I am adding a day in front and a day on back of an existing reservation and want to use Marriott points. I have the choice of the Renaissance, Marriott Stellaris and the Marriott Surf Club. Does anyone have any advice on which is the best place?

Thanks,

Jen

I don't think that you could use points at the Surf,but if you can do it.Staying at the Surf you still have access to the other properties...Ocean Club ,Surf Club and the Marriott Hotel.All great choices.I have never stayed at the Renn,but people that do love it.

Danny, if I stay at the Surf Club can I use the swimming pools and palapas at the Ocean Club and Stellaris?

I think you can.During high season i know you cant use the Surf property if you stay at the Ocean or Marriott.The only thing I know is that you cant use the lazy river if you are staying at the Ocean Club or the Marriott.

Dannyo - I am able to get the Surf Club for points. I was surprised too when it popped up.

I decided to try the first night at the Ren Suites and the last night at the Surf Club (it will be nice to have the washer and dryer to wash up all of the clothes before packing to go home).

Thanks!

Not anymore...
The only remaining reciprocity is between the Ocean Club and the Stellaris pools (not the palapas...)

I am more of a beach person. Is the any trouble getting palapas at the Surf club?

A few years ago we were supposed to go to Hawaii and we couldn't use points.Thats good to know.
