A fine theme hotel
Portofino is a fine example of a theme hotel designed to let people experience the magic of italy. Why we choose to do this on a trip to America is a puzzel but hey thats holidays for you.
The roomsare big and clean and the staff helpful always greating you with Italian phrases etc adds to the experience .
The water taxis are fun and easy to use running every 15 min however they could do with a little better organisation .
The restaurants are nice and well priced but they did seem to close a little too early , however with the Universal city walk a short ride on the water taxi away its nice to sample the many fine restaurants around .
Out and about its got the obvious theme parks attached but also very close to several shopping malls .
We booked for the last two nights of our holiday and used it as a stop over before catching the plane from Sanford airport which is about 30 min away.
The hotel is great for this however I would not hesitate to book a full holiday in the Portofino and look forward to my next trip.
