Now something may have changed in the meantime but I do believe it still operates as both a hotel and a timeshare. I don't know to what extent they just combine all the rooms & suites together as a combination timeshare/hotel. To the extent it is still a hotel, they are required to honor Globalist breakfast benefits.
Thanks. Did not know that. I do know that, when we stayed there some years back I got my HRC Brand Explorer check. However, we were on a timeshare package deal, so then may have explained it.

We had been expecting the HRC for mrs. brp’s account as she is our chosen Globalist and has 9 brands at present. Now I wonder if it will track that way.

Cheers.
