the same vacation as the hotel/resort part.

There are a bunch of nice Category 7 properties under the Marriott, Renaissance, Autograph Collection, JW Marriott, and Marriott Vacation Club brands.

Consider, for example, the JW Marriott Ihilani Ko Olina Resort & Spa, if you're looking for a beach. However, using airlines points to Hawaii can be tricky, because many people try to book the limited inventory 330 days before travel.

I would like the JW Marriott Ihilani Ko Olina Resort and Spa, but it will be closed for renovations. Thanks for the suggestions.
