Have anyone stayed in the Penthouse suite at Pearl? If so does it have two bathrooms like the Master Suite?

Yes, a small bathroom in the hall as you enter and a very large bathroom between the living room and bedroom.

We stayed in a master with plunge our first four days, a penthouse for the remainder of our stay. Master has the advantage of being ground floor walk out to all things happening and room 1 is literally within fifteen feet of the pool and three feet from the jacuzzi...the penthouse (43) has the advantage of being quieter but further away from everything going on. There is NO shade on the penthouse deck, while the plunge pool was covered with an awning. (We went in August when it's sweltering heat)..Both have two bathrooms, and come with Butlers, we saw our butler MUCH more in the MSPP than in the penthouse...views of every aspect of resort are amazing on penthouse deck, and you could entertain twenty friends up there! We sat and covertly people watched as we were first-timers:) lighting is better in penthouse bathrooms, soaking tub is also amazing in penthouse that is placed directly behind a wall of windows overlooking the plunge pool. We couldn't decide which room was our favorite:) First world problems, for sure! Hope this helps...

Good to know. Wife wants to know since we are booked in a penthouse for our next trip. We did not argue thanks to the two bathrooms. Lol. She wanted to make sure we had two bathrooms in penthouse. And as far as plunge pool on first floor you are right. There is shade but I know we can have a nice little party on the penthouse deck at night. The plunge pool first floor was exciting when we were there because we did use it one night and had a few friends over. Anyways, thanks for the feedback. I think she will love it.

Had the first floor master with plunge pool on the previous Pearl trip (2014) and just arrived at our penthouse yesterday. The second bathroom in the penthouse is a very small half bath - just toilet and sink, no tub or shower. As mentioned, the tub is outside of the main bathroom (which has an unimpressive shower), so you still have the option for simultaneous unshared bathing.

Just so you know, there is one full and one half bathroom in the PH, versus 2 full baths in the MSPP. MSPP was better for us when we're both getting ready for dinner at the same time.

A word of caution about the Master Suite w/Plunge. There are only 5 of them, 2 of them (8 and 9 I believe) are next to the Pearl restaurant and have a view of people going to/from lobby and the restaurant. One of them has 2 beds in place of 1 king. More along the lines of the Garden view rooms at RM not the 2nd most expensive room category. The plus side is the Plunge pool will always be a ground floor room with minimal steps.

We are about to book our first trip. We are leaning towards Pearl; but not 100% yet.

I am curioud about the Plunge pool. Can someone tell me more about it? Is it separate pool available just to people in these room? I (Mr.) get sunburns pretty easily and the mention of it being covered which sounds appealing.

It's essentially a hot tub recessed into the patio, holds about 6-8 people very comfortably (more if you squeeze in . The staff will adjust the water temp to your liking.

In our experience, the plunge pool has not been heated. Which may be nice in the hot summer, but not usable in the winter. The penthouse hot tub was heated to whatever temperature you wanted. Butler did a great job keeping it hot for us in November. Our pick is the penthouse. Ask for a lovers package which would allow you to upgrade from a MSPP.

Agreed, the penthouse plunge pools hold up to 14 or so people...we tested and approved that number! LOL
