Yes.
500 points or a $10 food/beverage credit. It's officially guaranteed.
Maybe.
But the key sentence is: "Based on room availability at check-in and limited to a Member's personal guestroom, we’ll do our best to upgrade your room." You booked a "Luxury 1 BR Suite," so maybe you can get one with a very nice view. Be sure to ask about an upgrade.
Remember you also get "Free Internet Access - Premium Tiered Service."

Considering everyone gets Internet via the Resort Fee it really isn't a perk. I rarely stay at Marriotts in Florida or the Caribbean anymore due to the lack of benefits for Platinums. Without a doubt there are Better options than Marriott in Florida/Caribbean. I think Florida has like 33 Marriott Resorts. None that I am aware of give you much. I think the Marriott at Seaworld gives an extra 1000 pts and Grande Lakes JW gives you free parking.
