Wow. Lucky you to spend two weeks there. Nice place to relax.
Spent a week there in May of 2007.
I can't recall if anyone mentioned upon check-in if we were upgraded. I do distinctly remember them asking to choose a welcome gift, and ended up in a higher-floor oceanview room.
KathyP is right. There's nothing particularly cheap on the property and several of the restaurants on-site have dress codes. There's a little bar/shack down the street on the beach that has typical pub food. I can't remember the name. You exit the hotel, head back towards the roundabout and go through it towards the beach. You'll dead end into it.
There's no extra charge for the gym, IIRC. I didn't use it but it looked pretty well stocked with new equipment for a hotel.
There's no dive shop on the property itself, at least not when I was there. The hotel works with Dive St Kitts, among others. I used DSK on that trip to get my open water certification. They're a pretty good operation IMHO. They came and picked me up and dropped me off each day.
Hope this helps.
