☀️Today I want to share why 𝙇𝙤𝙚𝙬'𝙨 𝙋𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙤𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙤 𝘽𝙖𝙮 𝙍𝙚𝙨𝙤𝙧𝙩 is one of my absolute favorites at Universal Orlando.
Imagine this: you're strolling along cobblestone streets, taking in the scent of Italian cypress trees, with waterfront views so authentic that you’d swear you were actually in Portofino, Italy. It’s that beautiful and immersive.

One of the best perks? 𝙐𝙣𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙖𝙡 𝙀𝙭𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙐𝙣𝙡𝙞𝙢𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙙 access is included with your stay! This means no waiting in long lines for some of the best rides at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure – it’s a game-changer and really makes the day extra special.

And let’s talk about the convenience! 🚤 You can hop on a water taxi right from the resort to get to the parks in style – it’s such a relaxing way to travel and saves so much time. Plus, there’s an on-location Starbucks so you can grab your coffee before heading out for the day. ☕️ Perfect for those early park mornings!

At Portofino Bay, relaxation during your vacation is not to be forgotten! After a day of fun, you can treat yourself at the resort’s 𝙈𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙖𝙧𝙖 𝙎𝙥𝙖, or relax by one of the resorts THREE pools! I especially love the family friendly Beach Pool - with its sandy shoreline, Roman aqueduct waterslide, poolside games, music, and poolside food and bar service - the family could spend an entire day here! (Plus, what parent doesn’t love the complementary sunscreen, water diapers, and snacks for the kids!)

🎢If you’re looking for that mix of European charm with all the Universal thrills, Portofino Bay is your spot. Shoot me a message if you want to chat about planning a stay – I’d love to help you experience this slice of Italian paradise! 🛶🍃
