We are here just now. Staying club level with a lovely room overlooking the villa pool. 8 days into our 18 day stay ( a family trip travelling from Scotland) and loving very day. Our fifth stay and the construction has not disturbed our enjoyment. Love your videos, been keeping up with them for the past two months. To those who are concerned don’t be. Have to admit the change between old and new is a sight to behold. A beautiful resort.
Thanks for these updates! Going here for my honeymoon mid to late November. Do you think it will be mostly done? Or that the screens will be down by then?
Hello! What is the bay view side looking like? We'll be visiting in October on our honeymoon. I was unsure if bay view and the harbour is the same thing. Thank you so much for these updates!
Harbor is the bay it should be looking great in October. Might still be working on new Pergola in front of Mamma Della's and Trattoria de porta. You will be safe with beautiful views
We are arriving this weekend. Is the Beach Pool highly effected by construction as far as scenery and sound and theming once you are at the pool? Just hoping for a relaxing pool day but getting nervous.
Yes it is. Scaffolding is up along the building and the walkway is screened off. The villa pool has no renovation issues at this time. They are working behind the villa piazza also.
It varies but usually afternoon. It might take me 3 or 4 attempts before I feel comfortable. Always try to keep people out of shot. I end up standing around a lot.
Thank you so much for your updates! We are coming for two weeks at the beginning of September. If it weren’t for you we may have changed hotels. Portofino is our favorite and we can live with some screens. Have they said when they might be done around the beach pool?
I have not talked to anyone on dates. I will try to ask on the next update. It seems like they are moving quickly on that area. It is smaller and more sections. I would think they will be trying to finish the pool areas quicker. Enjoy your vacation and hope to see you on the parks
Thank you for all the information you are better than our travel agent we arrive in 3 weeks and they have just been in touch to see if we want to cancel our holiday because of the work going on at the resort I think they have left it a bit late as they say we my not get into another Universal resort what would your advice be.
I assume you’re from the uk and going with virgin? Next time we will try booking everything ourselves as they have been useless. We fly three weeks today, virgin emailed me in the last week or so and suggested I move. My options were hard rock, worse room same money Royal pacific, no club level and £600 refund. Shocking customer service
I had a family from the UK tell me last week that they moved to the Hard Rock. They said the club level was not as good and they did not like the rooms at Hard Rock.
They shut down work at 6 in the evening traffic from renovation minimal. Hard Rock has my favorite pool and they do a good job with the young ones for entertainment.
thanks for updates, you make them very entertaining and informative, will be back in a few weeks. so grateful 😸
Thank you so much and hope you have a great time. See you in the parks.

I can’t believe how huge that awning will be! That’s a big area. 3 weeks to go!
It will be a big area it will be a nice addition to the Harbor area.
Thank you for sharing these updates! Do you know if they are renovating the inside of the rooms as well?
They are not doing anything other than the windows

Just curious when what time of day do you typically film? The lobby is always so quiet!

Stay at Portofino. It's coming along nicely now. With all of the screens coming down in the hHarbor area it's a lot better
