We have stayed at PBH for a long weekend every year for the past 6 years. The resort is very consistent with regard to service and cleanliness. The pools are great and the front of the line access just adds to the appeal. I highly recommend this beautiful resort. more

My family has traveled to the Orlando area MULTIPLE times and always stay at high quality resorts, usually Walt Disney resorts. This was our first time to stay in the Universal circle, and it was WONDERFUL! By far, this was the best deal we have ever had staying in Orlando. Not only was the Portofino Bay hotel beautiful, classy, and... more

Stayed here once a year for the past 3 yrs so I think I have a pretty decent perspective on the hotel. Im not a high maintenance person but I can appreciate and do notice situations where others might feel are negative. But we have always had the same positive experience year after year and I appreciate that type of... more

My family has been staying at Portofino Bay since shortly after its opening in 1999. From the start we knew we had hit on something very special. Our first trip fueled the desire for many returns.

I just returned today from the Portofino Bay, and let me say, the only thing that disappointed me was that I should have stayed longer. I found the hotel to be beautiful.

Traveled to Portofino with my husband and two boys, ages 12 and 10. Spent 5 days at the hotel - mornings at the parks and afternoons by the beautiful pools. It was a wonderful vacation. We chose to walk to the parks most days and skipped the water taxi because the walking paths were absolutely beautiful. Even knowing how much... more

The Portofino is a beautiful hotel with lots of amenities; however, the hotel is most certainly aimed towards children to a ridiculous degree. Obviously, when visiting Orlando, one expects that most visitors will be they family-type; however, when visiting Portofino, one should expect to feel as if he/she is invading the children's property. We apparently did not realize that we... more

My wife stayed at the hotel over a year ago and checked out early in the morning. as a way to show the hotel's appreciation for the early checkout she was entered to win a three night stay and won. We had some challenge in booking a reservation during a time our children could go without missing school but wasn't... more

Wonderful place to stay! Beautiful hotel, great food, wonderful staff! I really can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay. By far the best choice in Orlando and especially for a vist to the Parks. more
