PORTOFINO BAY HOTEL INFO...FAQ`s and more.......

[beebeeryan]

I took pictures of the room service menu because that is something I was never able to find before the trip. We didn't end up ordering anything, but good to know.

If you stay club level yes.

More pictures from around the resort...

Mods feel free to use them on the information on this thread if you wish. I can send them another way if you need me to, just let me know.

Thanks for the pictures of the pool hours! I was wondering if we'd be able to get in a quick swim before our flight home.

That was the villa pool, which is lovely. The main pool may be a little later.

Does anyone know if you can have housekeeping empty out the mini-bar/fridge so you can use it for your own stuff? I'm thinking a pint of 1/2 and 1/2, maybe some cheese, a few hard boiled eggs, something like that.
I know some minibars charge you if you so much as move an item in them. I'm just wondering what the policy is at PBR.

I don't think they will. They do have mini fridges you can rent for I believe $15.00 per night if you need an empty one. If you do touch anything in the mini bar, you will get charged. Maybe bring a small cooler bag with ice? We used the ice bucket to keep a few drinks cold.

Best you do not use the mini bar fridge
If anything is moved around when they do the count and check for items listed for what they stock there, they might accidentally charge you

The person that does the check will not empty items out of the mini bar for you

The mini bar only keeps items cool

Easier to rent a fridge from them


Buy a $4 styrofoam cooler from
Walgreens that is walking distance from pbh and fill it with ice to hold your perishables

Place the chest in the tub with a note
Do not move

Glad I had read these threads before I went so we knew to take our collapsible cooler. Chatting with the TM at checkout, she indicated that mini-fridges may be coming in the future (but don't hold your breath waiting!)

We really enjoyed our stay at PBH. DH commented that it was a bit of a hike to the pools from our room in the East area, but the boat transportation was great (had to take the shuttle one night to RPR for dinner because of the bad weather. There was a lot of confusion at the Citiwalk shuttle stop because it was one stop for all the resorts except CBBR, and the buses pulling up for SF and RPR were CBBR labeled buses.

Well when rpr did their Reno last year, mini fridge was added to all rooms

Hope pbh has them installed soon

 

[schumigirl]

I think they will be.

This is a sticky

You do not have to post the word "bump" for the thread to stay on the upper first page

Stickies always stay on the upper first page of the forum
It is set up that way so everyone can find info on the darkside hotels

I see you have a question about pbh club
Since there have been no replies, why don't you create a new question in the forum as not everyone reads the stickies

I'll bump your thread that question thread you make so it stays on the first page
