I would recommend the Hard Rock - specially club level...
Probably my fave hotel in the world |

Quick question regarding club level at Hard Rock:
Is there an empty fridge in the room for putting drinks, etc from the lounge/shops or is it just the usual mini bar where you pay if you move anything? Thanks. |

Is it the same for portofino? Both for club and non club? Looking at club rooms but I’m not sure it’ll be worth it for us sadly as we are fine with cheap breakfasts and have a few restaurants planned offsite.
Upgrading to portofino from endless summer will already have been a big jump! Edited at 02:45 PM. |

RPR is gorgeous, staff lovely, pool good, short walk to parks , dining very good, bus to Volcano Bay, stayed there twice and going next year, express pass worth it, would definitely recommend.

Ok so I had a look on our employee website today, I get a pretty good discount on both RPR and Portofino, portofino still works out as about £200 more. I’m just weighing whether £200 is worth it for aesthetics I like more, after all express pass is the biggest draw. But I still have to say, I really dislike those decals on the walls of the bedrooms in RPR which is what is really swaying me to portofino. I love the look of the rest of RPR though.
(Also it’s the only universal hotel I was really interested in but was way too expensive last visit, makes me want to just say you only live once and book it!) Thanks for everyone’s help! I have some time to consider now. Anymore advice is appreciated though!

Is the extra £200 for a week? If so, it is not a bad price for the extra quality of Portofino.
But I would not let what is on the wall feature too much in my hotel decision making process. I don’t even recall what was on the wall at RPR, certainly nothing that made us pass comment. We thought the room was nice and certainly as good as any other onsite deluxe hotel we have stayed in. I still think I would pick RPR / HRH for the better location. Not that Portofino is a bad location. |

Portofino is undergoing a refurb, tbh I never liked the big flowers on RPR’s bedroom wall and preferred PB, but having seen a video of a new room at PB ... let’s just as I’m preferring the RPR rooms.
New PB rooms appears harsher than before, more masculine and the carpet reminds me of something my cats used to do on the carpet. Such a shame but I still love PB. |
