This sounds like Marriott won't run them as all inclusive? OTOH, IIRC there's some all inclusive in the dessert in UAE that's a LC.

It might be less confusing if Marriott were to establish several brands, or designations added to existing brands, so as to create a clear identification of which properties are all inclusive. Does anyone know of a complete list of the Bonvoy all inclusive properties?
