Portofino. It's like an escape to the Italian Riveria. As Tyler said, it's complete immersion. It's so relaxing, quiet, low key and luxurious, it's often hard to leave to go to the parks. The standard rooms are huge and beautiful. The bathroom alone is nearly the size of a Motel 6 room. It's great for the wife or GF since its the ultimate in romanticism. Al fresco dining on the bay piazza with the Italian singers on the overlooking balcony is an absolute moment in time. Plus, there's beautiful hidden piazza's throughout the resort. The sand beach pool with the waterslide through a ruined Roman aquaduct is great for the family. And the formal pool is quiet and relaxing, especially for adults. There's a third smaller pool, but we've never used it. Restaurants & bars are all excellent, though basically limited to Italian food, of course. We've always found the staff to be very helpful & courteous. They often use Italian words or phrases which enhances the ambiance. I've been to a lot of high end hotel resorts during my life, but this is my favorite. The only drawback is that it may be too low key for children. Hard Rock & Royal Pacific might be better alternatives for adults with children.
