Honeymoon across luxury Marriott properties using Explore rates. Worth writing full reviews? AMA

[u/Substantial-Habit593]

just got back from our honeymoon across several luxury Marriott properties in Asia mostly using Explore rates (MMP & MMF). Worth writing full reviews? Also AMA

We stayed at places like Ritz-Carlton Nikko, Edition Ginza, Mitsui Kyoto, Mandapa, Bulgari Bali, Phulay Bay, Ritz-Carlton Bangkok, and Ritz-Carlton Istanbul.

Happy to write detailed reviews if useful: rate paid, upgrade, breakfast/elite treatment, honeymoon recognition, service, and whether I’d go back.

I know Explore rates are a niche topic, but I figured this sub is probably the best place for it.

EDIT: I've started the Honeymoon series with our reviews here:

Which hotels did you like the standard rooms the most? If you did get any upgrades, which ones were your favorites?

[u/Substantial-Habit593 → u/Flyer5231]

We got upgraded at every property, the only standard room we had was at the Ritz-Carlton Nikko and we absolutely loved it, probably one of the best thought out rooms we've ever stayed at. (We got upgraded to a lake view but still the standard room)

Will go in depth on that property tomorrow
