Hotel Portofino was the one disappointment of our holiday reservations in Costa Rica. We were 4 in a 2 bedroom apartment. It was not clean. We had to clean it ourselves before we opened our luggage. Hazel, the manager, was unsympathetic. When we showed her that we could write out name clearly in the dust on the counter, she merely... More

Rooms were clean, but very old looking. Beds, pillows, and furniture were all dated. Coffee maker in room is not a coffee maker.

Great Service, Safe, Great Value. Good proximity to good restaurants.
