Beautiful location. Amazing, friendly staff (shoutout to Mark!). It's a little far from town, which we liked, but you will want to rent a golf cart if you'll be here more than a few days. Food was wonderful, especially the steak au poivre. We can't wait to come back.

Very quiet resort. Staff was attentive and very personable (Evelyn, Luis, Marco) Service from reception to grounds impressive, always placing guest’s needs first. Food was of high quality, individual portioned and priced relative to other resort dining venues (not bar food). Only draw back was the amount of seaweed, sargassum, which collects daily on beach. Obviously outside of their control. The staff literally works all day to remove it, yet their efforts is not enough to encourage anyone to use the ocean. Good thing for the pool. If you are looking for a peaceful getaway, don’t mind a little trek on the bumpy dirt road, I highly recommend Portofino.

Karla

We had a wonderful 6 night stay here. The staff was exceptional. The cabanas could use some updating but I wasn't bothered since we didn't spend much time in there. We were the unfortunate guests to stay in Cabana 3. I do not recommend this one... If I ever go back I will specifically request to get a different room. Cabana 3 is LOUD. At night we couldn't fall asleep because the kitchen staff was cleaning... talking loudly and banging pots and pans. Same thing early in the morning. This is my only complaint.

We stayed at for 12 days and enjoyed every day. The food was amazing (and I am extremely picking). The people were awesome and our accommodations were clean and well maintained. I would recommend this resort to anyone looking for a quiet out of the hustle of the city resort

My daughter and I stayed at the Portofino for one week. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The resort offers full service from beautiful food options, in-house massage and guided tours leaving directly from the properties boat ramp. Downtown can be reached via golf cart in about 25 min. Definitely will return.

The rooms are really nice. The pool was amazing. The staff was incredible. Everyone was so nice and helpful. The food at the restaurant was good every time we ate there. Being able to book our tours through Action Divers Adventures available right there at the resort made things so much easier. Roberto was awesome to work with and Chocolate was the best Divemaster you could ask for! They have their own dock so you can do some tours and you can dive right from the resort. It is a ways out from town. To get there you would need to rent a golf cart and it is a rather bumpy ride. The only thing I can think of that could have been improved was the main part of our room did not have a lot of lighting. It would have been nice if it had been brighter especially for at night. During the day you can open the front curtains for light. Overall our stay was awesome.
