We had a nice stay at Portofino. The staff were friendly, the location was beautiful - right along the beach. Our room was nice and clean. We loved the corn hole game, delicious libations, and tasty food. The front desk staff were helpful in coordinating a golf-cart for us, as well as a ride to/from the airport. The nature surrounding the property was very peaceful!

Everything what we wanted to do, we did and enjoyed. Bikes were available at no cost, we enjoyed to be able to bike to other resorts. Every day you had the choice for dinner outside or inside. The location is great, away from the busy San Pedro town, Golf Cart City. Nothing the people in the resort, do all to make your stay perfect.
Also beautiful at night.

This resort was absolutely beautiful, the staff made it even better. Rosita was our favorite!! So welcoming and fun. Staff were always cleaning and always very friendly. Sunrise steps outside your door on the beach or pier was my favorite part!! Breakfast and coffee in the morning was wonderful. Have plenty of wonderful things to say about this place. It was nice that it was away from the noise of the city but it was a very bumpy long ride to and from, you definitely need a golf cart to get around. 20 minutes from secret beach was a plus since there’s a lot of sargasm on this side of the island. Only thing I would suggest would be to add some hooks in the rooms to hang things to dry.

This is our second time at Portofino, and it was excellent. Far enough away from the city to be quiet and peaceful. Close enough to get to great restaurants and bars. The staff is friendly and readily available at all times. Accommodations are clean and quaint. Their dive shop has everything you would want to do to experience the sea life and pristine waters. I recommend a dive or snorkeling adventure with Kris. The fresh coconuts with rum just down the road from Steve and Angel and Roddie’s cocktails at the bar. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We loved our VIP suite. The grounds were beautiful and well kept. We only had 1 issue was with the A/C, and it was resolved ASAP. We had air by afternoon. The staff was super from the shuttle service, reception, and wait staff to the maintenance, it was all fantastic. The only complaint was on the island itself. The roads were terrible and they need to be maintained.
