Tailored Packages

If you’re travelling as a pack, opt for the Marriott’s to up the ante. Designed for two adults and two kids, perks include lucky dips when you arrive (for the children only, apologies to the grown kids at heart), a free bottle of vino (which is the adult version of a lucky dip), as well a $50 allowance to splurge on food and drinks every day.
