Loved the HRH after a bad night at RPR

I already posted about our poor experience at RPR so I won't repeat it here. We had 2 nights (May 4-6) at the HRH. It was wonderful. The pool was a little crowded but not too bad. The water was really warm! We also went over to the PBH's pool and their water was warm too. The water coming down the slide felt like bath water! Lovely! I really liked that we could walk right to the parks from the hotel. That is a big plus.

We ate at Margaritaville (highly recommend!). Good food and with the balloon people and the big tv screens playing music it was very entertaining. We had a reservation and were seated right away. We also ate at Latin Quarter. It was dark and my girls (12yo) were rather shocked at the scandalous dancers on their music videos. The food was just okay. I wished we had eaten at Margaritaville again or tried someplace else.

At the park we ate at Louies (okay), Confisco Grille (great the first day, very slow service the second time around). Also had a HUGE ice cream at the shop on the bottom floor of HRH. Yummy!

There were quite a few loud school groups at the parks and not many families. A lot of convention people at the hotels. A different crowd from the Disney parks. Interesting. With the FOTL pass we had no lines, although neither park really got busy until lunchtime.

Hi Marianne. I also responded to your stay at RPR, as I had a similar displeasure with the front desk staff.

Glad you liked HRH better. That does look like a fun resort, and due to some unfortunate circumstances, we even got to see the inside of one of its rooms, but more about that when my TR is done.

Welcome home.

2004 at the HRH and 2006 at the RPR. I agree the HRH was much better
