What is the Best US Based Resort to Quarantine for 6+ weeks?

Maybe consider Kauai? At least you could walk around the grounds.

Kauai gets OK to open "resort bubbles." Would you go? - Go Visit Hawaii

If I was informed earlier I would not have cancelled reservations at Ko Olina through the end of September but it is what it is. Marriott and II were not taking any additional Hawaii September reservations due to the current lockdown. Ko Olina would be nice but do not want to return and quarantine for 2 weeks. I was also a bit tired of the politics with Gov. Ige and others.

Looking forward to the next Marriott Timeshare adventure. Actually prefer the Aruba Ocean Club over the Surf Club but can get consecutive 2 bedroom nights at the Surf Club through November. We enjoy the space especially when I'm working past midnight. Washer / Dryer in room is also a big plus for a long stay and the resort is not full which should help with social distancing on the beach.

More updates to follow once plans are finalized (need to pass our Covid test) and a picture from the beach after we arrive.

Frank808, enjoyed meeting you and the time we spent social distancing. Look forward to the next time!

My current Houston view is nothing like our Ko Olina view. We will definitely miss!!! Saturday September 12th 6:33PM Ko Olina balcony Room 11017.

A quick follow up as my Covid-19 quarantine is finally over and back to working normal hours.

6+ weeks turned into almost 49 weeks (341 nights) from March 24th, 2020 to March 1st, 2021. It was an interesting and challenging time working remotely. I definitely value my Marriott Timeshare purchases and system knowledge (much gained from TUG, Thank you!) trying to maximize value. A few interesting data points from the journey:

March 24th – September 14th Marriott Ko Olina Beach Club
September 25th – December 19th Marriott Aruba Surf Club
- October 17th – 31st Marriott Aruba Ocean Club (used as office only, 2 II AC's)
- November 2nd – 30th Marriott Aruba Ocean Club (used as office only, 4 II AC's)
January 2nd – February 6th Marriott Grand Chateau

• 40,750 MVCI points (103 Nights)
