“This beachfront resort certainly impresses with its extensive recreational options, including a private water park and multiple pools, though some units show signs of wear, based on what I've seen. On the other hand, the dedicated beach service and breadth of activities make it suitable for families and corporate groups alike; the spa adds a wellness dimension. In my view, it's a property with high potential but uneven execution.”

Our recent stay at Portofino Island Resort was truly impressive. The stunning views from our condo and the fantastic amenities made our vacation memorable. However, there were a couple of things that could be improved, particularly with room cleanliness in one unit and the dining experience, which had some room for enhancement.

We stayed in unit 1209, which offered an outstanding view of the bay-perfect for watching fireworks. Unfortunately, we had to switch units due to unpleasant smells in the original room, which complicated our check-in process.

The resort offers stunning views and a great range of family activities, making it a nice place for a getaway. However, there were concerns about cleanliness in the room, particularly with the linens and bathroom maintenance.

This resort has a few standout features, like easy beach access and fantastic pools, but the noise from early morning activities can be quite bothersome for guests looking to relax. While the rooms are nice and well-decorated, they could use better soundproofing for a true vacation experience. Overall, it's a mixed bag with good amenities but room for improvement.

Rooms

The condos were decorated nicely with beach decor and were well-stocked with essentials, but they faced sound issues and lacked effective window coverings.

The Portofino offers a wonderful beach experience with stunning white sand and endless recreational options including boogie boards and kayaks right at your doorstep. While the units are spacious and equipped with kitchens, they could use some cleaning attention upon arrival. The dining options nearby were quite limited, and the inconsistent room service detracted from our overall experience. Despite these issues, the location and activities available make it a worthwhile visit.

Rooms

The unit was spacious and had potential, but unfortunately, it was in dire need of cleaning and updating. We encountered significant cleanliness issues that required us to clean before comfortably enjoying our stay.
Service

Service was hit or miss; our calls for room service were misplaced, which was frustrating. The staff on hand, while friendly, seemed to be inexperienced.
Location

The location is fantastic, with easy access to a beautiful beach and several fun water activities. It's slightly away from the busy areas of Pensacola, creating a more serene environment.
Dining

The dining experience was lacking due to limited options both within the resort and nearby. We found the local area to be a food desert during our stay.
Facilities

The resort offers a great variety of recreational facilities like pools and beach sports, which is excellent for family fun. However, it feels like essential items like toilet paper and cleaning supplies are not adequately stocked.

The Portofino Resort offered a range of experiences, from breathtaking views to organized family activities, making it a delightful choice for our vacation. However, one major drawback was the inconsistency with the room's decor, which didn't match what was advertised. Overall, it was a good value for money considering the amenities and environment, but potential guests should be mindful of the variations in the condos.

Rooms
