1. The room was in terrible shape. We had awful water pressure in the shower with almost no hot water. The shower leaked badly...all over the bathroom floor. 2. The room safe was broken so we were unable to secure our valuables in the room. 3. The selection of food in the breakfast buffet should have been better. You should add scrambled eggs, toast, home fries, sausage or bacon, a selection of pastries, fresh fruit, and a selection of cereal. The selection of food in the buffet was geared more toward Mexican guests and not toward American or Canadian guests. 4. The air conditioning unit should have adjustable vents so it wouldn't be blowing cold air on guests when they are in bed trying to sleep. 5. The ceiling fan did not work. We would have turned off the AC and used the fan overnight if it had. 6. The only good things we can say about the room is that the bed was comfortable and we liked the location. Unfortunately, because of all the negative things listed above, we will not be returning to the Hotel Portonovo.

The pool and the rooftop mezzanine were closed. Black mold in the shower, I had a room with no outside windows and no closet. The elevator didn't work the majority of the time, not ideal for travelers in their 70s.

Our room 103 was in poor shape and did not have enough towels, and no face cloths. Shower floor was in poor conition and nshower head not in a good position. There should be a drop off and pickup spot at the front and back of the hotel. Parking would be a bonus.

Room was clean, staff was good. However for us the room was way too small. We felt like we were in a closet. Continental breakfast was just ok. Would I book this again, probably not for the price we could have had a larger room. By the way once we confirmed booking we were advised that the pool was not available. Not good for after the fact.

The room was tiny, everything looked pretty shabby, not like the pictures online. Staff were ok but didn't seem to care that we arrived, price was ok but I've received way more welcoming service and better room amenities, with a breakfast elsewhere.

Like where do I begin??? First of all when I booked this place I was not told there would be Reno's going on from 9 am until 10:30 PM daily with jack hammers and drilling banging etc. Secondly one of the reasons why I booked this Hotel was because it had a pool. I have a total of 4 knee replacements 3 on left knee and 1 on right knee. I needed the pool to keep my knees exercised. The 3rd and 4 th floor was completely closed off. The first room I was in was so dark and like a dungeon and the card key would not work half the time and had to keep going down to the desk and having it re activated between 2 -4 times a day. They kept accusing me that it was my Cell phone. I did not even have my Cell phone with me on this trip. Plus there was a lot of mold in the shower and on the ceilings and walls. I had to go buy bleach to kill some of the mold. After a week of dealing with it. I demanded I be moved to a different room. So the second room was better but still mold on the ceilings and in the shower. Plus the Patio Door which I was on the first Floor did not have a lock on it and would not close properly. I was very nervous that someone could jump up onto my patio and get into my room. I was told by the Receptionist that the Hotel had sent out Letter to all the booking Companies stating that there would be Reno's going on so I feel Hotels.com did not inform me on this matter otherwise I could have booked elsewhere. Very disappointed and totally wrecked my whole 4 wk. holiday.

The hotel was somewhat run down but they are working very hard to improve it! The staff were all wonderful they did everything in their power to make sure that we were comfortable! We were very disappointed that the pool was closed, as that was on3 of the main reasons for booking there. The location made up for it, it was exactly the location we needed to suit us! Mucho gracias!
