Some of the Deluxe Sea View rooms are pretty good, certainly the one we had was great. Not sure on amenities vs Beach Club. It wasn't worth the Royal beach club for us as we got breakfast included on our rate and weren't around in the day to make use of the lounge facilities. From what I was told at check-in, they try to upgrade all Gold and Plat guests to Royal Beach Club should there be availability. However, usual caveats apply - if you don't mind getting a lagoon view room or a deluxe sea view, then book those and hope for an upgrade.
Enjoy your stay.
