Since I now see that you're Gold, I'll add that my experience is based on Plat status. I'm not sure what their upgrade policy is for Gold. I would expect at least an upgrade to oceanview is likely, but I don't know whether they often upgrade Golds to tower suites or the Lanai Suites. You could call and ask the hotel directly; they have a toll free number from the U.S.
I don't think that any of the one-bedroom suites have two beds, though they all have a sofabed in the living room. There are a few multi-bedroom suites, too, for a price.
