Better get my room!
Jules I had massive problems with Travel Republic and booking Portofino Bay hotel for the 6th July 2014. They told me about 3 or 4 times that the room wasn't available even though it was being advertised on their website as such.

Eventually discovered that they had two hotel suppliers Our Holiday Group and Med Hotel and the cheapest hotel rooms were provided by Our Holiday Group. These were the rooms that kept coming back unavailable.

After countless calls I managed to get them to price match a more expensive room from £298 (the Med hotel room) down to £176.

Hopefully your room comes through as confirmed failing that get them to price match the more expensive rooms with Clever Hotels.com who have much cheaper rates.

HRH Hotel
Booked 5th August 2013
Date of Stay - 27th & 28th October 2014
2 nights booked direct with Universal £206 per night.

Wasn't sure if this would be the best deal but I can cancel anytime up to a week before (I think). And I might buy an annual pass and then I can ask them to modify the booking and get an APH rate nearer the time.

Great post

Don't forget that Cabana Bay Beach won't give the same FOTL passes so even though it will be cheaper, if you want to get on the rides quicker you need to book one of the other 3 hotels.

Thanks Claire.
Next year was supposed to be a 2/3 wk budget holiday but isn't turning out like that!
Cabana Bay was just a 'taster' for teen DS as we're planning on doing Universal for a week in 2015.
He likes cars and the whole 'Grease' concept is something he'd enjoy oh and def the bowling alley.
So its for him really.
Not too pushed about the rides. Just checking it all out really for the following year & if he likes it, we'll visit the other onsite hotels to see which we prefer and take it from there!

These prices are amazing! We did 2 nights at HRH at easter and paid £370.
We re looking for RPR for October 2014 and the best price I can get so far for one night is £195... should I just wait? Or will next year be higher due to the expansion?
