Property recommendation
I am looking to take a vacation with my girlfriend toward the end of September,beginning of October. I plan to use points, somewhere around 120k for 5 nights (4 nights+1 free)
Does anyone have any recommendations for where we should go? We would be leaving from the NY area, so flight costs are a concern. Other than that, we are willing to go anywhere in the world. I was looking at the list of properties that offer seasonal discounts, and some seem very interesting.
I am a Marriott Platinum member if that makes a difference.

- International or domestic location?
- Beach resort or city vacation?

This is not a beach warm weather destination, but one of these days I highly recommend that you try Wentworth by the Sea, a Marriott resort in northern New Hampshire, across the river from Maine. It's a great time of year to go and a wonderful location for all things lobster. It's a beautiful property with great historic character, one that we enjoy very much.
OK, over to others for beach suggestions.

My husband and I are late 20s/early 30s and stayed at Scrub Island Resort in the BVIs back in May - cannot recommend that property enough. Great rooms, service, food, activites, etc. My husband says it is his favorite property we have visited (it's my #2, I still prefer Hawaii). It looks like they have a seasonal award discount in the fall - 5 nights for 120k, but it is hurricane season, so that can be a concern.
Have not stayed here, but my co-workers all highly recommend the Aruba Marriott and they also have a seasonal discount. It should be far enough south that hurricanes should not be an issue.

good choice, but its a Cat 8 (40k/night) which exceeds the desired 120k cap...........also, actually finding availability for 5-nights to get 5th night "free" is a task unto itself.........
