We just spent a week in Portofino - bought a special on living social and not really expecting anything - and where so pleasantly surprised right from the first step out the airplane in San Pedro. Everything was arranged, pick up with taxi to the dock and then boat ride to the resort Portofino. The staff was amazing, greeting you... More

“First anniversary”

Reviewed May 20, 2013 NEW

Accomodations were immaculate. Service was 5 start, and location was perfect. Staff was friendly and always ready to help. Will definitely reccomend this resort to family and friends. The only change i might make is having coffee and tea available in the rooms. Being up before the restaurant was open made this the only thing i could find wrong.

A wonderful location just north of San Pedro. The view... More

“Very isolated location”

I must say the staff were extremely friendly at Portofino. They get to know you as family. We were upgraded to the Royal Orchid which was a beautiful room with a wonderful ocean view along with thatched roof! However, we had ants in the room and advised the front desk. Someone came by and asked what type of ants. I... More

“Very nice”

Reviewed May 12, 2013

Stayed five nights, great service. Food was good, very accommodating, make sure you try a fresh smoothie. Close to town but yet far enough away. Staff was friendly, few bugs at night. Impressive first impression. Do not want to tell all, it is worth to have a few surprises. Nice size, not to many rooms. I would recommend to stay.... More
