Very friendly staff, clean facilities and close to amusement parks

Location is close to Universal . Love the ambience, wonderful staff and very comfortable bed and pillows. Very pet friendly.

We love Portifino and stay there every time we visit Universal.

The breakfast, or lunch or dinner was very decent. It would have been more helpful if the check in staff told us about it. We had to discover it on our own.

Cleanliness, friendly service! Impeccable landscaping, tasteful decor and Italian music! Will go again! Bev from club house staff was remarkable!! Ty from front desk was great! Overall positive experience!!

The scenery is awesome. I loved the view from our room on the harbor.

Everything was awesome! The hotel designed like an old Italian city which was beautiful! There’s even a like in the center of the complex which adds an extra italian touch. The room was space and clean. The staff were super professional and helpful. There are boat shuttles to and from Universal’s theme parks which were super convenient. You get an express pass for the theme parks as the hotel guest both for the check in and check out days (and everything in between) which was awesome!

The entire staff was very friendly. The service was great too. We don't have any complaints.

Private feel. Not too crowded. The valet service was perfect.

The atmosphere, the beds are awesome! The grounds are just beautiful!
