Problem is, even if you get 2 rooms on points, breakfast is usually not included...and hotel breakfast for 4 can easily be $100+.
I understand the convenience of breakfast at a resort. Even then many times at the resort areas where we've stayed, one can find a "local" breakfast spot that is much cheaper than the resort/hotels & serves higher quality fare.

If staying at non-resort areas, you can easily do much better than $100 for breakfast for 4 people if you seek out non-hotel/resort options.

Hotel breakfast is usually a highly over-rated item/perk IMO.
