✨Our First Stay at Lowes Portofino Bay✨
We finally checked this off our Universal Orlando bucket list and I must say, staying at Portofino Bay was such a treat! From the peaceful harbor views to the stunning Italian-inspired vibes, this hotel is all about relaxation, beauty, and luxury. We truly felt like we were in an Italian villa, not a half a mile away from our favorite theme parks!
The bathroom and bedroom were huge! This made such a difference when traveling with our baby girl. It gave us the space we needed to comfortably provide everything for our baby girl in her home away from home! From being able to set up her pack and play and toys in the bedroom to washing her bottles in the bathroom sink, this is the perfect space for a young family!
Finally, let’s talk about those Unlimited Express Passes! Being able to cut our wait time in half or more on rides throughout Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure was a real game-changer with our baby girl! This made our park days so much smoother, allowing us to do more than we originally thought we’d be able to do with our 8 month old!
This resort truly felt like an escape. And, you know what made this even better? The fact that it was only a 10 minute walk from our happy place! Between the luxurious resort, the convenient water taxi access, early park admission, and the unlimited express passes, our stay at Lowes Portofino Bay was truly magical!
