Our New Found Respect for Orlando's Music-filled Resorts

Our trip to the Hard Rock Hotel was a delightful journey filled with nostalgic music, in a sparkling setting. The hotel is beautifully decorated with music albums, rock legend pictures, and all sorts of rock-n-roll memorabilia. You will find displays that showcase Elton John (including his spectacular outfits), Elvis Presley, and even the beloved legend Jimi Hendrix. A hugely popular feature of this resort is your easy access to City Walk, Universal Studios, and Islands of Adventure.

	The hotel is a big one, with nearly 700 rooms. They offer an astounding array of room styles, which feature more rock-n-roll recreations.
	You will find a lively atmosphere, complemented by the music, which plays just about everywhere around the hotel. This includes the pool tunes, provided by the underwater speakers.
	Kids just go crazy over the big slide.
	You will find plenty of activities to enjoy, such as: the health club, arcades, spa, ping pong, and more.
	Here is a view from the ferry boat, as you enter the Hard Rock's grounds from the river.
	We spent plenty of time in the pools during the day and the hot tubs at night.
	The pool is special, with plenty of room to swim, a big slide, and a white-sandy beach.
	The grounds around the resort are just perfect for walking and biking. We took evening strolls over to the Portofino Bay complex, which sits right next door.
	Wouldn't you know that the Hard Rock sports a merchandise store onsite, filled with classic tee shirts, music collectable's, and unique novelties.
	This Hard Rock Hotel at Universal Orlando, is one of eleven current world wide locations.
