Marriott Bonvoy hotels in the Caribbean

We are planning a milestone trip next winter and were looking at the Four Seasons in Nevis, but it doesn't seem to discount and $925/night doesn't make sense while we are sitting on just under a million Bonvoy points.

Nevis is a draw for us, due to the history and the volcano and the very quiet nature of the island. Any thoughts on the most similar Bonvoy property we could try? Using the "buy 4 get 1" deal plus two other nights, I see Category 8 is 85K points/night, so we'd only have to use 510K points for a week, which sounds really good to us.

I've got the (?) next to Caribbean because that is my default when I think "beach, warm, quiet, under 6 hours to get to there", but that's not a requirement. Any place there's a beach, warm water and air, and quiet would work for us, and preferably some history or hiking or things to do during the day in addition to the beach, and as long as we can get to there from Boston in under 6 hours travel time or so*. We've been to Mexico a few times, but we are looking for something totally new. I know there is a St. Regis in Puerto Rico and I might be able to be convinced to go there. Good restaurants in walking or reasonable cab distance away is a big plus

We come from the SPG program, so know those options fairly well, but not necessarily all the upper end options. I don't know anything about the Ritz-Carlton or other former Marriott properties. I know there is a Ritz in Grand Cayman and one in St. Thomas, but we have been to those islands and they are too busy places for our plans.

All Inclusive is not needed

Fully expect that this isn't possible, but hoping to be surprised by my friends on the board.

* Basically I think we are looking to repeat but significantly upgrade a similar trip we took to Providenciales, so many years ago, when we stayed at Grace Bay in a midrange property. Great beach and pool, pretty quiet, short ride to restaurants with a couple of places on property.
