I booked a club level room here for 2 nights for my family of 5. We were on a 7 day trip from the UK visiting Universal Studios and this appealed due to the fast pass and food & drink inclusion. It was at the time of renovation and I was expecting the disruption to be worse than it was . Our room had no view as the window was blocked out and the temporary gym was tiny , but we popped into the one in Hard Rock instead which was amazing . We loved the pools at Portofino ..Villa pool was empty late at night for some family ball games , and we spent a fun afternoon at the Beach pool . My teenage boys loved the DJ, pool games & table tennis . Great idea to have Factor 30 SPF on tap poolside for guests . We enjoyed the lounge food : breakfast had a choice of fresh fruit /bagels and some hot food. Lunch was bags of crisps , salads ,bread cheese & ham. Dinner had some hot dishes , soup and salad. And cans of drinks from the fridge were very welcome . We used the water taxi into the parks then popped back for lunch and went in again in the evening. The fast passes were valid for the day we checked in and the day we checked out . Given the price of food in the Universal complex , for my hungry family of 5 this proved to be a cost effective option with the bonus of it being a lovely hotel and it added an extra dimension to the holiday .

The property had advertised construction was occurring but the level of construction is quite extreme. Our room window was covered with sheeting so you couldn’t see out. I would give this resort a miss until they finish construction as it’s quite intrusive! When we complained to conciege they said “it will be nice when it’s finished”.Wish we booked the Hard Rock instead for the Money we spent!

Portonfino Bay is beautiful. The staff are friendly. We use the water taxi to transport to and from the park, which is a lifesaver after HHN. The hotel includes express passes and early entry to the parks. The pools are always wonderful. We also love hearing the tenors and eating at Tratorea de Port.

This Resort was more like a regular hotel. I would recommend not staying until construction is done. The Hard Rock Resort is a better fit if you have teens. The building seemed old and carpets were worn and old as well. However, it was a nice place to come back to after a day at other resorts and Park Days.
