Miami is one of those cities that rewards you for staying well. Whether you're here for Art Basel, a long weekend, or a business trip that turned into a vacation, the right hotel makes all the difference. Marriott's Miami properties range from the ultra-modern JW Marriott Marquis in Brickell to the W South Beach, which sits right on the sand with a rooftop pool that feels like it belongs in a movie. Our top pick for families is the Marriott Biscayne Bay — spacious rooms, easy access to Bayside Marketplace, and a waterfront view that never gets old. For couples, the W South Beach is hard to beat. For points travelers, the Courtyard Miami Downtown offers solid value without sacrificing location. Wherever you stay, book early — Miami fills up fast.

Marriott Bonvoy is one of the most rewarding hotel loyalty programs in the world — if you know how to use it. The basics are simple: earn points when you stay at any Marriott brand property, then redeem them for free nights, room upgrades, and experiences. But the real magic happens when you stack your points with a co-branded credit card. The Marriott Bonvoy Boundless card, for example, gives you a free night certificate every year just for having it — that alone can cover the annual fee. Our advice for beginners: sign up for Bonvoy before your next stay (even if you're not a frequent traveler), link your credit card, and let the points accumulate. You'll be surprised how quickly a weekend getaway becomes free.

The Caribbean is full of beautiful resorts, but the best ones aren't always the most famous. St. Lucia's Marriott properties sit tucked into lush hillsides with views of the Pitons — one of the most dramatic backdrops in the world. Aruba's low-rise resorts along Palm Beach offer calm waters perfect for snorkeling and paddleboarding, with far less foot traffic than Nassau or Cancún. For something truly off the beaten path, consider Curaçao — colorful Dutch colonial architecture, crystal-clear water, and a Marriott property right on the beach. These destinations tend to have better point availability too, meaning your Bonvoy points stretch further. The secret is out, but not by much — book now before everyone else catches on.
