The JW is on the beach, a nicer hotel overall, but further from town and more expensive for meals and on points.
Curious if anyone has any insight on a decision to make here.
Also, open to other options if I'm missing something.
They are Gold status FWIW
Cannot speak to the Renaissance but the JW a couple years ago when I went was a great experience. It had a great pool. Service was quite lovely and it’s connected to the larger Marriott next-door where you could go and access their restaurants and services etc. as well.
I would certainly see if having their facilities nearby might help make the decision. I also recall that there’s a pretty easy bus that runs up and down that Main Street that is easy to hop off and on too.

hope that helps
