A few years ago, we visited with another couple that insisted on using their M points. Arriving on different days, we stayed at EB for a night and they arrived the next day to stay at the Marriott. After visiting us at EB, they said they made a mistake. They felt like EB was more an island hotel with the laid back atmosphere that they wanted. Although they had a nice villa at Marriott, they said it could be anywhere, Miami, LA
The bar is on the beach and has great food and drinks. What more do you want??
