I have a lot of Marriott Bonvoy points (7 figures) and my wife and I would like to travel somewhere for two weeks.

Assume for brainstorming that anywhere in the world there is a Marriott property is an option. Category 8 peak rates work too. Have fun with this. What are some destinations and hotel options?

Miami, Hawaii, San Diego, Miami (Oceanfront Marriott properties), Bacara at Santa Barbara(I stayed here for 6 months once, lol), Bali, Singapore(St. Regis, personal butler), Taiwan(Top services), Thailand(Too many), Crete, Santorini (Get your own private pool, great view).....Personal choice - I usually don't like using my points in Europe. I found Europe has way more interesting lodgings to stay than a chain hotel, not super impressed.

Dont use points for bali but highly recommend visiting. Ritz kapalua is amazing service but bad beach. Stay in Wailea or Lahaina instead for more romance/better scenery

I could spend two weeks at the St Regis Punta Mita. Mexico is very easy to travel to right now.

I’ve never been but there’s also a new property that opened in Belize that looks great.

You could also travel around Costa Rica. The W Reserva Conchal is awesome and so is the Westin Reserva Conchal (all inclusive). There’s so much to do in Costa Rica.

I’ve seen too many TikTok’s of people trying to go to Thailand, testing positive and being forced to spend 10 days in a Thai hospital 😂😂.

North Island in the Seychelles. Will run you over 300k points per night, so it depends on whether that’s a low or high 7 figures.

Anyone deal with this before: I inherited a severely under developed team including a sr analyst who clearly was doing the bare minimum, if that. Over the last 6 months I have had to coach him and correct simple mistakes in his work and recently it got so bad that I told him he would receive a low rating in his evaluation. He lashed out, involved HR saying he doesn’t understand why, and now my review points out stuff that I would have let slide.
