I sent an email to Ashley to answer your question and here is her response:

"The suites I have left are a one bedroom lanai which is on the first floor by the pool, it is at $400 plus tax per night. I also have one or two bedroom tower suites, which are on the higher floors facing the golf course those are at $450 for the one bedroom and $550 for the two bedroom. Also, we do charge one nights deposit for the suites."

So Myke, if you book a suite, I want the first drink you pour as my research fee.

Thanks, JenTiki! We were thinking about hosting in a suite this year, but maybe we will wait for the suite for next year. The first drink will still be on me, JT! Thanks for checking..

here is the post I sent to my email list. it contains some valuable hotel booking info so read the whole thing.
Tiki Oasis 8
Take a Voodoo Vacation on zombie Island*
is the theme for this year's Oasis weekender
thursday August 14 - sunday August 17
San Diego
As usual we are offering the top entertainment in the Tiki-Exotica-Lounge world
Voodoo night (aka Friday night) special appearance by none other than legendary "Voodoo" creator Robert Drasnin
http://www.myspace.com/drasnin
On Zombie Night (Saturday) right after the best dressed Zombie & Ghouls contest we will have a rare appearance of The Ghastly Ones
http://www.ghastlyones.com/
Of course we will also be offering a full house of high quality vendors and Exotica experts presenting educational symposiums. (Tickets for the symposiums are not available at this time. We will post then and announce them via this email list when they are ready).
Check the website for details. Site will be updated as additional information becomes available
The Tiki Oasis 8 site is a Flash website so may have to updated your Flash Player software
you can upgrade here:
http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/about/
Please keep in mind that all attendees, whether you are booked into the hotel or not, must have a ticket to attend Friday and Saturday nights events.
Hotel booking improvements
The standard room rate of $165/night is discounted over last year which was already a discount over regular summertime rates for the Crowne Plaza (and San Diego in general). Also, the hotel booking policy has been altered significantly to benefit you - the guest. The hotel does NOT charge your credit card upon booking, so book your room immediately. Like most standard hotel bookings, your credit card will only be charged after your stay (there will be a hold on the reservation amount upon check in). Even the cancellation fee period has been reduced to a two-week grace period:
Cancellations received after August 1, 2008 will be charged a cancellation fee of $330.00
The preferred method of booking is online but if all else fails you may call the hotel directly at 619-297-1101 or 800-882-0858 ask for in house group reservations, or Ashley.
(DO NOT call the general Crowne Plaza number listed on their website 800-496-7621)
The hotel has 8 suites - If you wish to book a suite please contact Ashley directly
Two (2) Night Minimum Stay required for rooms occupied on Friday & Saturday nights.
If you wish to book a specific room number you can make that request when you book online and it will be granted AS POSSIBLE but the only way to really secure that room is to book early and arrive early. If you are only staying Friday and Saturday then the earlier in the day on Friday that you arrive for check-in the more likely the chance you will be able to secure the room number you request. you can arrive at 8 am and check in even though you will not be able to get into the room until official check-in time of 4:00 pm. For guests arriving earlier than the check-in time or staying later than the check-out time, luggage storage will be offered. Check-out time is 12:00 pm.
Tiki Oasis is also seeking volunteers to help manage events. If you wish to volunteer please email me at: otto@tikinews.com
Hope to see you this summer!

Hi there,
So my 2 friends and I are attending Tiki Oasis this year for the first time, and we have some questions in regard to the tickets. Perhaps some wise T.O. veteran or Otto can provide some insight?
The $40 ticket gets you in to the Friday and Sat night events. We can attend the vending since we will be staying at the hotel. Any symposium we wish to attend will cost extra, yes?
The $110 is the same as the $40 ticket BUT you get a mug....right?
The $150 ticket gives you carte blanche to everything.
At this point I/we aren't sure if we want to attend ALL the symposiums (as they haven't all been posted yet obviously), or just want to pick a couple, or what. I'm afraid if I just get the $40 (or 110) ticket then I will miss out on some cool stuff, but if I splurge on the $150 and then don't end up attending it all I will feel guilty.
I'm sorry if these questions will be answered in the near future and I am in a hot hurry but I just want to get my tikis in a row, ya know?
Thank you, from a Tiki Oasis virgin

This is a somewhat difficult and personal decision. I highly recommend the mug, so the $110 ticket is a no-brainer. the mug is the best keepsake from the event and it is collectable and it is cool. Did you see the pix on tikiblog.com?
As for the symposiums, that is true, you may not want to go to all of them. BUT the VIP pass entitles you to fast track line that allows you to show up at the last minute, get in a short line, and still get a good seat!!
so what is THAT worth to you?
