Our next trip will more than likely be the Sheraton even at Lifetime T 's I really don't expect the Marriott to do anything other than a cup of coffee.
Thanks for the additional comments. I have never stayed at the Westin, but this Sheraton stay will be number 3 (both late Fall, once previously in Moana Hale and once in an ocean view directly above the pool, both upgrades on "cheap" reservations).
I have read all the reports about the Wailea Marriott here as well, which is why I picked Sheraton black rock again for this visit. This will be island visit #15 overall, across a total of 11 Hawaii trips (some trips were island hopping).
This is my fiance's first visit to Hawaii and I knew I would be able to give her the royal treatment at Sheraton (and a Moana room again, which is absolutely perfect). Not so much down south.
Oh, and we're doing a night at Hotel Lanai between these other two. it's a whirlwind trip. Can't wait.
