We stayed for 3 nights as a family in January. We had originally booked a kids suite but at check in changed our minds and got two adjoining twin share - no problems and they even honoured the earlier rate for the kids suite. The designers of the hotel had really made an effort to give you a little piece... More

My family of 4 stayed at this hotel for a couple of days during the Xmas 2011 break, and we had a wonderful time. We are veterans at staying at Disney deluxe hotels, and this was our first trip to Universal. Some interesting notes: - Price: we found the price reasonable compared to Disney deluxe hotels especially during Xmas week,... More

At first glance the hotel looks impressive. The large lobby appeared to be elegant but in fact the carpeting was frayed and dirty. The fabric on the chairs was torn and worn out.. The exterior presented a dramatic appearance but at a closer look exhibits much deferred maintenance. The furniture in the guest room also exhibited wear. The pool area... More

This is an expensive hotel, but is actually a pretty good deal if you have a family visiting Universal or Islands of Adventure. Your room key is also a "front of the line pass" at nearly every attraction in both theme parks. It's a fantastic time saver. There is no better way to enjoy the parks without the long lines....

My family traveled to Orlando for my spouse's birthday weekend, and we ventured to Universal Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios over the long weekend. The best part of the trip for me was the hotel. It truly was glorious! The atmospheric quality of the hotel's exterior -- tastefully colored stucco buildings surrounding a "bay" -- all constructed to look... More

We arrived at Portofino Bay after spending 5 nights at Disneys Beach Club Villas. Our stay at Portofino was 4 days and 3 nights. We are a family of seven with 5 children-young adults ranging from 11- 23 years old. We took two connecting rooms on the Club Level. The rooms were very spacious with 2 queens in each room... More

I want to caveat this review with the fact that I am traveling for business and that I am the primary stakeholder of a large Customer Conference. Having said that, the Loews Portofino is a fabulous hotel in which to entertain our customers and clients. Our accommodations are superb as reported by many of our customers, both from a cleanliness... More
