A look at the beautiful Loews Portofino Bay Hotel on Universal Orlando Resort along with what is included with your stay for the perfect trip.
On our recent trip to Universal Orlando Resort, we stayed at the Loews Portofino Bay Hotel which is part of the Universal Orlando Resort, and a short walk or water taxi ride to the theme parks. The hotel looks like a picturesque Italian seaside village with so much to do and explore! We loved staying at Loews Portofino Bay Hotel and will definitely stay again during our next trip.
The Rooms
Loews Portofino Bay Hotel Grounds
The hotel looks like an Italian seaside village with its tempting outdoor cafes and shops that dot the piazza around a serene harbor. There are three pools onsite including a sandy beach pool with a waterslide, a serene Villa Pool, and a quiet pool.
The hotel has many little spots to explore with small passageways along cobblestone paths, gardens, fountains, and Vespas (even if they are stationary).
We enjoyed both gelato and coffee along the beautiful harbor. There are several outdoor tables and chairs that allow you to take in the view. The hotel has several different dining options onsite with many overlooking the serene harbor. We picked up dinner from Sal’s Market Deli late one evening and it was delicious!
