Thanks in advance.
A Diamond challenge might be the best option to get access to the Regency Club and 4 suite upgrade certs. Residing in the greater DC area gives you easy access to a lot of cheap properties over the weekends.
Aside from this option, I would consider a booking right away to lock in the property ( either with points or cash ) and to see the NOR1 options ( the suites are normally offered )
The property also offered RC access for $ 100 per room in the past ( not worth it, IMO )
Normally, the entry level suites do not have RC access included in the US, but giving the property a call should give you a clear answer how it is handled these days.
To be honest, Coconut Point can get pretty busy. The time share property down the street and the Hyatt Place down the road to the Hyatt might be good options ( less expensive, less crowded, but you still have access to the Hyatt Regency grounds )
