The hotel

As soon as you step through the front door of the Hard Rock Hotel®, you’ll feel like a rock ‘n’ roll icon. With little musical touches throughout the corridors and on the walls, you’ll be transported to Rockstar heaven. When it comes to the fun part there’s a huge pool, a sandy beach, and even water jets and a slide pool-side. But the music hasn’t been forgotten — dip your head under the water and hear the beat. You’re not far from the parks, and you also get exclusive benefits thrown in including skip-the-regular-line access**, and early park admission† to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ and Universal’s Volcano Bay (select attractions, valid theme park admission required).

In our recent stay at the hard Rock in Orlando I just want to say that our waitress at the Hard Rock pool was awesome. It was Stacy, I couldn't have asked for a better, kinder and wonderful waitress than Stacy. She went above and beyond my expectations in our service. I hope The Hard Rock sees this and understands what a great employee they have.… Read more

I hope The Hard Rock sees this and understands what a great employee they have. I will definitely look for Stacy when and if I get to return. Thanks again Stacy.

We are currently 2 days into a 5 day stay. As always, this resort is spot on! We can’t imagine staying anywhere else at Universal. Proximity to parks, express pass, friendly people and impeccably clean! Highly recommend some time at pool during the afternoon. DJ is fun for kids and adults.

Terrible Check in experience, arrived at my room at 8 PM and beds weren’t done, there was a pile of pillows Above the beds without pillow cases. I dialled number zero in order to reach front desk and it took more than 15 minutes for someone to answer me. Once somebody took my call, The lady which I exposed my situation put me on hold and two minutes later the concierge of another hotel answered me. I had to call back again (10 more minutes) and I was told I was going to be assigned a new room, It seemed no one could come and finish our room. It took more than 40 minutes for the bellboy to arrive with the new keys, In the meantime I couldn’t get out of my room to have some dinner because I had to wait for this guy to arrive with our new keys. Hotel couldn’t move our bags in order to let us go out to have some dinner. Seriously a resort this size with this prices and these stars only has one person who could help us move to another room? really bad well coming for a $400 usd 4 star hotel Read less

My daughter and I are here to celebrate her 15th birthday. We’re fairly frequent Orlando visitors, and we decided not to go to the parks this time. If you’re in the parks, the three Legacy Resorts are the place to be for the perks you receive, but even without them, this is where you will find me. The level of service is amazing.

My daughter and I are here to celebrate her 15th birthday. We’re fairly frequent Orlando visitors, and we decided not to go to the parks this time. If you’re in the parks, the three Legacy Resorts are the place to be for the perks you receive, but even without them, this is where you will find me. The level of service is amazing. I’d like to mention Anthony and Aubrey specifically, who have been so super attentive and fun by the pool. I don’t have to think about wanting something before they appear to take care of it for me. And they are great people, too! I’ve enjoyed getting to talk with them briefly through the day. They are an asset to this resort and will do great things! The pool vibe with the DJ makes it feel like a Pool party with all your friends. I’ve also met some great guests. At this point in history, it’s nice to get to know other people. I highly recommend spending some vacation time at Universal Orlando and the Hard Rock specifically! Read less
