only Platinum MVC - Fairway Villas, Newport Coast, Grande Vista, Desert Springs, Summit Watch (x2), Grande Ocean OS (x2), and too many destination points
Marriott St. Kitts - third floor of the Jessup building. The villa wasn’t ready until about 5:30pm, but we had no complaints about the assignment on the trade, snagged on the Thu before a Sat (which aligned perfectly with United’s Sat only flights, with point saver savings, to boot) checkin this week. It’s pretty much been within 4° of 80° all day, everyday.

Marriott’s Shadow Ridge - New Year’s week, with extended family. We asked for placement in opposite buildings to catch both sunrise and sunset.

Marriott’s Waiohai, late Aug ‘23. Having a patio vs balcony at least made management of our rented surfboards easy (but the actual surfing, not so easy for us newbies!)

bonus pics: daily monk seal, and evening turtle sitings, by the dozens

Thank you. Do you know how to move this?
- I only own Marriott, haven’t perused other resort forums, and didn’t realize that Westins weren’t featured here (I booked directly with destination points).

Actually - Vistana and Marriott have merged, and it's fine to post it here.

Should the two threads be merged then? Perhaps it is time to talk about merging forums?

No - because Vistana and Marriott are still separate, but linked systems. There are too many differences between systems, and merging them would make it difficult to provide accurate info.

St. Kitts Beach Club, 2nd fl ocean view (booked with points, this time). The villa’s adjacent balconies basically proffer a widened view.

Marriott's Kauai Lagoons at Kalanipu'u, taken from 2nd floor of building 1 (Unit 1207) looking towards the Timbers resort in the evening. We had to move from this room, so this is the only photo from here.

Marriott Kauai Lagoons, Room 1101 - Loved this ground floor unit with sweeping views from the lighthouse, then over the golf course towards Timbers resort. Swinging from left to right with my camera, more than 180 degree views.
