To the point Here are some Marriott Bonvoy hotels to book now before the introduction of dynamic pricing!

Beginning March 29, 2022, Marriott Bonvoy will move to dynamic pricing, and the point value per night for certain hotels will increase. Here are some examples of hotels to book before this date.

1. The Maldives

When we think of the Maldives, the image of overwater villas with a calm atmosphere, reefs rich in coral and marine life, etc., immediately comes to mind.

A stay in this archipelago can be costly. However, if you turn to Marriott Bonvoy points, it’s suddenly more accessible.

Since there are few low-cost options for overnight stays in overewater villas in the Maldives, this is an opportunity to take right away.

2. French Polynesia

In French Polynesia, it is possible to have a similar experience in an overwater villa in Bora Bora with Marriott Bonvoy points.

This destination differs from the Maldives by its culture, its landscape and the fact that we are less isolated in our resort.

3. Japan

Kyoto is a city with a lot of history and charm. From the temples to the famous Gion district to the bamboo forest of Arashimaya, Kyoto is a must-see on a trip to Japan.

While there are other less expensive options for accommodations in Kyoto outside of the Marriott Bonvoy program, a stay at The Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto will give you a taste of Japanese luxury. A luxury experience in Japan is often beyond our North American standards!

5. Hawaii

Hawaii is a dream vacation destination. There is something for everyone with activities at the beach or on the island.

Maui’s picturesque scenery is breathtaking. Since there aren’t many other options with Marriott Bonvoy on the island, it’s best to book your stay before the 30,000 points surcharge!
