Located North
of San Pedro, Portofino sits on the most beautiful beaches of the
island. Although you come to a very peaceful and quiet resort, town,
shops and the nightlife are just 15 minutes away by boat. Many of
the best restaurants (including Portofino's Le Bistro) are located
north of San Pedro.
The PORTOFINO
service is second to none. Room service is offered to every room,
daily housekeeping service and 24 hour maintenance is available
for any problems that might occur.

covers beach raking and cleaning every morning and arrangement of
all hammocks and sunchairs. You can have a drink at the Green Parrot
Bar, but drink service also extends to the beach and the dock.
At their restaurant,
Le Bistro, they combine European specialties, ranging from Italian
to Mediterranean, highlighted by what French Chefs call Nouvelle
Cuisine. The motto is: European Specialties With a Personal Touch
. Whether you come for a lunch with the most beautiful view from
the balcony, or to enjoy specialties during dinner Le Bistro is
the right place.
Reception in the main building is manned by professional and knowledgeable
staff who is available for any request. The
landscaping is tended to by full time gardeners and cuttings of
flowers and plants are taken daily and placed in the rooms, to ensure
constant fresh flowers to all guests.
Access to PORTOFINO is by boat only, and therefore they offer a
complimentary meet and greet service at San Pedro Airstrip and boat
transfer to the resort, an approximately 15 minutes ride. Their
concierge service ensures that all guest luggage is taken promptly
to the rooms.

times per day. Outside of these times, there is the Island Ferry
service that runs up and down the island at least every two hours,
