Go to Malaysia! It's the Costa Rica of Asia. Tons of cool stuff to do. Jungle hiking, caving, snorkeling/diving, great food, friendly people.

There are a ton of Marriotts, and they are all super cheap.

JW Marriott Phu Quoc, if you like to maximize your points. Open challenge to others: find me a better ROI for a 5-star property.

For context I’ve been rated as a strong performer consistently and am not new to the job so it’s not a lack of understanding.
