I have Marriott points and miles and am planning a trip for the spring. I've been to St Thomas. Any opinions on St. Kitts, Curacao or Aruba?

This is just my opinion. I have stayed at the Marriott in Aruba(1x) and St. Kitts(3x). Both Marriotts and the casinos are nice. The rooms are well-kept.
We preferred the St. Kitts Marriott. There were more choices for meals, the rooms are larger in the out buildings and the staff was more attentive. I haven't stayed in the main building in St. Kitts and in Aruba there is only a main building.
We also preferred St. Kitts since it is not over developed and the dining choices away from the hotel were better, IMO. On both islands, taxis are easy to get and both are easy to drive, as well.

Hi, beachykeen-

We were in Curacao this past March and stayed at the Marriott. It is a wonderful resort with the friendliest people!
I have read very good things about St. Kitts, though haven't been there (yet).
The Aruba Marriott...especially the Surf Club units...gets very good reviews. When we were in Aruba we stayed at the Radisson, a really beautiful place.

As a suggestion, try doing a "search" on this forum for Marriott. You will find many reviews. Another great source is tripadvisor dot com. Just enter the resort name and you will find candid traveler photos (mine are out there), and opinions (all usually very favorable of the Marriott Curacao).

Enjoy!

Stayed at the Aruba Marriott and Grand Cayman both on points.
The Aruba hotel was much larger scaled. I liked both hotels for different reasons. Both islands were very friendly and had great food. The Aruba hotel was more of a resort destination hotel with more amenities. The Cayman hotel was quieter. Both were great and I would return to either one...especially on points!

Hi, I have been to the Marriotts on Aruba, St. Kitts and Curacao, you can do a search for my comments. Hands down our favorite is Curacao -- a smaller, low rise resort with more personality than the other two which are mega resorts. We also really liked Curacao, great european/caribbean charm, wonderful restaurants, good snorkeling and pretty cove-like beaches. We are planning on returning to Curacao and splitting our time between the Marriott and the Kura Hulanda Lodge for two different experiences.

We stayed at the Marriott when we were in Curacao. A great hotel with spacious rooms and a wonderful staff. Try curacao.com for a start of your research of the island.
