Nice, but Expensive

The main pool closes early. There should be a hot tub open past 8 pm. Kind of cheesy to charge for high speed internet in this day and age. It is free everywhere else.

This hotel is exceptional and not to be missed. The rooms and bathrooms are spacious and beautiful. The restaurants are amazing and the location is wonderful. The spa and the pools offer something for everyone at any age. We love the option of the boat or walking the beautiful path to the parks. City Walk is just awesome. We will return again and again to the Portofino -- it is simply the Perfect Escape!
