I did love that the Black Rock Sheraton comped parking for elites, but that has come to an end. They didn’t charge for my parking in March (without asking) in that I had reserved under the old rules…just an example that benefits erode almost everywhere.

Let's see... I can stay at an amazing property with fantastic rooms, great restaurants, outstanding customer service, world-class pools, a stupendous spa, and on an amazing part of a wonderful tropical island. Or I can choose someplace else where I get a free breakfast.

several world class resorts in the islands all of which provide the experience you cite. Some also provide exceptional program benefits (Westin Hapuna for example) - which do you choose?

Remembering back years ago when some OP was trying to decide going to Milan or Florence on their first trip to Italy based on the strength of the executive lounge. It still strikes me as entirely the wrong question to agonize over.

True, but choosing one island over another based on the breakfast benefits seems to me like putting the cart before the horse. Wouldn’t a lot of other factors have to be an exact dead heat before getting down to the breakfast tie-breaker? And it can happen, my recent tie-breaker to pick the Kaanapali Sheraton over the Westin was the (now extinct) free parking. Then we moved over to the Grand Wailea where we wisely spent our $50 on alcohol which, trust me, doesn’t go far in the Botero Lounge.
