Portofino Bay vs. HRH

[Antonia]

I called to reserve HRH with entertainment book rate, but it was unavailable. I CAN get it at Portofino, however, and placed it on a 24-hour hold. For those of you who have stayed at both, what was your experience comparing the two. There are 3 in our family - 2 parents and a 17 yo son. How are the rooms at Portofino and the pools - these would be our two main concerns.

PBH is very nice. I haven't tried to pool, but it has a cool slide I'd like to try.

PBH's rooms are much bigger than HRH. The bathroom is a room to itself! If you have a family of four, you will have more room to jump around. The beds are a very comfortable.

The HRH is more convient to the parks. It's about a 5 minute walk to USF and about 10 minutes to IOA. However, you won't do wrong with the PBH, although it is more expensive.
