not to be pedantic about an excellent and very helpful report and review. Thank you very much since we have a 7 night certificate attached to stay there.

but Marriotts I don’t believe has ever had ownership of the property. It has the same owners as the neighboring resort and when it not many years ago rebranded as a Westin part of that plan was selling off part of the property as timeshare. Thus something Many Starwood franchise properties have done. The best example of this is the St Regis New York, the origin of the brand, within the decade half the hotel rooms, floors 8 through 11, were sold as timeshares. Other than Ritz-Carlton were a number of their hotels are built as dual hotel timeshares originally, this has not been Marriotts normal practice.
