Universal studios question
 

If you stay at the Hard Rock Hotel, do you have priviledges at the Portofino Bay hotel??<BR>Spa???

What do you mean by privileges? You can use any of the services, you just have to pay for them, just like the guests of the Portofino or anyone off the street for that matter.

I realize that you have to pay for services. I just wanted access to the pools.<BR><BR>Thanks So Much.

Yes, you can use the pool at Portofino if you are a guest of Hard Rock Hotel.<BR><BR>

Oh. Yes, I'm pretty sure you can, but would you want to? I have to say, the Hard Rocks pool is much nicer than Portofino's. The only exception would be if you are without kids. The Porofino has a couple of pools that are very quiet, much better for adults.

I have stayed at both HRH and PBH. The pools at Portofino are great with or without kids. There is a "Beach Pool" (perfect if you have kids) and a "Villa Pool" (better for adults). <BR><BR>The pool at HRH is great too, but I wouldn't dismiss the Portofino pools. We enjoyed Portofino very much and would absolutely stay there again!

While the pool at the HRH is very attractive and fun for kids, it is very shallow and oddly shaped. There is no way really to swim in it for adults. This was my only gripe about the hotel, which otherwise I loved.
