Eggs 'n Things. Highly overrated. It became a 'thing' with the mostly Japanese tourists. There are far, far better places for breakfast.

Also, I figured out why I confused the breakfast at Shor as being a perk. I may have written notes for Paris-Vendome in a page for this property. Woops.
Just completed a 8 night stay here. Was in 2461, Ocean Front, RC staff especially Mark and James (new guy only been there a few months) were great.

Just completed 2 nights here on pts/cert. Had to haggle to get an upgraded room (not a suite, just an Ocean Front). Wound up on the 10th floor of the Ewa tower. Not the best, but better than a City View.
Resort fee and valet parking free as Globalist. Breakfast in the lounge is decent, but not as great as some of the previous reviews I had seen. Nice big thing of salmon out each morning, pastries, cold cuts, HB eggs, Chobani yogurt. Was out each evening, so didn't get to experience the evening spread.
Staff in the evening for drinks were great though, especially the guy manning the "bar". Hotel managed to provide the first concrete example I have seen since WoH began of a hotel still trying to go above and beyond the rules for Globalists. Alcoholic drinks are complimentary in the lounge! Everyone else has to pay. Quite nice to grab a drink and sit out by the fire pits on the deck in the evening

Looking at the old list and the new list of what is included, here are the tangible differences:
- Premium wifi included now
- Two bottles of water replaced with reusable water bottle and water stations
- Children 5 & under eat for free from Childrens menu with paying adult
- Local and 800 number calls unlimited free (instead of 60 minutes) - long distance and intl is still 60 minutes free

And where can I borrow children 5 and under to use the "free" meal benefit?
Glad I didn't stay at that property in January. Doubt I will ever be back.

Select Hyatt hotels and resorts may (at the hotel’s or resort’s discretion) provide guests with a reusable water bottle and access to filtered water filling stations. Guests at such hotels and resorts may receive the complimentary bottled water available pursuant to this benefit by asking a front-desk Colleague at the applicable hotel or resort.
