Looking at Oceanview Room

Here are my options below I have narrowed it down to and am looking for input.

UR Portal using Ultimate Rewards Points or Cash
HOTEL: Marriott (Non JW) - Cancun
Ocean View, Guest room, 1 King, Balcony + Free Upgrade + Resort Credit each day $30
  • $429.30 (3x $143.10/nt)
    + $76.92 taxes/fees
    Total:
    Cash - $506.22
    or
    Ultimate Reward Points - 40,497 PTS

Marriott.com
CASH -
Ocean View, Guest room, 1 King, Balcony + Free Upgrade + Resort Credit each day $30
  • $135/nt
  • 405.00
  • Resort Fee
    75.00
  • Estimated government taxes and fees
    91.20
  • Total for stay - 571.20 USD
Marriott Rewards
Ocean View, Guest room, 1 King, Balcony (no upgrade or credit)
  • 135,000 Points + $75 resort Fee (3 x $25/day)
I would reserve in marriott and submit a LNF to get 25% off the lower rate as UR portal seems to have lower rates. Do you have status with marriott?? If yes you would get 10% off F&B and potential upgrade
