so flight leaving MLE at 6.50pm? You should be able to get on a seaplane at 3 or 4 and make your flight. Not sure what the concern is with spending a nite in MLE

As your flight is early evening, there is zero risk (baring a cyclone) that they will not get you to the flight during the same day.

Seeing a lot of what I guess could be called phantom award space, i.e. nights that show availability at 60k/nt on the calendar but then only actually have availability for OWVs at 386k/nt when you click in to book. I'm guessing the Marriott website just isn't designed to handle this situation given how rare it probably is. Basically, when searching for award availability don't count your proverbial eggs before they hatch.

I am seeing a similar option for my 5 night stay. This seems like a new online option. OWV for 1,870,000 points for 5 nights AND a 90 day cancellation policy. Also it looks like the 5th night free calculation is off as a single night is 386,000 points for each of the five nights.

My reservation on the web-site still states 30 days so whatever change was not system-wide across all award reservations.

Had a closer look of my reservation, the wording under "Redemption" in the main reservation page still says 30 days. But when click the link right below says "cancelation policy", a pop-up shows up and that's where the 90 days comes.
So seems Marriott reservation system has conflict with itself.
