Forest of Arden Marriott Hotel & Country Club is branded as a Marriott Hotel and is categorized as a hotel, not as a resort — so members who are Platinum Elite or higher should should be offered Platinum Welcome Gift options (1,000 Points per Stay or U.S. $10 food and beverage credit per Stay) PLUS the lounge/breakfast benefit for Member plus one guest.
Failure to provide these benefits properly entitles the Platinum member to substantial compensation.
It's all in the Loyalty Program Terms & Conditions.
It seems some hotel GMs have used the program changes of August 18, 2018, as an opportunity to reduce costs. That's fine if the hotel previously went above and beyond what was called for. But it's not okay to offer less than what's currently called for.

The Marriott in Auburn Hills/Pontiac/Bloomfield Hills (Detroit suburbs) offered special packages that ranged from 5,000 to 10,000 bonus points or $50 dinner credit until it was fully renovated earlier this year. I racked up a lot of points on $100 weekend rates by staying there.
Within the last year I've also seen the London Marriott Maida Vale offer as much as 20,000 bonus points on rates of under £150 ($196).

And, while I know you're not happy with their breakfast offering, it certainly exceeds the minimum and is better than what is typical in a concierge lounge. I believe Kauai is managed by Marriott too.
Just not sure about Maui? Odd they would have such different offerings if they are.

Yet more proof that Marriott's confusing naming convention for elite statuses isn't working. There's no such status as "premier platinum," unless the hotel is referring to a premier/premier plus credit card holder who also has platinum status.
So they're serving, at most, a $5 breakfast ($2 for juice, $2 for coffee and $1 for a pastry). That's outrageous. What if you don't eat pastries because of health or dietary restrictions? Or can't drink coffee because you're Mormon?
The terms and conditions are plenty clear regarding the intent of the breakfast benefit: "Breakfast in restaurant per day of Stay for Member +1."
Moreover, the terms and conditions intentionally use "continental breakfast" when referring to lounge breakfast but use "breakfast in restaurant" when referring to hotels without a lounge or without an open lounge.
"Breakfast in restaurant" is more than the "light continental" offered by this hotel. And, by the way, here is the hotel restaurant's breakfast menu: http://www.hmkmaui.com/assets/hmk-breakfast-4-2018.pdf

Thanks for the menu link. Looking at this I’d say a simple solution would be to offer the actual continental breakfast or equivalent dollar amount instead of the light snack version. This is typical at several Westin’s I’ve been too and would likely result in guests buying up to the hot breakfast, etc. At least I could choose to have yogurt or a bagel or whatever else I feel like lol! I’ll be sure to voice my disappointment when staying at this property.

Agree with all your points. Rather than delighting platinum members with a real breakfast, they are adding a benefit that most will complain about. I mean even if you enjoyed the pastry of the day, who wants to have that for a week or two weeks?

Yes, I suppose the wording from the Marriott Puerto Vallarta Resort & Spa that @rustykettel posted is technically correct — but only in a completely misleading way.
If the Marriott Puerto Vallarta Resort & Spa does not offer the published Platinum Elite Welcome Gift options at check-in, as defined in the Loyalty Program Terms & Conditions, then the Platinum Elite guest is entitled to U.S. $100 "Guest Compensation" — and is still entitled to choose from the published options.
For five brands, "JW Marriott, Marriott Hotels, Delta Hotels, Autograph Collection, Renaissance Hotels," — for "RESORTS only" — in "Asia, Australia, Pacific Islands, Caribbean, Mexico, Central America, South America, Middle East, and Africa," the "Platinum Elite Welcome Gift" options are one of the following:
— "1,000 Points per Stay"
— "F&B amenity per Stay"
— "breakfast in restaurant per day of Stay for Member +1"
The Platinum Elite member decides which option, not the hotel.
It's going to cost the Marriott Puerto Vallarta Resort & Spa more if there have to pay U.S. $100 compensation regularly.

So following up here. The three options were indeed offered. The breakfast offering was "continental a la carte". I asked the FDC what that was, and she began describing a standard continental breakfast. Still not quite sure what is actually served as there wasn't an option called "continental breakfast" on the menu prior. Since it doesn't seem to include full hot entres, and definitely not the buffet, I opted for points.
Not impressed with this supposed benefit improvement so far.
The PVR Marriott has a great buffet in one restaurant and ala carte in the waterfront restaurant. Did they indicate which restaurant? I suspect they would have something continental like at the waterfront restaurant. Any idea whether you could get the full buffet for an upcharge?
The Westin PVR has a lounge ... with very limited choices and is more like a domestic US Marriott lounge .... but I've had poor luck with upgrades there. I suppose you could get the lounge and 1000 points per stay.
It's a shame properties can be so short sighted ... most consultants or business schools will tell a company that they make 80 percent of their profits from the top 20 percent of their customers and that driving business from that 20 percent is key.

Welcome Gift Points vs Breakfast If There's a Lounge
So, I'm Platinum Premier Elite in the new program.
Hotels I used to stay in, all SPG hotels (Westin, Le Meridien, Sheraton) , after the merger, I see that I get my "welcome gift" points sometimes credited or sometimes not.
In all cases, the hotels have a lounge, and I have taken breakfast there (not in the restaurant).
I saw the new chart on welcome gifts, posted here: https://members.marriott.com/wp-cont...ift_Final2.pdf
But, my question is, if I take breakfast in the lounge, as Platinum Premier Elite, do I still quality for the welcome gift points? It seems ambiguous. Any one know the correct answer?
Also, under the new system, do the welcome gift points fall into the "Elite" or the "Extra" category when posting? I guess into "Extra"? I do much prefer the former way of points posting, when each point was clarified, welcome gift, green choice, etc. It was much easier, even though I didn't have to self-audit every single thing like I do now under the new program.

(Caveat that I haven't stayed in an ex-SPG hotel with lounge since 8/18)
Horace put together a list of Platinum and PP welcome gifts and lounge benefits which are on the lounge master thread - https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/30125304-post2.html - your properties should fall into category 3. By the program rules, at a Westin, Le Meridien, or Sheraton with a lounge you should have the choice of either (1) have breakfast in the restaurant as your welcome gift, or (2) choose the points welcome gift, and do breakfast in the lounge. Did you confirm at check in that you wanted the welcome points instead of the restaurant breakfast?
Welcome points for me have posted under "extra" points (yes agreed, it's been a problem for several years on the ex-MAR side, that a lot of things get grouped into "extra" points and it's not clear what their breakdown is).

DP's on how this is implemented? I am at Renaissance Barcelona and was just told I would get standard american breakfast in the hotel restaurant. That is 24 euros. Could I usually apply this credit toward menu items? I have been in Europe for 2.5 weeks already and am sick of cold buffet items and sugary everything-else. Would love to order off the menu.
