The hotel

Ever dreamed of living by the ocean? The Portofino will be sure to give you a taste of coastal living, and you'll be stunned by the incredible views on the daily. Eat with views over the marina, and spend your evenings sat around the fire pit, cocktail in hand. Speaking of drinks, you can enjoy the freedom of Portofino Pours in the Living Room, where you can self-service yourself a selection of beers, wine and house-made cocktails! When you're not chilling out poolside you can head to the marina for kayaking and paddle boarding. And if you are heading out, you might as well make use of the complimentary beach cruisers to get there! After fun-filled days, your room will be a welcome retreat for some down time, complete with, of course, those unforgettable views.

We celebrated our anniversary last weekend and had an amazing time! The hotel was lovely and had many amenities. Unlimited paddle board/kayak access, a nice restaurant, “24/7” access open pours, complimentary 1-2 hour bike rentals, and within walking distance of the beach and the pier. What really made our anniversary special was the staff. From the moment we walked out of the car until the moment we checked out, everyone was great. Samantha (receptionist), Shah, and Mac (valets) really took the time and made our weekend special by really connecting with us more on a personal level and helping us with whatever we needed. They went above and beyond hotel hospitality and it made everything so much more special. Thank you so much! Read less
