As I mentioned in my earlier reply on the other thread, I have read that maybe the deluxe rooms are pool view. Check out the Portofino Bay thread that is "stuck" at the top of this page. Especially look at pages 7 and 8.
But I don't know for sure. I am only going by what I read there.
Well good. I have a Bay view room reserved for our August trip. I am hoping we get an upgrade to Deluxe with our Loews Club card. Maybe we will get a Deluxe bay view. Although with the girls, maybe closer to the pool would be better.
My deluxe was right near the boat dock. It was actually adjoining a suite, so I don't think there are too many deluxes over there, but I requested a deluxe with a bayview and a balcony. I'm thinking it was in the west wing.
We had a deluxe bay view room. It was right in the center of the resort, on the 3rd or 4th floor (?),kind of between Mama Della's and La Tratorria. It had a beautiful view!
