| Tell me all about... Portofino Bay Some of you might remember that a while ago I asked about Universal's two other resorts while mentioning that the Portofino Bay wasn't an option for us. Well, things change  Turns out we were able to get a AAA discount for the Portofino Bay but not the two other resorts which meant that the price for the Portofino was lower than the regular rate at the Royal Pacific. Sooo, for us, this was a no-brainer: We went with the Portofino!  It's a little further away from the parks and the theme (if you can call it that) doesn't appeal to us as much as the others' but other than that we're thrilled! Especially since it's got a really romantic look and we're on our honeymoon  Anyways, now I can't wait to hear from those of you who have stayed at the Portofino Bay or visited it while at Universal how you liked the resort. How was the service, food, water taxi to the parks, fellow guests, anything! Thanks in advance!

| We were at HR ealrier this year and my daughter and her friend got lost coming back the hotel and ended up at PB. They said that it was very nice and were tempted to stay for a while. I never made it over there though. |

| We stayed at Portofino Bay and had a great time. The pizza from the one restaurant was sooo good (wood fired). (Not the place by the pool!) We also had breakfast in the restaurant (I don't remember the name. I think it was the Trattoria) and it was good. Don't forget the gelato!! You can pool hop to all the hotel pools, regardless of which hotel you stay at. We went to all 3 hotels' pools. My DDs preferred the quiet pool at Portofino, though because there was hardly anyone there. Here are some pictures: share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=8AaMmzJk5bNGpX Maggie

| Thanks guys,  but our plans just changed. We got a better rate for the Royal Pacific and switched. I appreciate your posts, though. We'll definitely check out the Portofino Bay while we're at Universal!
