Confused on Marriott properties

Are the Marriott Ocean Club and Surf Club two different properties or are they the same building. I have looked at google earth and there are some place marks that show both on the some pool.

If you zoom in with google earth or google maps there are 3 buildings together. I thought maybe all three buildings were marriotts but now I'm not sure. There is even a place mark at the more south building of the three labled surf club. Not sure if these markers are correct.

Can you point me in the right direction?

thanks

Ok, there are 3 Marriotts. The Surf club was the main building that was in a straight line, the Ocean club was the next builing that was in a u shape above the Surf club, and the Marriott Stellaris Casino is the next u shaped building above that. Just use the up arrow on the map. Hope this clears up your ?

The map shoot for Aruba appears to have been created 2-3 years ago when they were building the lazy river. Their is another L shaped building that has been completed with one side running a long the parking lot and then heading back towards the beach ending around the bend in the road The Lazy river is right behind the current pool in the middle of the dirt patch shown. With a high quality filtering and zoom, you can actually make out the path of the river and the pool basin if you know what to look for.

This aerial shows the location of the 3 resorts. In this satelitte photo, the Surf Club is no where near completed. The docks have also since been moved a bit south toward MooMba.
