We were there last month and had a great stay. Being from out of state, one of the nicest things was the convenience of renting a car from Avis downstairs for a couple days to explore international drive and/or take a day trip to Kennedy Space Center. It was so easy to pick up a car-the valet will bring it to you right outside and easy to return- just leave it with valet after hours even, and they have you sign out your name on a clipboard. Most convenient thing ever! The rest of the time we didn’t need a car, it a quick walk or boat ride to universal. The royal pacific gift store also accepts gringott’s bank currency too which was useful on our last day when we didn’t have time to go back to the park to spend our leftover gringott’s $

Wonderful video, as always! You really captured everything that makes that resort so amazing! This is my family's go-to hotel and we have stayed there many times! My fiance loves Jake's. It was his saving grace after a hot day. It is open until 2am so he would sit at the bar and chat with people and drink a beer after my daughter and I called it an early night. The bomber burger is one of the best I have ever eaten! Also, for a sit-down breakfast Islands has a banana caramel style french toast that is amazing! Our waiter said it was the best thing on the breakfast menu and I believe it! To get more bang for your buck it is great to check in early and get your room key. The Unlimited Express Pass is good for check in day and check out. So that is 2 days of having express pass and that REALLY makes the higher cost of the hotel worth it. Thank you so much for this room tour! We have the dino suite booked for next year and this really gave me a happy way to end my day!

I’d love to stay here as well sometime to enjoy the express pass! We did conquer every single ride and then some with just stand-by though in a 3 day stay/park open to close.

I'll add a few things to the review. I have stayed here a few times and absolutely love it. **pro tip** you can check in as early as 7am, now your room won't be ready but you will get your room key/express pass when you do so you can enjoy your entire check in day. You can drop off your luggage with Bell services and they will deliver your bags when you get back. Also your express pass is good on your check out day. So not only can you get a full day when you check in, you get the whole day when you check out!

Premier hotels are the best! Fast pass and water taxi. Can’t beat that. I love how I can go back to the hotel mid day to relax and freshen up easily. I’ve been to universal 6 times and stayed at all 3 premier hotels. Hard Rock and Portofino are my fave though. They have less guests so it’s easier to catch water taxi’s. Plus the theme of portofino and how hard rock is so close. We’re going back again in September and I can’t wait!! P.s we just came back from universal this January 2023😂

I stayed here with my parents a couple years ago and we really liked it! I still preferred Hard Rock but this is muchhhh less expensive. I had some great memories sitting outside by the fountain with a coffee and croissant during chillier mornings. My parents would be wandering around doing their own thing. Just so relaxing I think I’ll come back here again with my husband and kid in a few years. OH! I forgot to mention how great the breakfast buffet was! If I recall correctly, it cost $30 per person but we all ate so much and the food was top notch so it was worth it. Prices might have gone up since the inflation

Wait WHAT?! You get perks for staying at an on property hotel?! Is that a thing?! So the higher price point of the room is worth the expenditure bc you get something in return beyond the room?! *ahem* Yes. Sarcasm alert. Universal has finally surpassed disney in terms of value and guest experience. 🤯 That room looks so fun! The kid level “eye spy” (as my son calls it) is such a sweet touch. I love that.
