The Portofino Island Resort offers a range of beautiful amenities and lovely views, making it an enjoyable place to stay. Our unit had some cleanliness issues and maintenance oversights, which detracted from the overall experience.

Overall, it's a charming resort, but ensure you communicate your needs clearly for a better experience.
