Great!!!

thank you for sharing!

Thank you both for all of your wonderful advice about Universal, Islands of Adventure and the resorts. I can't tell you how helpful everything I learned contributed to a fantastic trip!

 

[macraven]

the way you displayed club and its offerings, was very eye catching.
i'm sure more will stop by and take a look.

First, thank you so much for taking the time to take and post these pictures. You really did a great job! Second, curse you for making Club Level so enticing. I must resist spending more money. I must. Arrg! I can't resist!

Thanks Nate!! You must be a mind reader!! I was just going to post asking about PBH Club Level !! We are staying there in Aug for 4 nights. The family doesn't know its a surprize Last year we stayed at the HRH. Could you answer a few ??

How close are the rooms to the lounge?? Are they all on the same floor??? Was the food tasty?? Plentiful?? Did they keep replacing items?? DId you sample any alcoholic beverages?? Was the wine good?? Do you have any recommendations reference room requests??? A huge TIA..

We were about a hallway and a half from the lounge. Maybe a minute walk. It was convenient to stop at the lounge on our way out through the lobby or back to our room. We were definitely not "wear your pjs" close to the lounge.

My understanding is that the CL rooms are in the Villa Wing. BUT, since there isn't an actual "floor" dedicated to the CL rooms, you could conceivably be assigned to a room in another part of the resort. Possible, but not likely.

I had requested a balcony room, with the understanding that there are not many in the resort. At checkin when I asked, they told me there were only two balcony rooms and both were occupied.

Food was excellent and plentiful. We didn't visit a lot during the evening appetizers but as far as I can tell, things were replenished.

Didn't try the wine. I'm not a wine drinker, I had one beer, an Italian one. It was good. I didn't pay as close attention as I should have to the brands of beer and wine offered.

The trip report I'm working on will have detailed info about the resort, and room pictures, in tomorrow's post.

It's a shame that the lounge doesn't open until 7 for breakfast, since this is the time you can (and should) visit WWoHP. If you are there the day before, you can ask for boxes of cereal, or granola bars or a couple of bananas to eat the next morning.

Sorry, there was someone pouring the wine and serving the beer while we were there. I just waited until he was out back to take the picture.

Thank you so much for this information!

I have a question (and it might be a silly one).

For the evening offerings, do they only serve pasta/Italian dishes or did they serve non italian entrees as well?

Thanks!

Thanks!!! I was wondering when they opened in the morning. Your right, we'll be out the door by then.

Anyone know if there are coffee makers in the room and if not, where can I get an early morning cup?

You are most welcome! A lot of people (including me) were looking for club level pictures before my trip, so I'm glad I could help with a few photos.

I don't know the answer to this. The only night we were there, they had the two pasta dishes I showed, and the Caesar salad, crudites and cheese tray.

Italian themed.

Dee, as always, a wonderful job!

I'm pretty sure we are going to do Universal next year. I was pretty set on HRH but now you've made me think Portofino looks pretty good too!
