Platinum Marriott staying at the Ritz Carlton in Kapalua for 7 nights in July on points for our honeymoon. Odds of getting upgraded? Or do I need to buy upgrade certificates? Thoughts on the property?

Stayed there for our honeymoon. It's a beautiful property. Definitely tell them it's your honeymoon. We were upgraded to a suite (10 day stay) and they added lots of nice special touches.

I like the Westin/Sheraton better for the location. Kapalua is north and off the beaten path from restaurants, etc. that being said it is more quiet and luxurious so depends on your priorities. Upgrade and lounge unlikely since it's a resort + ritz.

Platinum and telling them that it is your honeymoon upon arrival- very high

D2 do you have this experience w/Ritz? Mine is an act of Congress is required, at least for club level, which is the only meaningful upgrade at a Ritz since all the rooms are great.

So buy upgrade certs for a better view, then when I arrive, plead for club level?

Marriott doesn't have "upgrade certificates" like SPG. So all you need to do is call ahead and let the property know about the occasion. The Ritz operates somewhat independently so while they aren't obligated to fulfill your request, they probably will. Good luck

Yeah odds are pretty good, sure just roll the dice for a once in a lifetime special trip good plan

I LOVE that property. Nice quiet beach, and beautiful rooms.

No, but pretty much everywhere upgrades you when you tell them that it is your honeymoon

Doesn't Marriott has a platinum support number? Call them and ask them beforehand

Call them one day advance and tell them that it's your honeymoon. They will do their best

I'm an introverted person, like to keep to myself, focus on work, spend the rest of my time on family, gym etc. I've been told that I need to work on my communication and client relationship building skills. any books I can read? I don't follow pop. culture anymore, no longer actively follow team sports (but sporty myself) as I consider it bread and circus for the masses and don't rly enjoy work drinks... Am I doomed?
