Looking to take a tropical trip next February for wedding anniversary. I’ve got TONS of Marriott points and titanium status. Would love to use some of these points, go to a beach place and all inclusive would be ideal…

Any suggestions? Does this even exist in the Marriott world?

Thanks!

You can start here. There is also the Ritz yacht collection if you really have OT baller points. If you can consider somewhere as far as Abu Dhabi, the Ritz there is pretty damn fancy, especially given the time of year. Since it's February, also consider going South of the equator, where it will be in the middle of summer.

A lot of properties are essentially cashless, but your wife won't see the total bill at any point in time anyway.

I booked JW Maldives overwater bungalow on points for my honeymoon. It was a $1,650 a night room that I got free on points for 5 nights. Do that.

It’s worst than you think. I started my stop watch when I left my home in Houston. 31+ hours later I arrived at my bungalow. Just brutal. Not adjusting for time changes. Over 31 hours from door to door.

However, the best cure for that type of travel is an overwater bungalow in the Maldives for 5 days. Pure relaxation.

Sorry. No relief for the haul back. The trek was worth it but I’ll never do it again.

I just did Zadun a Ritz reserve in Cabo. If seclusion and service is your thing worth looking into. However Cabo while on the ocean isn’t tropical so this probably isn’t what you just throwing it out there.

Laluna Boutique Hotel & Villas in Grenada is wonderful. It’s a Marriott design hotel. We had a wonderful week there.

A friend of mine who works for Marriott International with a concentration in the Caribbean says her favorite property by far is Dorado Beach, a Ritz Carlton Reserve.

Have fun!
