I have been to both Marriott's Ocean Club and Surf Club. There are pool bars at both and also beach service at both resorts. The Surf Club is right next door to the Ocean Club, they share the same beach, so yes, it's on the beach! Both are great resorts but prefer the Ocean Club, it's smaller, quieter, less people=less aggrivation getting a beach hut or pool chair. Going again soon, can't wait!

As posted above, both the OC and the SC are on the beach. The SC is larger and it is more crowded by the pool, but floating on the Lazy River at the SC is a wonderful way to spend an hour or so. The villas at the SC are a little bigger and the 1BR or larger units have in room laundry. On the flip side, as posted, the pool at the OC is less hectic and it is easier to get chairs by the pool.

There are plenty of chaises at the beach. It is easier it get a palapa closer to the water at the beach at the OC, but there are many new palapas at the SC making reserving one much easier than before, and the SC also has bimini (canopied) chaises. If you have a larger group, being able to have a few bimini chaises along with a palapa is a big plus. There are no bimini chaises on the beach at the OC.

Either resort is wonderful- it's Aruba, after all :)
Just got back and can't wait to return!!
