Does anyone know what type of room you get using points at the Ritz.
From the standpoint of location, I think the Marriott in Wailea wins hands down. The Marriott arguably has one of the most stunning spots along the 2-mile Wailea walking track. The Ritz is on the more touristy side of the island--but that can be an advantage since it's an easy ride to a significant array of shopping and restaurants. However, the physical facility of the Ritz is far nicer--Marriott rooms have been refurbished but the overall buildings seem dated. My suggestion--do both!
