We had a wonderful stay! The beds were firm and very comfortable, and the bathrooms were spacious. The condo was perfect for our group of three couples, and there was even a twin mattress in the master closet that worked well for our teenage daughter.

The views were absolutely breathtaking. They were especially appreciated by our older family members who weren’t able to spend time on the beach but could still enjoy the beautiful ocean scenery from the windows.

The only minor issue was that we could have used a few more towels. Fortunately, there was a washer and dryer, so it was easy to wash and reuse the towels we had.

Overall, we had a fantastic visit and would happily stay here again!

Room was very nice , clean as expected. We’ve stayed at this resort in the past and had a good experience. Everything was good, except the food and drinks are extremely overpriced. I would also like to add that the staff near and around the pool and bar area should work on their mannerisms, quite rude . If I’m spending almost $5000.00 for a stay at your resort, I expect to be treated like royalty. I was treated very well our previous stay , I just don’t feel like I , (we) , were treated the same as before.Just saying, not too sure if we ever return.

The view from the balcony was incredible! The pool by the bay was resort level quality and had a stocked bar in addition to, two dining options. Direct easy access to the gulf side where the resort had chairs and umbrellas, pending you upgraded your package.

My only criticism would be the adventure package pricing is a bit high considering how frequently you may actually utilize it. I think a single use option should be provided such as water park for two hours, Kayaks for one hour etc. just felt for my family personally we only spent several
Hours using those amenities and it could have been more cost effective for travelers. Otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend to

The property set the bar for a relaxing, yet engaging, vacation. The room was spacious, as we were accommodating five people.The food choices were diverse and the pool areas were laid out beautifully. The live music by the pool was such a a nice touch, and there was any activity one could want by the water. A swift walk to the beach for another adventure directly across from the hotel set the tone for a day of fun I. The sun. We will be back.

We absolutely loved our stay. The pool was great, the condo was fabulous, the communication was great, the view was beautiful, the nachos by the pool were awesome. The only downside to the entire trip was there was no breakfast options in the onsite restaurant for the weekend that we were staying. We had a great time and plan on visiting again. An added plus to our mini vacation was that circumstances were just right to request a late check and we were able to spend our Sunday in the pool before driving home later in the day for home.

Expensive for what it is.

While the condo was very nice, it was quite expensive for what and where it is. I will add however that we were traveling the first of the week of a lot of spring break travel, so that surely hiked rates.

The condo and staff were no problem. I just don't know that it was entirely worth the price of admission.

The property was nice. The rooms were clean. There was a couple light bulbs burnt out and the a/c had a small issue but otherwise was nice. The bad thing was that this property is apparently seaonsal and we were not told that some of the restuarnts were closed and that there was no where on site to have breakfast includong the continental breakfast that was also closed due to seasonal. The only option was srarbucks for a coffee and bagel. Even starbucks does not make breakfast sandwiches during the \"seasonal shutdoen\". So no breakfast all week. That should be advertised as when you go to florida you dont plan on seasonal shutdowns.

Beautiful property, helpful friendly staff. Rooms were pretty clean, just a few spots on rugs, scratched up tables and bathrooms needed a bit of updating. We rented a room with a queen pull out sofa, which was only a sofa, no bed, so needed a roll away bed. Property was clean, friendly staff, beautiful beaches and pools. Travel was a bit tricky, Uber XL hard to get, but given name of driver who was amazing and mostly available. Overall great experience,would definitely return.

While Portofino itself is beautiful, all units are individually owned. We have stayed here several times in different units but this particular unit was in poor condition and poorly managed. It was clean, had excellent views, and excellent amenities with the resort. However, the unit lacked basic cooking utensils (which is why we chose this over a hotel so we could prepare our own meals), had electricity issues (outlets didn't work in either bathroom rendering the blow dryers useless) and was extremely loud (the unit below us was under renovation and a jack hammer was used from 8am until 5pm every. Single. Day. Which set off the fire alarm from construction dust twice prompting everyone to evacuate the building) There were also no batteries in the TV remotes, in every room so we couldn't even borrow batteries from one remote to work another. We tried to call maintenance about the issues but after 3 days we finally found our own maintenance guy, bought a hairdryer, and bought batteries. Needless to say our short vacation would've been better spent and more relaxing had we just stayed home. Again, the resort itself is amazing and other units are wonderful, just don't book THIS one unit or use this rental management company because their is no communication and basic things, like batteries in a remote, are overlooked by their cleaning and inspection teams. Hope this helps someone in the future!

Good: Love the area and love the views both a wave side and a calm side and multiple pools to enjoy.

Bad: Two TVs did not work because missing plug and other I am guessing because of batteries. Stereo did not work because looked like power broken. Chair at table lucky caught was unscrewed because would have hurt someone.

Ugly: Mold on curtains. Fire alarm btry was going out so went off all night. No communications with maintenance or front desk after hours to fix anything or come fix come morning. Parking places were not explained 1st day so we were not parking in right spot but no one told us until last day.

The property units need to be updated and our unit was dirty, the bed skirt was filthy. Most of the pillows didn’t have pillow cases on them and we didn’t have any wash cloths. We called upon arrival for some pillow cases and wash cloths that after more calls were finally delivered @ 10pm that night. The property location is beautiful and the amenities were fantastic!

Dilapidated Room at Great Resort

Hotel Property was Fantastic but the room was terrible. Everything in it was malfunctioning and VERY outdated. We told front desk & they never sent anyone out to fix. After calling several times and being hung up on we walked down to get help. When asked why the issue wasn’t being fixed the staff at the counter said he wasn’t working there much longer and blew us off.

Very nice resort, however, suite furniture is bad and old. Cleanliness inside the suite was bad.

Everything you want to do is on property, for a price of course but it was a good price for a family of 6, 4 adults 2 kids. The shopping was not walking distance but if you hop into a mini car you could drive to them. Room was outdated with old furniture we thought was going to break.

Nice property but. My check in was late called the front desk cause the hot water wasn’t working. Maintenance came up and the hot water heater was broken. When asked about moving or changing my room “manager had to be called” just to be downgraded to a lower smaller room. Then, going back to the front it was everybody else fault on way things are going the way they are.

Was not impressed by this property. I was There during hurricane sally and they started just leaving updates outside our door so we didn’t know anything unless we left abd I wasnt Leaving bc the weather was bad. They finally started texting updates. They texted the water was going to be turned off at 11pm one night and I immediately went to take a shower and store some water and it was already off. Many people in the actual tower were wearing masks. Very limited food options. Some of it wasn’t their fault bc of hurricane but all in all it was not impressive and expensive for what you get

Loved the resort!

We loved the Portofino Resort location but the room we booked thru vrbo was not the room we got. Not happy about that bc the room we booked had the right number of beds. This room was not in the same tower. I wish we had been notified before walking in to the condo and realizing this was not the same room.

Great condo but not as advertised

The pictures shown in this listing are stock photos & are not the condo you will be renting. The staff at Portifino were very kind and explained that to me. I was disappointed since I picked this listing bc it had 2 beds in the 2nd bedroom. My daughter had to sleep on the couch and there was no sleeper sofa.

We love the Portifino, but will be renting directly from them in the future.

Not the condo that I reserved! I DO NOT RECOMMEND VRBO

Upon arrival I was put in a unit that was NOT the one that I reserved online. I called the front desk and was advised that I’d have to speak w/ a VRBO rep due to booking through them. There was no comparable rooms available so after traveling all day I asked front desk if there was a 3 bedroom available b/c the amount of travelers we had needed to be accommodated by 3 beds. I was given a runaround from VRBO and assigned a case number which I had to use to call back the following day in order to communicate with VRBO and the front desk. I called 3 separate times and got nothing accomplished. I’m guessing everyone is happy because they got paid and I had to dish out more than I budgeted for . Will NEVER book through VRBO ever again.

Not as advertised! Poor representation of Portofino by this owner!

I have had the pleasure of staying at Portofino Resort several times and always enjoy the beauty and cleanliness of the condos. This stay, however, was NOT as adversities. The owner displays generic advertising pictures of the room as opposed to actual pictures. After hours of online searching Portofino rooms, I chose this one because of the decor and lovely patio furniture; however was sorely disappointed upon arrival. Please see list below for details:
1. Not clean! Floors were sandy; bathroom shower was full of mildew; used ziplock bags left in kitchen drawers, curtain had something brown smeared all over it...gross!
2. Balcony columns were chewed down to the nub by a dog (assuming).
3. Balcony furniture (2 tables w/ 2 chairs each) was falling apart, 1 of the 4 chairs had to be taken away by maintenance because it was completely fallen through at the seat.
4. Ice/water function in refrigerator did not work. Maintenance had to disconnect water to the refrigerator to avoid water pouring onto the kitchen floor.
5. Shower water pressure in guest bedroom was weak due to faucet malfunction (guest had to share master bedroom shower).
6. Shower handle in master bedroom was not mounted and would fall off if not turned carefully.
7. Condo advertises sleep capacity of 7, however there were only two beds. The couch has two reclining chairs on each end which does not qualify as a proper sleep area (also not enough extra linen to accommodate this number).

I have pictures to include, however uploading on this forum is not an option. I will add them to trip advisor.

The property was beautiful me and my family will definitely go back we were in tower 1 room 802 . We didn’t know that there were no cleaning services and was not told that a fire alarm will go off once a week. We were woken up with loud alarm saying there was a fire exit now and only use stairs. We were totally panicked and had to go down a lot of stairs my mother didn’t even have shoes on and has a bad back . Many people were scared and trying to get down all these flights of stairs. It was very dangerous and could have been a bad accident

Thanksgiving in Pensacola Beach

Great property. Some hidden charges ie resort fee 153.00 due upon checking in. Wasn’t aware of this. Overall a beautiful property. I recommend tower 2 ocean view if your gonna spend the money might as well have the best view. Best place to eat is Peg Leg Petes. Can get on waitlist on Yelp. I advise you do it.

We love portofino. Unit 606 in tower 2 where we stayed had horrible beds that squeeked and the furniture was beat up. Not what you would expect for the money we paid. Also, the unit above us had millenials that made noise all night the first night. The staff finally got it under control. We would expect a nicer room and more peace and quiet when and if we go back. Our first night should have been refunded due to the noise and the staff's failure to stop it asap. It took 6 or 7 phone calls to security before it improved.

The condo's were very nice and we enjoyed our stay! A few negatives were you had to ask a lot of questions to find out details, its not given upon check in and some we didn't figure out until the last day. Also, pools close at 10pm and we were asked to leave the pool even after it had rained all day and it was our only chance to get in the water :(

Satisfied

This is our first time to Pensacola. Previously did Watercolor or Seaside (over the past 10 years) but just got tired of the crowds. Portofino is an amazing and well maintained destination. Beaches are great. This unit looks over the Santa Rosa Sound and not the ocean but the views are still fantastic. This Unit has been well maintained and we found the location to be very quiet and peaceful. I would definitely stay in this Unit again.

Loved the views! Loved all of the amenities for my girls who don't like to sit still. The free beach trolley going into town was awesome! I was a little disappointed at how early the restaurants and pool bar closed. Our room was great - the only disappointment there was we were told that there would be 2 beds in the 2nd bedroom and there was only 1 and the furnishings on our balcony were not that great. We will definitely return to Portofino.

We delayed our arrival to 4:45pm because we were told the checkin was verified for 5 pm...the room was not ready until 6 pm. We checked in at 6 pm but the rooms were filled with blowers (4) and 3 dehumidifiers, and the carpets were wet from shampooing (no reason given to us for the shampooing). My grandson appeared the second day with multiple \"sand flea\" bites on his legs and back...said he hadn't been to the beach so it must have come from in his bedroom. Granddaughter said she found a couple of small insects , like fleas , in the same bedroom 2 days later.

The resort is nice, nice people but 1 thing I do not like this time is that all the towels smell MUSTY. I have to wash it all again and I before I left the resort, I wash it so the next family won't have any problem with the towels smell. another thing is that the bed kinda soft, I sunk in like sleeping with my back in a hole. Other than that, it's great and beautiful. I will come back Just a comments to a better experience.

Felt a little cheated:(

Overall it was nice but we paid over $1,000.00 for one weekend and booked it to come in on Friday for the kids to see the fireworks. They had a Christian convention the week before so they did the fireworks on Wednesday. To me they should have done them again on Friday as we paid the same amount and were told they would have them. Big, big bummer! Also, we asked for 1 king and 1 queen and we got 2 twins, a broken pull out sofa and a broken recliner. It was all pretty but no one had comfortable sleeping arrangements so pretty didn't mean too much at bedtime.
