On the property's website, management gave a blanket statement saying that since they are a resort, 4 PM late checkouts are not available.

Is this just wording/semantics? Perhaps. But, if the hotel happens to have low capacity and can offer 4 PM late checkout to Platinum guests, it should.
I did receive a 4PM checkout (with no hassles) on a recent stay. The wording on the website, however, is definitely a little misleading.
