That sounds like a good rate considering it's a holiday period. We love the peace and quiet of the Portofino. It elegant but not stuffy. There are several restaurants. A great place for pizza is Sal's deli. They also have huge (pricey) sandwhiches and many different deli salads. Mama Della's is fabulous. Beautiful atmosphere, great service and delicious Italian food. Our family of 4 ate there, for about $70 including dessert but only 1 drink. Try the marshmallow milkshakes! We really enjoy the beach pool. It's shallow enough for the kids and has a small but fun slide.
The only thing I really don't like about the PBH is the lack of reasonably priced breakfast options. The Gelatto restaurant sells take out items but they're very expensive (2 coffees and a muffin was almost $9!) They also carry little boxes of cereal, fruit, pastries, juice, etc. The other option if the breakfast buffet at the Trattatoria restaurant. It's $13+- Adult. It's a wonderful meal but not practical for every morning. But the Trattatoria has the BEST coffee on Universal property IMHO! The poolside service for food and drink also leaves alot to be desired.
