While the amenities offered a lot of recreational options, the dining options nearby were quite limited, which was disappointing.

The Portofino Island Resort offers a stunning range of amenities, from beautiful pools to engaging water sports, making it an ideal choice for an active family vacation. However, some issues with customer service and inconsistencies with room descriptions from what was shown online dampened the overall experience. While the resort itself is well-equipped for fun and relaxation, the mixed service quality and booking concerns could be improved.
