I accept this as I was told this in Aruba too. HOWEVER this is true at ALL chains SPG/ Hilton included and somehow they offer the benefits at resorts that Marriott doesn't.
I preach it often. Marriott should not be your chain of choice if you stay mainly in Florida/Caribbean. Way too many Resorts with no benefits. Way Too many "hotels" called "resorts" too.
