Does anyone have any pics of the Portofino rooms? I just booked a Bay View King Room:banana: and would love to see some pics. Also, I would love to see some pics of the grounds.


I am a Grand Floridian kinda gal, and I absolutely LOVE:lovestruc that place, and I have read on these boards that the PBH is better than the GF!:confused3 Can anyone tell me why?

Thank you!!
 
We had a deluxe bay view room in the villa wing. I posted pictures on the PBH room assignment thread. It's a sticky at the top of this board, but here'a s link to the page where I have my pics.

I'm a GF lover too and thought I would share PBH pics from our New Year's Eve stay...

We had a Hospitality Suite overlooking the Villa Pool for a couple of nights and then another kind of suite overlooking the piazza for our last night (there was a mix-up with our reservation. My husband booked their Presidential Suite which turned out to not be available :idea: so they worked out this combination of rooms...) Anyway, both rooms were great but we loved being in the quiet wing of rooms by the Villa Pool.

Here are some pics!

This is just a regular room (maybe Deluxe, I do not know) which connected to...

The large room was where you see the 3 windows at the top of this pic...

The cabanas were nice and the service was REALLY good :thumbsup2

Was the suite overlooking the bay the Governatore suite? We are doing a Villa Suite in September and can't wait.

Yes :thumbsup2 I had not remembered that but once you wrote it, I remembered that that's what is was. It was great and we enjoyed that view, especially festive on NYE, but we LOVED the quiet and solitude (never saw another guest!) of the Villa area...

Thank you. Both rooms were really nice. We've stayed at HRH once too - DD11 is really wanting to go back :banana: I am a "Disney person" but I really, really like the Universal resorts. They are great!! My husband wants to go back this year for New Year's Eve :cheer2: This time I will take my precious dog b/c I can hardly bear to leave her :rolleyes1 I can't believe they allow pets :cloud9:
 
My family over the years visiting WDW & UO has stayed at a wide range of hotel levels. As a result we have stayed at the GF once and PBH twice and I have to admit that the PBH blew GF out of the water! I have to say that expectations may have had a major part in being disappointed at the GF, but PBH blew us away. Pulling up the road to the hotel and walking into the lobby made us feel like celebrities LOL. I honestly can't remember the room type we had on both stays, but they overlooked the pool with a slide!

I think that with the GF we just didn't feel anything 'more' than the other level resorts at Disney. To give a truly fair review we would have to stay there again I suppose!

....
Well from this little post you may think we hated the GF , but it's quite the opposite :) I know a lot of people have not gotten to experience the different resorts like I have... but hopefully you all get that!
