Which Marriott by beach to use points for
 
I'm looking to take a vacation for about 6 days or so with a friend in October. I'm looking for a great Marriott to stay at for a birthday celebration and will be using points for the stay. Suggestions on ones to go to would be appreciated. Thanks!

I was just looking at that one! Have you stayed there? What was it like?

RC San Juan is certainly among my favorite close by.

If you are willing to bend on the whole sunbathing part the RC Half Moon Bay is awesome, though you won't get much of a tan nor is there a "real" beach.

The RC Bali is also amazing, but a bit longer of a flight.

In Florida, I'd go with Marco island, harbor beach or Eden roc.

It may be too late in the season, but wentworth by the sea is a good choice

Ritz in Naples or grand cayman can't be beat.

Renaissance Phuket or JW Khao Lak

These are all excellent recommendations!

In Florida, the Harbor Beach Marriott in Ft. Lauderdale is one of my favorite Marriott's anywhere. Its on a great stretch of beach, has a very nice pool, spa, etc. And I've always received great service there.

Depending on how many points you have to use, the Cayman RC is spectacular and on the best part of 7-mile beach.

The Ritz in Naples is very nice

I'll assume you're referring to Naples, Florida.......

Eden Roc Miami Beach

Get a room in their Ocean Tower. Amazing views + all rooms in the ocean tower have balconies.

If you're an Elite member, they really take care of Plats with upgrades. One of the most generous properties in my experience.

is this hotel still standing (next to the Fountainbleu)................ I remember this place when it was home to the TV show Surfside 6 and that was back in the stone age!

LoL yep, still standing! They 'remodeled' the original tower + added a new Ocean tower back in 2009/2010 I believe.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I have about 260,000 now, but will have over 300,000 by the time I go.

Make sure you check all the RC's for their supersavers and 5th night free offers.
