I had a fantastic experience at Portofino Beach Resort! The location was perfect, just outside bustling San Pedro, allowing for a serene stay. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making me feel right at home. Though I found the pricing a bit on the high side, it was definitely worth it for the beautiful surroundings and solid service.

My stay at Portofino Beach Resort was a mixed bag. The staff were super friendly, and the grounds were beautiful, but I did encounter a few hiccups with the service and some amenities. Overall, the relaxed atmosphere and cozy vibe made for a decent getaway, though there were definitely areas for improvement.

Rooms

I stayed in a King Suite - Tree Top. It had a large bed and plenty of space, but the air conditioning struggled to cool the room, which was a bit disappointing. Plus, there was no door to the washroom, so privacy was a concern.

Service

Location

The resort is located a bit away from town, which provided a nice private feel but also made it less convenient to explore San Pedro. If you're looking for seclusion, it's perfect.

Dining

6.0

The food overall was tasty, especially the fish and chips, but the breakfast options were limited. I was hoping for a more substantial continental breakfast than just toast and jam.

Facilities like the pool were nice and well-kept. I enjoyed lounging by the pool,though construction noise during my stay was a bit disruptive.

I recently stayed at Portofino Beach Resort for a week, and while I appreciated the beautiful setting and really good staff, I did find some aspects needing improvement. The beach area was almost nonexistent, and the pool could have looked fresher. The food was hit or miss, with some meals being enjoyable while others fell short. Overall, it was a good experience, but there are areas that could benefit from a little TLC.

Rooms

I stayed in a VIP hut, which had lovely views across the pool and ocean, though it was a bit worn. The air conditioning struggled a bit, and the bathroom setup might not be for everyone since it lacked doors.

The staff at Portofino are truly the highlight; they were friendly and helpful, making my stay enjoyable. However, there were times when service felt inconsistent depending on who was working.

Location

Portofino is set in a beautiful location right on the beach, but it is quite a distance from town. This made it harder to explore local dining options.

Dining

5.0

The on-site restaurant served decent food, but I found some dishes to be bland and higher priced compared to other places. The breakfast options were quite limited unless I opted for the paid upgrade.

Facilities

6.0

The resort has basic amenities like a pool and restaurant, but the facilities could use some updates. The absence of a vibrant nightlife was noticeable, and the absence of entertainment options limited the experience.
