We had a wonderful stay at the resort with spacious and comfortable rooms, and the staff made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The dining experience was mixed, with a few standout meals but some overpriced options. While the location is beautiful and peaceful, it can be a bit isolated if you want to explore the area. Overall, a lovely spot for relaxation, but be prepared for the added costs of transportation and dining.

Portofino Beach Resort has a charming and rustic appeal, making for a delightful stay. The staff is incredibly warm and made us feel at home, and the dining experience was fantastic with great seafood options. However, the rooms showed some signs of age, and the beach wasn't swimmable due to seaweed. Overall, it's a great place for a peaceful getaway, especially if you enjoy snorkeling and beautiful views.

Our stay at this resort was breathtakingly beautiful, with stunning views and an array of activities, but not everything was perfect. While the rooms were lovely and spacious, the service left much to be desired at times, especially regarding communication and housekeeping. The location near the beach provided us with a tranquil escape, yet we found the dining options inconsistent in quality.

My stay at the resort was overall enjoyable, offering a stunning beachfront and a cozy atmosphere. The service was particularly noteworthy, with staff always ready to assist. However, there were aspects that could use improvement, like the availability of taxis and the dining options, which felt quite limited for the price. The experience was marred slightly by the litter found on nearby beaches, detracting from the paradise vibe.
