Which Universal club

I’m looking to pull the trigger on one night at universal in June. Now, we’ve decided after staying at club level in Royal Pacific before, we’ll do club again. But I need help deciding which. Price isn’t a deciding factor as we’re going to use tesco Clubcard vouchers so it’s basically a freeby. I know that HRH is getting a refurb and I’m not sure if the lounge that’s currently in use is the normal one. Looking up Portofino, it appears that the club rooms might not be near the lounge, but I’ve no idea how far away they might be. Can anyone who’s done all three give me their opinion on what they would go for and why? Cheers.

Portofino. You can ask for a room near the lounge, we were literally a 2 minute walk away.

(We have only done club at Portofino but all the research I have done says it has the best breakfast options with more cooked items than the other 2. Plus it has Peroni. We were very impressed with the breakfast and the evening options were good)

Only downside is the greater distance from the parks if you are wanting to nip back but just get the ferry.

Didn’t know about the peroni. That could be the game changer.

Just to say Hard Rock Club is back in its original location on the 7th floor along with the other club rooms and suites.

We have enjoyed club at HRH this week but haven’t tried Portofino or Royal Pacific to be able to compare.

A nice decision to make!

Can you use the club room before the 1600 check in time?

Yes. Done this before, we could use it as soon as we checked in in the morning.

We arrived at 7am when we went to RPR in 2018. Went straight to the club lounge for breakfast and then to the parks. Left our bags with bell services for the day.

You can check in at any time and once you have you can access the parks as soon as they open.
