Reviewer's Comments:
Wow, what a hotel this is. We are season pass holders to Universal and recieved a great discount at Portofino Bay so we decided to stay there during our 1st anniversary trip. This is an amazing hotel. It's location is well worth the price we payed, but when you drive up to the hotel if feels like you are literally arriving in Portofino, Italy. It is a beautiful resort, three pools including a beach pool with a real sand bottom.
Our room was just a standard room, we are certainly not millionaires. However, the room is that much, its very clean, very large, larger then any hotel room I have ever seen. The foyee (yes it had a foyee) and bathoom were both tiled in terra cotta tiles, the bathroom was massive. I have seen full hotel rooms about the size of the bathroom we had. The room came equiped with a minibar fridge and sterio system and bed to die for.
I would recommend anyone coming to Orlando try to stay at this magnificant hotel, its certainly worth the money (we payed $149 a night).
