I've never stayed there, but isn't it "Le Merigot, a Marriott Resort and Spa"? That gets them out of the lounge benefit right there.
Also, I wholeheartedly agree that I like lounges that are either open as normal on the weekend or at least accessible on the weekend for lounging and/or water and soft drinks.
