Could anyone recommend a destination so I may utilize a Marriott certificate? Leaning towards Aruba but would love other suggestions. Looking to Scuba and don't want to get board for 7 days/ni.

Have not stayed at the Mariott in Grand Cayman but ate there last summer. The food was wonderful, but then most of the restaurants in GC have great food. The hotel looked very nice and the diving is some of the best around in GC.

Just booked a vacation at Marriott in Curacao using reward points. <BR>Have been to Aruba and thought of returning (we did love this island), but decided to go someplace different.<BR>From message boards sounds like lots of diving in Curacao, but can't comment (we don't dive).<BR>Also thought of Marriott in St. Thomas, Grand Caymen, and Bahamas. We decided on Curacao b/c it seemed like it might be more relaxing. We go Jun 8th.<BR>Pictures of hotel seem lovely. All reviews I've found have been favorable.<BR>Good Luck!

Our favorite island and resort is the Marriott in Curacao. Great accommodations and spectacular downtown area. This option is a little more exotic just because it's a Dutch island.

We were disappointed in the Marriott in Aruba & while we will return to <BR>Aruba we will not go back to the Aruba Marriott. IMHO, it is about a 3 star hotel. Not in same class as Hyatt & Radisson although the 3 are generally categorized as 5 stars in Aruba. Now I should add that others rave about the Marriott in Aruba so you may want to do a search here to balance what I have said. (I am talking about the hotel. The Marriott Ocean Club timeshares in Arube are great. Maybe you can use your certificate. They are south of the hotel.)

You don't mention a time limit on your certificate but the brand new Marriott in St. Kitts is due to open this November. Beautiful looking place with scuba and snorkeling near by. Ken's Dive picks you up off Timothy Beach on the Caribbean side.

Definitely the Aruba Marriott is an awesome place to go. It is very romantic with a waterfall in the swimming pool. My husband and I went there 3 times in 2 years and will be returning this October for our 4th trip. We had such a wonderful experience that nothing else compares.<BR><BR>Aruba has enough to keep you busy for a week especially if this is your first time. Lots of snorkeling sights, etc. Must rent a 4X4 jeep and explore the rugid island. It is awesome!!

Went with another couple to Aruba last June and stayed at Marriott Resorts. We just loved it and are planning another trip in the near future. The hotel was beautiful and very clean, the Italian restaurant was wonderful. We had a blast and would definitely recommend it to everyone! Not to mention the waterfall and swim up pool bar in the pool-just breathtaking! We had the time of our lives on the island!
