Visited Puerto Galera with my family and stayed at Portofino for a week, the resort is in good location, beach front, away from city life noise but still walking distance to pubs and shops. They have a nice swimming pool specially if you got kids, staff are friendly and good service but food menu in their restaurant is a bit... More

My family and I stayed Portofino last year and it wasn't bad for a 3-star hotel. The location is excellent - on Little La Laguna Beach about a 10-minute stroll from Sabang. The hotel is right on a pretty OK beach (but its condition can vary from month to month). Good for the kids. The building is a charming, Spanish-style... More

Overall, Portofino is nicely situated, about 5~10min walk from Sabang so it's quiet and next to Action Divers (where we took diving classes) and a wonderful restaurant called Full Moon. The staff is friendly and accommodating, after we checked-in we asked to see if we can take a look at other rooms and potentially change our room. The staff was... More

This is very good beach, and all filipino people use this cheap place for relaxing. Staff is very friendly. I will prefere this beach then other expensives beach with huge entrance fee. More

Sabang Beach, Puerto Galera has a good variety of hotels and scuba diving facilities and is reasonably accessible from Manila for a short holiday. We booked a "dive & stay" package with Action Divers / Portofino Beach Resort; which meant either a low cost room or discounted diving, depending on how you look at it. With the new toll-ways completed... More

A friend and I booked the Portofino for a two day trip. Once we got to Puerto Galera, we loved it and the hotel so much that we ended up staying for five nights. The hotel is in a great location right on the beach in La Laguna. The atmosphere is very laid back and enjoyable, and we liked the... More

We just got back from an unbelievable trip to the Phillipines, that we really went into kind of blind. After spending a few days in Manilla and other parts of the Country, we made out way to Puerto Galera and to check into the Portofino Beach Resort. Upon checking in we were immediately taken care of by the staff and... More

This resort is not what it appears to be. The rooms are run down, musty and unclean. There is not a beach as shown in the brochure or on line pictures and no place available to sunbathe, not even at the pool. The biggest insult was when the manager arranged our transport back to the airport. He assurred us that... More

I can't say enough good things about my stay at Portofino. This was my second stay at this resort. We previously stayed their in 2006. I was able to get two large family rooms to accomodate my extended family. The hotel management ans staff went out of their way repeatedly to ensure that our stay was a success. The rooms... More
