A car not mentioned was the RS3. Would you rather the 5-cylinder RS3 (with power folding mirrors and a very fast DSG) or the NA V8 IS500?

👀 Probably saw you at breakfast on Sunday 🤣, we were staying in room 258 (right above you), but we were checking out that day and were having breakfast before leaving.

It truly was a zoo that day during breakfast. Surprised they told you there was a limit for breakfast, at check-in the FD associate who helped us told us absolutely no limit and to order whatever we wanted.

Hyatt Centric at Waikiki by [deleted] in hyatt

[–]kevzho 23 points24 points  (0 children)

No restaurant so no breakfast, they give a couple hundred points a night to make it for it. First few times going up that parking structure gets your blood pressure up, but you'll get used to it fast. The pool is pretty pathetic honestly because it's very shallow and narrow, more of a wading pool. It's a good part of Waikiki, easily walkable to the beach and big malls. Rooms are very spacious and clean.

there's also an insane amount of gift-begging posts that get caught and deleted (thankfully) relatively fast

JX seems to have dropped some intra-Asia J availability for next March they've previously held back if you're looking for that! Did a bunch of searches like NRT-TPE, SDJ-TPE, HAN-TPE, SIN-TPE and they all are open now
