We traveled here during Christmas 2004. The grounds of the hotel were nice. Margarita Island was beautiful, weather was great. There were a lot of cats roaming in and out of the restaurants. However, the only real memory I have of this hotel our room and the infirmary where I spent much time. It started with my girlfriend becoming violently... More

We ended up going to Porto Fino because at the time laguna mar was booked up. The experience was pleasant and enjoyable. The food was plentiful, the drinks also. the grounds lovely to explore and the nightly entertainment also was good. The beach on the hotel was a bit rough, but the hotel is worth checking out. Clean rooms, friendly... More

Our flight was late so we missed dinner but we were directed to the snack bar even before we checked in. we went to the iguana where we had something to eat and some pina colada. The room was not extravagant but had all that we needed. The ac and tv worked great, we had hot water and a phone.... More

This was a cheap trip, worth the money. However, if you don't speak spanish you'll have problems. Got a room where the door lock was not working, was switched to another room where the a/c was not working. Also, at 8.30am every morning the maid knocks on the door, when you open the door she just gestures ok and go... More

I stayed at the Portofino Hotel for 3 days ( 2 nights). The hotel is OK if a person doesn't want to spend a lot of money on accommodation. The grounds of the hotel are beautiful and well kept. Scenic. The hotel has 3 large pools and direct access to a nearby public beach. The staff was friendly and helpful... More

While the exterior of the hotel is pleasing to the eye, and it the 4 pools are clean and enjoyable, on the inside it's a different story. Apart from the 2 doors in the room, there is no wood furniture, everything is tile and concrete, even the bed (cannot move). The rooms are very small, and many people have problems... More

My wife and I visited the Portofino Complex in Margarita for our honeymoon. It was indeed a very romantic and scenic resort. The outdoor areas were beautiful and there was access to a public beach contiguous to the hotel. It was romantic. Unfortunately that is where the accolades end. Bad Food The food was horrible. Good food is what I... More
