“Very nice!”
This was a super nice resort. The condo we stayed in was beautiful and nicely decorated. The only negative thing was the resort restaurant is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. It is quite a drive to get to any other beach restaurants. Otherwise, the beach and water are some of the best anywhere.
“Beautiful Room and View”
We had a beautiful view and as most pleased with our room and customer service at the Portofino. I would highly recommend this fabulous resort to stay.
“A dream come true”
Our stay at Portofino Island Resort was one of the best vacations ever! The condo was much larger and spacious than we expected. It had all the comforts of home, plus a fantastic view of the ocean & beach from the balcony. There were plenty of dishes & towels, a washer & dryer, dishwasher - like I said, all the comforts of home. We enjoyed our stay immensely!
“A place to go back to.”
The hotel was excellent and the service was good. The rates were a little high, but the overall stay was very enjoyable.
“Almost All-Inclusive”
What a hidden treasure. This is truly a resort. The quiet end of Pensacola on the beach. The room was more like an up line 2-bedroom apartment. Comfortable bedding, great kitchen and living areas. The view of the Beach and sunrise were spectacular. We had a problem with the master shower...fixed that day. Included gulf charter does not include tip. Stay again? You bet!
“Portofino - impressed”
The only "issue" I had with the complex is that the garbage drop/trash cans were behind a thin garage type door just as you entered and/or left the parking garage and elevator area to the condo. So, no way to avoid the fowl smell of garbage when you come and go. Just bad planning on placement of the building entrance/exit and the garbage shoot/storage. But, the condo was really nice, the pool was GREAT, the people were friendly and it was an overall GREAT experience!
“great stay”
I stayed at the Portofino for 5 days - what an awesome place! I loved every minute of it!
“Nice location”
Since it was a privitely owned condo, there was no services. I guess I know that now. Location and rooms were great. The pools and fitness center closed early. The restaurant was closed for repair. No maid service. Not what I expected for the price. Would rather go to a "hotel" if I go back to Pensacola.
