We booked the deluxe condo but some things were broken in our room when we got there like the shade wouldn’t pull down to block the sun in the morning and the back door wouldn’t lock leading to the balcony which was scary for my kids. Overall though it was a nice place!

The Portofino Resort is the perfect getaway on Pensacola Beach. The lifestyle center is an entire oasis. Especially out back at the pool and Coastal Bar area. The staff was friendly and very helpful and my wife and I will definitely be returning soon.

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.
