Okay - we'll be getting a travel reward with enough points to upgrade from coach to First Class on American. We'll use Starwood points for 5 days at the Princeville (hopefully - if it's still available post-sale).

For the 7 Marriott days, we'd like to stay 4 days at the Jw Marriott Ihilani on Oahu. That leaves three days and one more island. From the postings I've read and the reviews, it seems that the choice is between the Renaissance Wailea on Maui and the Waikoloa Beach Resort on the Big Island.

We are two couples in our late 50's - no kids travelling with us. We'd probably choose the best hotel/resort if everything else was equal.

Appreciate any insight/advice. Thanks.
