Room options for 1 parent, 5 kids

[ashkash]

I'm about to book our upcoming vacation, and I can't find much information for large families. We're looking at Portofino Bay or Hard Rock. I'd be the only parent for at least the first few days, before my husband can join us, plus our 5 kids (17 & younger). Can I book 2 regular rooms, or will we need to stay in a suite? Thanks!

I think you'd be in a bind. I don't believe you can check into 2 rooms without 2 adults.

The future rockstar suite at Hard Rock sleeps five. There is a pullout in the adult side. There is a maximum occupancy of five guests so you may need a larger suite. The two bedroom suite allows you to sleep nine and may be your best bet.

Thanks, that's what I was thinking. We'll stick with a suite this time.

I think those hotels have connecting rooms. I would call and see if you can book two connecting rooms as the one adult, but have the 17yo with another sibling in the connecting room. I would assume that's allowed.

I just booked the 2 bedroom Villa suite at the Portofino for next summer for our extended family of 8. The 2 bedroom Portofino suite works too. 2 in the king room, 4 in the 2 queen room, and 2 in the parlor.

I solved my problem by shifting the trip a few days later so my husband could join us the entire time, as well as my mom. Thank you for all the input!
