The 3000 points are for club access, there is no special location for Grand Club rooms - BUT, there is a good chance they will assign you a room closest to the club, and all of those have ocean views.
2. How do we use points to upgrade to a suite here? E.g. $XXX + 6,000 points per night for a suite? Which room class do we have to book for this upgrade? Also does having a suite mean you automatically get club access? I was never sure about this. To us club access is a must. I would hate to pay for an Ocean Suite and not actually get club access.
You have to pay for at least a partial ocean view room and then are able to use points for a suite.
3. Any cheap strategies for getting an Ocean Suite?
During slow times I've seen ocean suites for around $600 or $700 a night. You can see if they're available by checking under the standard rates tab.
But, if you're going during a busy time, such as spring break or Easter, it's not likely they'll offer lower priced suites.
