I went back to spg.com and looked up a couple hotels as that is all I could do in 1 day. Their web site is really slooooooooowwwwwwwww.
So I looked up Whistler Westin which is a category 4 (but all suite so more points I think but for the purpose of this exercise we will ignore that). I would say it is comparable to the Vail Marriott which is a category 6.
Cayman Westin is a Cat 5 whereas Cayman and Curacao Marriott, and Aruba Renaissance properties are all Category 6. So equating Marriott Cat 6 to Westin Cat 4 is more than fair. Below is a new chart for those who might be interested.
