We loved our vacation here. The pool, beach, restaurants and bar are amazing. Great food and beverage for a reasonable price, especially for a resort. The condo was very clean and comfortable. Our only complaint was involved cooking. Since we came with children, we had planned to eat some meals in. There was no grill and very basic cooking utensils. A grill was not mentioned in the description, but I am familiar with the property and a grill was installed, just not working. It was necessary to either bring or buy all basics including salt and pepper. We ate a lot of pizza from the outdoor restaurant. All in all, it was a great experience. If you are driving to Pensacola, I'd recommend coming prepared with basic cooking essentials. An air frier would have been a nice addition.

Lovely condo with everything you need at your fingertips.

Amazing

I have stayed in Portofino several times, and this condo was definitely in need of some attention. The first thing we noticed was a strong, stale odor the minute we walked in the door. The place had apparently not been used in a while, and it smelled like a wet tent. Once the weather cleared on the second night there, we were able to open the doors to get some fresh air in, and that helped ever so slightly. But the smell never really went away. Next up was trying to sleep in the rock-hard bed. Seriously, I didn't know they even made a mattress this uncomfortable. I would have moved to the sofa, but there were no extra sheets or blankets anywhere in the place (the front office kindly brought more when we requested them). The person in the room with the full size bed said that mattress was better, but the bunks were just as hard as the king bed. It wouldn't take a whole lot to make this place comfortable. And the views are incredible! We were so grateful that the weather was beautiful this weekend so we didn't have to stay in this place except to (TRY!) to sleep.
