oh what a beautiful property things to love and helpful tips about staying
at the portofino hotel in orlando let's dive in
actually can we start with where i'm at right now because i absolutely love the pools the pools are
such a great place to hang out especially when you are enjoying a perfect florida day
there are three options of where you can hang out and they have all kinds of drink options
and food options to keep you happy all day long
how is it yeah
what's this oh second thing to love is the restaurants that they have on site and what's
cool is that they have amazing restaurants here but you're also super super close to citywalk
where there's a lot of restaurants over there also and make sure you check out my other video about
places to check out in citywalk but we enjoyed big fire yesterday over there and this morning
we had a killer breakfast surprise meatball had the buffet and it was only 26 an amazing value for
a buffet at this style of a hotel versus other places we have stayed at but i have the steak
and eggs oh super delicious at 19 i definitely recommend this dish and of course i had a bloody
mary asking for grey goose on that and it's a 14 price point uh total steal for breakfast
which by the way yo if you're new here this is christine with wearing the world of CL to make
travel videos every week to help you get up get out and go travel so if you like to
travel consider subscribing one of the things for me is i share all the research i've done
about a place as well as all the things i learned after staying at a place on my channel and one of
the things about me is i really like to keep it real and so i'm giving you the highlights and
to be honest let's talk about some of the lowlights starting with the room
uh first impressions it's nice i think i was just expecting a little bit more
i am not happy about two beds
super duper awesome is the view so if you get a
room make sure you ask for a bay view because it's so good
but i will admit this place is not an amazing resort to be able to go hang out and stay in
your room that's not what it's about which is why the rooms are just okay it's pretty messy
this morning so if you want a full room tour i'll leave it till the end of this video so make sure
you check that out but let's talk about something else to love about this resort oh you know it's
one of the most key benefits of staying at this property is that you get the benefit of the
express pass if you're going to the universal theme parks and so that's a really huge value
because skipping the line so that you can actually spend your time just enjoying yourself is so
important you're getting some value out of this video cheers that like button consider subscribing
and tell me in the comments below if you're headed to orlando or other properties you're
considering because i'm sometimes in the area and i'm always looking for suggestions all right let's
jump to the next one oh the service it's one of my favorite things about this spot even though it's a
four-star and not a five-star hotel they try very very hard to offer five-star service and they were
so kind i'm at the adult pool right now and they came and brought over towels for me even though
they didn't have to and across the board we've been getting great service here's another thing i
love they offer a text messaging service in which any time you need something or have a question you
can just text them and this really helps them to be able to deal with the amount of crowds this is
a very busy hotel that deals with lots and lots of people going to the theme parks if you're at
all interested in finding out more on what it's like traveling in orlando right now make sure you
check out my other video i got a full playlist of helpful videos from this trip so check that
out but let's talk about a couple things because i like to keep it real that are just okay about this
property one is the parking while i don't expect free parking you have to pay for parking both
whether you're going to the theme parks or city walk or parking at the hotel they have a lot of
different various options for you but overnight parking is 28 30 if you're a non-guest and 37
if you are valet but there's your options for parking and one other thing to look out for if
you want to drink at the pool watch out for that double johnny walker blanket how much was it 33
and that 18 gratuity that comes with it
it was worth it oh it's totally worth it yeah we're back at the pool right
now drinking that's how awesome it is definitely check out the adult pool
stop looking so excited
all right here's our room this is an upgraded room in the east wing of the hotel and they
it's upgraded because they gave us a bay view which the view is actually quite nice at sunset
right now and they have the sun is setting it's beautiful even with the dirty window isn't it
but we have a really spacious room they gave us a little fruit plate which is super nice
grapes are gone that is 50 cents
but this property has a lot of rooms
and it's a very large property but they do a lot to be able to connect it with various shuttles etc
hello whatever shower i guess it's fine
i mean tomorrow it's not really anything special but it's nice it's comfortable
and there you have it that's the room which by the way i'm staying here using the amex fine
hotels program and i am saving so much money by having the amex platinum card which i swear by so
