Does Globalist status mean anything to Hyatt properties?

No status doesn't matter at Hyatt timeshares usually. We did book with points once where we own at Pinon Point and our concierge put in a request for an upgrade. They upgraded us from a studio to a 1 bedroom at check in. That was not typical though
 
Yes and no. If you are an owner using your timeshare, or using the points from your timeshare to make a booking, Hyatt Hotel status means nothing. If you are booking an HVC property through Hyatt hotels (Ie, Hyatt.com), then in some cases, yes. For example, I stayed at Highlands Inn as booked through Hyatt Hotels (it was one additional day added on to our one owned week, but the stay showed to Hyatt as one night at this property). The front desk said that we could just stay in our unit for the additional night (as opposed to moving to the hotel side, technically an upgrade to a basic room), and in the morning we had breakfast for four (two adults, two kiddos) at the fancy on-site restaurant (bill of apx $120). The breakfast was removed from our bill.

Last year we arrived ridiculously early (planned on traffic and it was utterly smooth sailing the entire way). Arrived on a Sunday and there were a bunch of great games that week. They turned on the massive TV in the restaurant and let us watch football until our rooms were ready. We had come directly from a Whole Foods and had an entire case of Pliny the Elder, and some nibbles. That was a good day.

I'd like to eat at that restaurant but my wife always nixes the idea. "Please just go to the Monterey fish market. That's what I want." Sometimes we go to the fish market twice a day. I've broiled oysters Rockefeller in the coals of the fireplace. That's also a good day.

If there's a point to any of this, how was breakfast? I'd still like to eat there because the dining room is the best I've ever seen, anywhere. (I just removed the word "among" from "best I've seen." If there's a more choice dining room on the planet, show me.) If they make a decent hollandaise, I might be able to sell the idea to my wife.

The coffee is good. The food is better than average. To me, it is over priced… however, I suppose when you factor in the view, the service, the location, etc… it’s still over priced, but I can accept it.

My go to is the crab Benedict. It’s not a crab cake, but lump crab (The site is not allowing me to upload a photo).

No worries. As long as the sauce doesn't come out of a bag, a Benedict is usually worth the price. Hollandaise is one of those things that only makes sense in quantity. It's easier to make it by the gallon. A pint is almost not worth the effort. And what are two people going to do with an entire pint of butter sauce which has the shelf-life of a mayfly?

I'll have a look inside the kitchen this time around.
