I would be careful if you make a reservation for the first few weeks that the hotel is open. Both Hard Rock and Portofino had a lot of trouble in the begining when they first opened.
Also, if for some reason the hotel isn't ready yet, HRH and Portofino will most likely be sold out on most summer days, forcing them to put you at an offsite hotel.
I admit the rates are great.. but just be wary about going to a hotel the first few weeks that it is open. We've seen what has happened before.
