I've stayed with my wife at the Marriott Aruba and St. Thomas. Of the two I preferred St. Thomas, but would recommend staying in the Morningstar Beach portion (instead of Frenchman's Reef or whatever they call the main property). We had a room with a balcony literally right over the beach at the far end of the beach away from the main resort. We liked the additional privacy and didn't mind the small extra walk when we wanted to go to one of the restaurants in the main building.

Aruba wasn't bad; it just didn't feel as special as St. Thomas, but the casinos add a little excitement.

BTW, I'm also looking for POVs on Marriotts on islands we haven't been to yet. I'm looking at Grand Cayman, Curacao and St. Kitts. If anyone can share plusses and minuses of these it would be much appreciated!
