Rates move. The figure above is the cheapest night we found on marriott.com, reading at least one night a week across the window on 4 Oct 2026. The conditions and taxes are under the rate. Points are the cheapest award night in the next 6 months on the program's own site. Cents per point is worked out on the room rate before tax, because an award stay still pays taxes and fees. Points were read on the same sample of nights. The cheapest award night, 158,000 points on 3 Nov 2026, is a Reef side Garden villa that costs XPF 187,180 before tax in cash that night. The airport boat transfer is extra either way: XPF 17,200 a person round trip.
