I also am interested. We had a fantastic stay at Al Maha, a Starwood property that sounds somewhat similar. It is normally 60K SPG points but has been discounted over the winter months the last two years to 39K. Mind you, Al Maha includes all meals and two activities a day. Still, a villa property for 13K SPG/40K Marriott seems a great bargain.
Two villas were offered for the same points;
- Pool Villa
- Enclosed Pool Villa
I'm curious as to the difference, and whether both offer a similar desert view. Also, Arrival Transfer is shown under transfers. Is it a paid transfer or complimentary?
I also wonder what the activity menu is along with prices.
