We are regular visitors to Orlando but this was our first stay in a Hotel as we usually opt for a villa. The Hotel is centrally located, the staff helpful and the pool and external areas are beautiful. We had a family suite which was nice, clean & large but not extravagant in any way. The boat to City Walk... More

Other hotels should take a page from this hotel...our room was ready by 1 PM. Secondly, all we encountered were friendly and helpful. Third, they were extremely kind to our four legged child.

The Portofino Bay was amazing! I stayed for three nights in a room overlooking the bay. Both the room and the bathroom were very large, I was impressed! I highly recommend checking out Sal's and Mama Dellas to eat - they were both amazing! The ferry service to City Walk is also very convenient and runs about every 10-15 min.... More

The resort was picked by our company for an annual meeting. If you are looking to save money, 'X' out of this page and look for a red roof inn. This resort is not cheap by any means. I was hoping some of our expenses would be absorbed into the high cost of the stay. To self park they charge... More
