Are there any Ocean Club owners out there that could tell me where on the property the one bedroom units are located? Any possibility for an Ocean view? This is our wedding gift for my granddaughter and her husband's honeymoon and it would be so special if I could get them a water view.

Aruba Ocean Club only has Ocean View and Oceanfront view categories. Booking Oceanfront is the only way to guarantee a great view.

There are more dedicated 1 bedroom units than 2 bedroom units. I would ask for an ocean front or a high floor ocean view.

Thank you so much. Very helpful info. I will definitely ask for the ocean front, or high floor OV. Who knows, miracles do happen.
When would be the best time to ask. The confirmation is for June, 2021.

In your interval Account, there is a unit code and on the Marriott Stickies is thread that tells you what the unit is. My example I am posting is a bulk deposit (H) one bedroom stand alone (Not part of a two bedroom lock off) Oceanview. In the past, when I had an Oceanfront confirmation they honored it but that was before the DC program. Best bet is to respond to the welcome email and request a high floor.

GrayFal: My confirmation reads: OVTM (1 bedroom). Do you have any idea what this refers to or is it just put there randomly?? with room assignment done at check-in? Thank you for any help you can provide.

Here is the list of j it codes for all Marriott resorts


It is ocean view one bedroom part of a two bedroom lock off.

If you had been coded oceanfront you had a chance of getting that view.
When you get your welcome email request high floor ocean view.

The first 2 floors of the oceanfront category have an obstructed view...
