Best Marriott Hotels

Guests have a habit of falling in love with this Marriott's unbeatable location. The resort sports panoramic views of the Pacific from many different points in the hotel, including its spacious rooms (starting at 437 square feet). Accommodations here sport amenities like private balconies, flat-screen TVs and in-room coffee makers. (If you don't mind paying extra, previous guests suggest splurging on an oceanfront room – some travelers say it's worth the extra coin for the sunset views.) The resort also features the Mandara Spa, the Wailea Golf Club, a fitness center and multiple pools, including the adventure pool with water slides, perfect for traveling families. What's more, many guests cite the staff as outstanding. Because of this hotel's family ties, the Wailea Beach Marriott Resort & Spa participates in the Marriott Rewards loyalty program.

To some, Singer Island is even more exclusive than its southern neighbor, Palm Beach (and definitely a little more trendy than West Palm Beach). And it's also a little farther removed from the area's best-loved activities. But booking a stay at Singer Island's Marriott will assure you enjoy one feature for sure: A quiet white-sand beach that's just a few leisurely steps from the lobby. Recent lodgers particularly recommend the Palm Beach Marriott Singer Island Beach Resort & Spa for those seeking a relaxing escape, since the 193 condo-style suites there are spacious and come apppointed with full kitchens, calming color schemes and marble bathrooms outfitted with showers and separate soaking tubs. Other benefits that accompany a stay at this Marriott resort include access to the highly acclaimed Si Spa and the tasty and varied culinary offerings at 3800 Ocean. The resort also boasts two other on-site eateries, two pools and a fitness center. Another bonus: If you're a Marriott Rewards member, you can use or earn points by choosing to bed down here.

Not to be confused with the adjacent JW Marriott Cancun Resort & Spa, the 450-room CasaMagna Marriott Cancun Resort boasts beachfront amenities within reach of all the excitement Cancun's Hotel Zone has to offer. But you may be hard-pressed to find a reason to venture off the property: The CasaMagna Marriott Cancun features eight restaurants, a coffee shop and a lobby bar, and according to previous guests, a memorable breakfast buffet at La Capilla Argentine Steakhouse. Drinks are served at Las Ventanas Lobby Bar until midnight; however, guests say that ordering beverages here can deplete your funds quickly. During the day, pass the time lounging by the heated outdoor pool or along the CasaMagna Beach. When it comes time to bed down for the night, you'll unwind in comfortable digs appointed with pillow-top mattresses, marble bathrooms, minibars, 50-inch flat-screen TVs and wireless internet access (for a fee). Because this resort is part of the Marriott family, Marriott Rewards members can earn or redeem perks for choosing to stay here.

A modern choice for travelers visiting the city's Northern Zone, this Marriott hotel sits just 3 miles north of downtown Aguascalientes in central Mexico. Its spacious, elegantly styled rooms feature soundproof windows, 32-inch LCD TVs, minibars, coffee makers and featherbeds. And while guests heap praise on the standard guest rooms, they also recommend forking over the extra coin (or Marriott Rewards points) for Executive-level digs. By staying in one of these rooms, you'll have access to the exclusive 16th-floor Executive Lounge, where complimentary continental breakfasts, midday snacks, afternoon tea and evening hors d'oeuvres are served. When small bites just won't do, head to the Condimento restaurant to sample zesty Mexican and international plates, or heed the advice of previous guests and explore the Northern Zone's food scene. But before visiting Aguascalientes, visit the U.S. State Department website for the most up-to-date travel advisories and safety tips.

The Marriott Puerto Vallarta Resort & Spa's enviable location gives it an edge over other Puerto Vallarta area resorts. Though situated just south of the airport, this Marriott branch maintains a peaceful atmosphere and pristine beach. If you're looking to hit the links, a stay at the Marriott Puerto Vallarta puts you less than half a mile from Marina Vallarta Golf Club and less than 7 miles from the Vista Vallarta Golf Club. And while the food at the property's four restaurants and two on-site bars garner mixed reviews, guests here are within reach of the many restaurants found at the nearby marina. However, you'll want to stay on the resort's grounds to take full advantage of its multiple pools and whirlpool or relax with a massage or a yoga class at the Ohtli Spa and Fitness Center. Whether you've spent the day lounging on the grounds or swinging on the greens, you can rest your head on a signature Marriott "Revive" bed in one of the Marriott Puerto Vallarta's modern guest rooms and suites. Each room features bright, Mexican-inspired accents and comes outfitted with a private balcony or terrace, a 42-inch TV, an iPod docking station and Wi-Fi access (for an additional fee). And because of this resort's Marriott ties, guests with Marriott Rewards points can cash them in here for perks.
