Looking at the Aruba Marriott
Resort & Stellaris Casino, I see the following interesting rate detail under "Marriott Rewards Member Exclusive Offer, includes deposit required, see Rate details":
Today is August 26, so I'm not sure I'd rely on a promotion that must be "booked by June 30"... Also,
the nightly rate I'm quoted is about $290, so I'm not sure what that $1k "first night" room charge is...
Resort fee of $700ish?

I knew resort fees were getting ridiculous, but I didn't know they were getting
that ridiculous.
