Mobile Hard Rock Hotel or Royal pacific?

I can't decide which of these two hotels to stay in for 1 night during our next trip. How 'rock' themed is the HRH? We're both rock music fans and think I'd really enjoy staying there if they play lots of rock music and the theming is cool, however from some videos I've watched it doesn't look that interesting?!
The Royal Pacific looks really pretty, tropical and relaxing, which is the kind of vibe I would usually go for.
It seems like a no brainer for a rock chick to choose the HRH but Im just not sure, so would love to hear your opinions on these two hotels 😊

Thank you

We prefer the Royal Pacific and it is usually cheaper than the Hard Rock.

I have only been to RPR of those two, never fancied HRH because of the music theming, although having recently stayed at HRH in London, I would be tempted to try it out next time.

That said, if there is any significant difference in price, for one night, when you are likely to be maximising park / express pass time anyway, I would go with the cheapest.

Both great - we prefer RPR though

I would agree to choose the cheapest

(slight curveball - Portofino is better than both IMO but is normally slightly more expensive and if for only 1 night it probably isn't worth paying the extra)

We are at the hard rock at the moment. When I booked this time and 2 years ago it was slightly more expensive than Portofino but we went with what we know we like. Can't say that the theming is in your face. I'm not a big music fan. It is our 3rd stay. We like the closeness to the parks and the relaxed feel to the place. I hate noisy places. If I was just going for one night I would choose the cheapest.

I’ve been looking at these 2 aswell.
Is there much difference with club rooms? Do the snacks offered vary? Didn’t know if they might theme the club lounge food to the theme of the hotel?

See I want the theming/music to be in your face, so maybe I'll be disappointed...

Stayed at both but preferred rpr. Having said that I have booked hrh for next year.
Hrh has a slide at the pool, rpr pool is slightly bigger.
I’d probably just go with whichever is cheapest.

Liked the pool at HRH better but the Breakfast at RPR was lovely but if for only one night I’d go with what others have said and book the cheapest
