The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Very nice Kids Club

I recently stayed at Hotel Portobello Resort & Safari and was amazed by their kids' club. The space was massive and offered a multitude of activities for children. My daughter loved the various games and especially the attentive staff, like Tia Priscila, who made every child feel special. It was a fantastic break for us adults, knowing she was so engaged and happy.

6.4/10

Overall, my experience at this resort was a mixed bag. While the beachfront suite was a wonderful perk allowing easy beach access, the room itself left a lot to be desired in terms of aesthetics and comfort. Dining options, particularly at lunch and dinner, could be nicer given the price we paid. However, the well-appointed kids' club and live entertainment in the evenings were highlights.
