Why do you like the Mariott Wailea better than the Grand Wailea? I stayed at the GW two years ago and loved it! From what I could tell from the outside, we made a good decision when we walked by the Marriott.
I am Marriott Plat now, so I would consider a stay the next time if the rooms or service were on par with the GW.
