Is 160,000 points for Ritz Carlton Residences on Wakiki beach too much? Moana surf rider also has the same redemption cost in points. Ritz is $540 per night in March. How good is the property?

This is a good price. The Ritz is the nicest Marriott in Waikiki. The 2nd option would be Waikiki Beach Marriott as it has been completely renovated, then Moana Surf would be 3rd.

Thank you!

Per night?

Sorry this is for 3 nights!

Oh then it's a great deal!

I just spent 1 night there a few weeks ago - awesome and modern rooms. The pool decks were totally chill with an awesome sunset view. Marriott Ambassadors get a free half day pass for a pool cabana. I would say worth it.

Yes great redemption—the trick when you’re trying to figure out whether somethings good or not is to calculate the cents per point you’re getting from the redemption (dollar value of stay incl taxes/total points).

With Marriott the general consensus is usually around .8 cents per point or more is a great redemption, and to never use them for anything below .5 cents per point. In your case you’re >1cent per point so you’re doing pretty good.
