I am currently finishing up a stay at the royal Hawaiian as an ambassador elite on a 4th night free Virtuoso rate (with free full breakfast - important distinction see below). Overall, the resort is fantastic and great service, despite occupancy being up from earlier COVID times.
Elite breakfast at this resort is now similar (see that thread for pics) to the Sheraton Waikiki experience next door. Elites have access to a separate continental
breakfast line that is clearly for elites only, where you can get coffee, assorted fruit, yoplait yogurt, and some pastries. No proteins other than a mini premade egg thing.
Luckily I was worried about the breakfast situation and booked a virtuoso rate that includes 4th night free and full breakfast. We received coupons that were good for any entree on the menu (with the top price being a ~38 short rib benedict. Note that this is limit 1 entree per person and does not include any side orders.
It doesn’t look like they will let you upgrade to the menu items. You also can’t get both the elite buffet and the virtuoso breakfast (unless you asked for the elite breakfast in lieu of points).
