HRH/PBH/RPR Pool Comparison

[parentsoffour]

Hi all,

Have anyone been to all three on-site hotels. If so, can you compare the three pools with each other? For example, which pool is most kid friendly? Which is the best for romantic couples? Which has the best service? Do all have free towls available? etc.

Thank you,

Barney

I'd have to say the Villa Pool at PBH is the most romantic, especially if you rent a cabana. Mostly adults using this pool.
There is also a small hidden pool tat PHB hat very few people use. It's called the Hillside Pool I think. There was never anyone else there when I was (this was in August).
All of the pools have towels and attendants except the Hidden Pool which just had towels.

Have not been at HRH , but all the resort pools are kid friendly, and all have games in them starting about 1p.m for the kids and adults. As Sharon said ,the Villa Pool at PBH is proobably more romantic for couples, although when the beach pool closes at PBH the Villa pool is still open and all the kids go to it until it closes.
All have towels provided, as for service i would say they are all good, have only been at RPR and PBH and both had good service, although i much prefer RPR

I think all three are kid friendly pools. The younger kids might like the water cannons at Royal Pacific and playing on the water ship. The older kids might prefer the water slides at HRH and Portofino. My favorites are Royal Pacific and Portofino. I like Royal Pacific's atmosphere and I like the way the Portofino pool is set up.

we love the HRH pool, one of the best slides ever, underwater sound system, nice sandy area, and warm water.

Can anyone tell me whether there is a "deep end" in either the Portofino or Royal Pacific pools? Our kids are getting older and actually like to swim, and I found the Hard Rock pool was too shallow for them (although we loved the music and the atmosphere!)

Thanks very much,
