I believe all rooms would be considered ocean view, these rooms had a larger balcany which was of limited value since it still had only a small table and 2 very uncomfortable chairs. If you do upgrade, when you arrive ask for a room on the north side if possible at check in as this side overlooks the main pools. I did not, but if you do upgrade, I would ask the Club 91 people if better balcony furniture is available, especially since there will be 4 of you. The upgraded room and free breakfast alone will pay for your upgrade, and the rest will be gravy.
Thanks for the info. Since I booked thru Costco I guess I have to wait until the reservation shows in Marriott's computer (should be in there by now). I tried to upgrade directly thru Costco but they did not have any Club 91 rooms. Should I try the 1800 Marriott number or the hotel directly? One last thing did your Club 91 room have a sofabed? We have two kids with us so its either that or requesting a rollaway bed.
