After one stay there several years ago I was convinced I needed to buy down the street at Marriott's Ocean Pointe. I didn't even think the employees were friendly (or at least appear happy).

Agreed. It's hard to compare many timeshares to the quality of Marriott, staff attitudes included. Then on top of this Ocean Pointe has a lower annual fee for a 2BR with more sq ft vs two 1BR units at this place. The purchase price resale though isn't remotely close. I was offered a 1BR for fixed week 12 for free while I've never been willing to buy a Platinum season at Ocean Pointe due to the high price and reservation difficulty.
