sitting on my balcony right now here at Domes. Haven't had a chance to wander over to BP, but the pools are really nice here and the beach is sandy as well. I would say it all depends on how much you need your nights towards 50. I have all my points with Marriott, so I tend to always pick MR over SPG until I hit my 75 again.
Key points: free breakfast, no resort fees, no parking fees.

What a silly response which can leave a bad taste in one's mouth despite the rave reviews. What about the 'Haute Living Lounge' access? Welcome gift? Even a small bag of chocolates at check in to elites could go along way at little cost.

Award redemption, sea view with a jacuzzi a few weeks ago. Upgraded to a sea view with a private pool (instead of jacuzzi). But, the "key" was the location which was at the far end (for lack of a better term) of the resort with tons of privacy and stellar views (it was also higher up).
The resort is fabulous. I can barely find anything to complain about. Be sure to go to Plaka for dinner (very close, €5'ish taxi or walkable).
Stunning views. Stunning resort. (Picture from our suite terrace area below.)

Pretty sure they dont officially recognize status. But they do upgrade people when they can. I never requested mine. But i did reach out politely proactively to the concierge and asked if there were any gold/platinum amenities. I think this may have helped out cause but who knows.
