Portofino is a beautiful hotel. Our deluxe double room was roomy enough for the 4 of us .. my three teenagers and myself. The beds were great, and the bathroom was luxurious. Of course, the room key passes that allowed us to skip all lines were priceless. The water shuttle was very reliable. I comtemplated staying at the Hard Rock firtst, but the reviews were not as good, and I really wanted a nice place to stay. If you have teenagers that want lots of action, maybe Hard Rock would be better. We were looking for a relaxing, trouble free vacation, and that's what we got.

We had the best time at Portofino Bay hotel. The staff was very helpful, we even had to go to the emergency room one night and the security team helped us all the way and provided at their cost our taxi to and from the hospital and even checked back with us the next day, They have very friendly staff. We are planning on coming again next year, it was shear enjoyment.

We chose the resort based on other travelers reviews, and we certainly weren't disappointed. The staff is wonderful, the food delicious and the rooms...especially the bathroom was perfect. It was a beautiful 10 minute stroll down a garden path to Universal or a convenient water shuttle. The room key gives you a fast pass at the park which is priceless! My family loved the stay.
