Marriott's
 

I have several hundred thousand Marriott rewards and the week of March 24 available. I'd like to steer clear of Spring Breaker's. Recommendations?

South of France at Cap D'Ail near Nice?

You won't find many spring breakers at the Marriott Resorts. They have restrictions. Not many go to Marco Island. Actually, it shouldn't be too bad at Harbor Beach in Fort Lauderdale as the resort is away from the main A1A public beach. <BR><BR>We are staying at the South Beach Marriott on the 23-25th to see the Nasdaq Open Tennis on Key Biscayne. The places we go, Baleen, Smith and Wollensky, the tennis tournament won't be inundated by spring breakers. <BR><BR>Weren&quot;t you one once? (a spring breaker) I stayed in a Fort Lauderdale motel with 10 other sorority sisters. We were probably boring by todays standards but we had a great time. I still try to have a drink at the Elbo Room when in Fort Lauderdale. LMF

You can redeem Marriott points for the Ritz-Carlton Kapalua, Maui. That's what we're doing next week. Good luck.

The Desert Springs Marriott Resort in Palm Springs is very nice. Also, the Marriott Frenchmans Reef.

Also the Esmeralda Renaissance in Indian Wells is fabulous. We got a corner room overlooking the fabulous pool. The room was huge with windows on two walls. Terrific staff and very busy bar during happy hour.

Costa Rica!! The Marriott on the beach in the Gunacastle area.
