So, I wonder whether those particular designations really mean anything at all, in this case? I suppose I can perhaps call the resort for illumination. Tricky stuff, indeed.

In the case of the 2 resorts you mention, there ARE no views, so just call inventory control the week before and fax them the letter with the II exchange numbers but more importantly the Marriott reservation # on the II confirmation - it is the 8 digit number starting with an 8.
Resorts that have 'views' are usually beach resorts.....Ocean view, ocean side, garden view - in hawaii, mountain view.
If you aren't sure, you can ask here or OY or go on
Hotel, resort and vacation information from Marriott.com and do a search for room rentals and see if various views come up - use dates that are off season for that resort so u have a better chance of seeing all the codes. At Aruba Surf, in the 4 digit code - it contains the letters OF, OS, OV and GV for the 4 views they sell.

January 2001 - and since we believed what they told us....we bought 2 Gold weeks instead of one Platinum...anyway, that is water under the bridge.....and a lot of fun vacations!
