“Have stayed at all 3 resort hotels at Universal Orlando and I would say the Portofino is the nicest. Very big and nice rooms with large bathroom areas. Beautiful hotel with 3 pools and several on site restaurants, bars, and shops. We enjoyed just walking around the hotel property. Hotel is a 5-10 minute walk to the parks, and there is also a water taxi that will take you. I would highly recommend Loews Portofino and look forward to staying again our next visit.”

“The Loews Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal Orlando is great hotel and just a water taxi away from the part entrances. The hotel is lovely and it's great that the Express passes are included in the price! We HIGHLY recommend the Express passes because they are worth it and saved us so much time during the busy summer travel season. The water taxi is very efficient and a great way to get to the park entrances. Note, if it is storming outside, the water taxis don't run. We walked the 0.7 miles back to the hotel via the garden walk (it's a beautiful walk along the river) one evening when it wouldn't stop lightening. I recommend this hotel and location!”
