Thank you. That is all good info. We will be on Island again later this month for extended period looking for tourists things to do.
Might try Shore this time. But it does look very crowded.

Policy change for RC. I consider this big.
Was advised you can nolonger take a tray with food to your room from the Club lounge. That is a pretty big change in my book.

Thank you. We are living the new WK! Just changed our late October res from Hyatt to Royal Hawaiian using SPG FRNs. Changing some between reservations to Sheraton Waikiki. I need to try some options and know what they are.

I had it yesterday, and would probably skip it. It is way overcrowded. The food selection is more extensive, but the offerings in the RC is more than sufficient.
If you do sit by the terrace, do watch out for birds that may snipe at your food.

But hey, at least it's a lot better than the Marriott to which I couldn't even find the entrance the other day and has a pool the size of a paddling pool!

I love the hotels which encourage you taking food by either providing trays or sometimes paper bags for nibbles (like Century City Hyatt^).

Agree Shores is very crowded at peak times from 7:30a-8:30a with 20 minute avg wait; but usually 5-10 min wait if dine before 7:30a and after 9a.
RC Lounge has the usual continental breakfast items + some cold cuts and fruit. But for something different, Shores offer about 50 cold + hot items, including Asian-style porridge and pickels, chow mein, custom-ordered omlet station, and bigger selection of tasty fruits & juices.

There are reasons why the R C lounge is/will be getting more busy. I hope this Resort does not ruin a good thing. That is all I can say.

What do you mean? Are they providing R/C access more freely at this particular property or are you speaking to just all Hyatts in general?

Just returned from home after a 9/2-9/5 stay at the hotel upgraded to ocean view suite with a suite upgrade. Enjoyed every minute of it. Nice property, typical Hyatt service, 4:00 p.m. checkout. Enjoyed the Regency Club. All in all, as I say from time to time on FT, ^^
