This hotel is definitely not your ordinary Universal/Disney place. The people who stay here are not the common families that visit Orlando.

After hearing how "luxurious"... more

We returned a couple of weeks ago from the Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal Studios Florida. In general, we had a good time however there are a few warnings worth posting. We booked a portofino club deluxe room with a bay view. We stupidly thought that Club was the same as club class!! Big Mistake. Childrens club was more accurate.... more
