I was wondering what the heck happened! We’re now booked at the JW - it’s closer to San Jose (thus closer to both Flora Farms & Tamarindo) so I’m not sure how it will go. I’ll report back, there in 2 weeks.

Ugh I wish we had the jw or westin or options - both are booked out in oct and nov which are the only two months we can go :(

Just booked at JW Los Cabos for December! Great point redemption. 7 night stay was only 270k points

JW Guanacaste Costa Rica and the W - Vieques PR have been by far my two favorite hotels to date. Breakfast in Costa Rica was legendary.

I also have a reservation around labor day and had no idea this happened! I didn’t get any communications from Marriott or hotel yet…do they reach out to you first? And do they provide any help rebooking other properties or compensate for the sudden cancellation?

No call from Marriott just figured it out on my own. Husband is titanium lifetime, called for rebooking and they offered us the Fairfield inn. Thanks Marriott 😡

How many points? Caribbean Marriott Cat 3 property, 5 nights. They have an issue with the boiler so no hot water and shower stops in between. Ice cold showers for 4 days in a row 🥶. Hotel phones don’t work because network is down and only local channels work on tv. Last night they had a huge leak in the lobby. They kept knocking stuff all night to fix it and then left a large floor fan running. I understand it’s tough reopening so don’t want to push, plus they upgraded our room at check in.

I’m married, and one of my coworkers flirts with me. Nothing super overt, but definitely not professional.

It is mostly just odd I’m not super offended, but I’m also clearly uninterested!
