You get the private-home life we\u2019re known for, plus the support you already trust from Marriott.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s what we bring:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Your own private pool<\/strong>, just steps from your bedroom door<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A gated island community<\/strong>, so you can leave the beach bag on the porch and not think twice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The boat shuttle to Mistico Beach Club<\/strong>, a short ride over turquoise water with the salt breeze in your face<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A complimentary concierge<\/strong> who books dinners, snorkel trips, and golf carts for you<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Everyday basics inside the gates<\/strong>, including restaurants, a grocery store, a pharmacy, and free WiFi<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s what Marriott brings: vetted listings, bookings that sit right in your Bonvoy account, and a support team you already know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What a Points Stay Actually Feels Like<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You wake up and pad out to your pool barefoot. The tile is already warm from the morning sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By ten you\u2019re on the boat to Mistico, coffee still in hand. By two you\u2019re back at the Pool Club, snacking on something salty and debating whether a nap counts as an activity. (It does.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">None of that came out of your vacation budget. You covered it with points you earned sitting in meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Earn and Redeem Homes and Villas by Marriott Bonvoy Points<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the part our corporate guests get most excited about.

You still come out ahead. Eligible paid stays earn Marriott Bonvoy points, so a week with us helps fund your next getaway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Think of it as a vacation that pays you back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Book a Villa with Points in 6 Easy Steps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It takes about as long as ordering lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Log in<\/strong> to your Marriott Bonvoy account so your points balance shows up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Go to<\/strong> Homes and Villas by Marriott Bonvoy and search for Ambergris Caye, Belize.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Find the Mahogany Bay listings<\/strong> and pick the villa that fits your crew.
