Portofino Hotel:

Summer Ideas A to Z

Portofino Bay Hotel

It's part of the Universal Orlando complex that includes the Universal Florida and Islands of Adventure theme parks; it's photogenic; and it's modeled on the town of Portofino in Italy.

Top features for families at the Portofino hotel include:

• water-taxis that take guests from the harbor to the theme parks
• Front Of the Line access to popular rides-- this itself is a major reason to stay at a Universal resort.
• large Beach Pool, with waterslide and sandy shore
• visitors' privileges at two sister resorts, the Hard Rock Hotel, and the Royal Pacific Resort
