This is our first visit to Universal and is a surprise trip for our kids (Ds15, dd 13). We are debating between HRH and Royal Pacific. HRH is a little over $500 more for the week and but not sure it is worth it. We love the theme of Wilderness Lodge at Disney and have stayed at Polynesian as well. We are planning Sea World, Discovery Cove, 2 days for the universal parks and one more undecided day. So we may not be at the hotel at ton. However I want to stay where the kids will enjoy the hotel the most. Please help
 
We've really liked RP, but now that my kids are older I'm interested in staying at HRH because they are more interested in music and I think they like to walk around and check the memorabilia out. But really, they both are just nice hotels. For $500, I'd stay at RP and use the money for something else.
 
I've stayed at both and enjoyed them a lot

I know, I'm no help with your question.


Take a look at both of the hotels on the UO website and our hotel stickies.
Maybe you will find something that stands out more for your family in order to make a decision.
 
I'd say the Hard Rock Hotel has two advantages over Royal Pacific:

1. Lots of rock memorabilia, and
2. A closer walk to the parks.

That's really about it. If you don't mind taking the boats to the park, #1 is really the only important one. If your kids don't care about seeing guitars, signatures, and outfits from famous rock musicians, save yourself $500.
 


And you can always visit HRH and look around, and even use their swimming pool and slide if you wish. Pool hopping is allowed at Universal.
 
Thanks guys. We are officially staying at Royal Pacific!
That would be my pic too. We stayed at HRH once and it was ok but I thought a bit cold. To be fair, we never got to enjoy the pool because we stayed there during a tropical storm and the rain was never ending. Maybe that coloured our experience.
Our April trip we booked RPH. It’s the last Universal Deluxe we haven’t stayed at. And I love tropical theming.
We stayed at Portofino our last UO trip and loved it.
