My husband and myself stayed at this hotel several years ago with First Choice, it appears to not have got any better over the years. On our visit the food was not fit to give to guests, the cornflakes soggy, fruit juice watered down, chicken resembled road kill, only thing edible was the pizza, my husband say's the food was...

The resort surrounding is absolute beautiful and amazing but the rooms are so simple and basic. The pillow was so hard and towels were so small and poor condition. The breakfast was great but lunch and dinner was not all that, they need to improve the food flavor and variety. It is not recommended for honeymoon because of the poor... More

Ok so my trip with my parents was in 2006. The food was okay, i had an all inclusive package. the entertainment the hotel offered is nice and you can find yourself humming the Portifino song the next day. The hotel is huge and lovely. However, the location is far from the airport & the city. It is actually in... More

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

Other guests translated for me and there seem to be on front desk male worker who knew english well, but you don't see him everyday!! The room was clean, bed... More
