Therefore this makes it unable for me to book one of these normal king rooms and then upgrade to a suite.

I don't want to book the deluxe rooms because I'll upgrade to a suite anyway and thus it's pointless because these are a lot more expensive, especially at the PH.

Is there a way to go around this? Will I be able to change the reservation to three persons after I make it and have the suite confirmation, obviously paying extra for whatever the third person charge is.
I just dealt w/this issue for another property. Book a room for two people, then call and get the suite upgrade. When the agent confirms availability, ask that the # of guests be changed to 3. Of course if there isn't suite availability, you'll need to go ahead and reserve a room that will accommodate 3 people.
