Our stay at the resort was truly relaxing, set in a beautiful and peaceful location right by the beach. The cabanas were comfortable, with a stunning view of the sea, and the staff went above and beyond to make our visit memorable. Although there were some issues with dining due to flies and limited swimming options from the beach, the vibrant sea life at the nearby reef made up for it. Overall, it was a delightful experience with only minor drawbacks.

Our stay at Portofino was truly memorable, thanks to the amazing staff and the relaxing atmosphere. The tree top suite offered us a unique experience amidst lush surroundings. While the beach was beautiful to look at, it wasn’t ideal for swimming, but the overall cleanliness of the resort made up for it. We did find the costs for food and rentals a bit steep, which was a downside during our stay.

We had a wonderful time at Portofino Resort, where the setting was absolutely idyllic and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. The food was consistently delicious, with fantastic options available for every meal. However, the excursion prices can add up quickly, and the rooms, while clean and cozy, could use a little updating. Overall, it's a great value for a relaxing vacation in paradise!

My stay at the resort was truly incredible. I loved that it was just a bit away from the main town, making it feel peaceful and secluded. The room we had opened straight to the beachfront, and I relished the evenings in the hammocks. The staff was very accommodating and always helpful, but the meals at the restaurant felt a bit pricey for everyday dining, pushing us to explore local options in town. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely return, but keep in mind that the location requires some travel for variety.
