Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience overall. The rooms are cozy with cute decor, but could be better lit at night, and some amenities show their age. The lack of a shower curtain or door in the washroom was a bit inconvenient. The service made us feel like part of a family, and the location is charming and romantic, although not very close to other attractions. The dining experience had its highlights but could use some improvement. The facilities were adequate for a pleasant stay.

Staying at Portofino Beach Resort felt like stepping into a dream with flower petals spelling out 'Happy Birthday' on the bed and a delightful birthday cake surprise after supper. The room was beautifully decorated with flower petals from the garden, creating a truly magical ambiance. However, the location, although peaceful and quiet, faced challenges with seaweed and pests, needing a quick boat or golf cart ride to reach San Pedro for more activities.

The hotel offers a stunning location with a bit of remoteness but absolutely beautiful surroundings. The rooms, although lacking a shower curtain or door on the washroom, were comfortable and clean for the most part. The service was exceptional, going above and beyond to ensure a delightful stay. The dining experience, while nice, could have been improved in terms of variety and pricing. Overall, a lovely place with a few room-related quirks to consider.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms, although a bit worn, were very clean and had a large hammock on the deck facing the ocean, which was a nice touch. The service was incredibly helpful and friendly, with the staff going above and beyond to assist me whenever needed. The location was ideal, just outside San Pedro with beautiful ocean views, providing a private and peaceful getaway. The dining experience was good, especially sitting outside next to the pool and beach. However, the hotel could improve by updating its menu more frequently. The facilities were decent, although the nearby mangrove with mosquitoes was a downside.
