Planning a getaway to paradise? Look no further than Portofino Resort. From the moment you arrive until the day you leave, you’re treated like family. As parents of a child who uses a wheelchair, we can confidently say this is her favorite place in the world—and ours too!
Yes, my uncle has a condominium in portofino and it's right inside Pensacola, and I went there on May 18th through the 21st, and it's beautiful. If you wanna go in the ocean and swim or ride a jet ski or take a bottlenose dolphin chart cruise, you can do that too. It's really good. The customer service is really good.
Stayed in Tower 5. The condo was very clean and beautifully decorated. The grounds were clean and very nice. But what truly was outstanding was all of the staff. Super super nice!! Michelle, Bailey, & Brady just a few that made our trip so fun. We will be back again for sure!!
This resort is beautiful. The grounds are well kept, pools maintained. Staff very pleasant. LOVE location being situated right between the gulf and the Santa Rosa sound. Beach easily accessible. Wish tennis courts also could be used for pickleball.
Getting married at Portofino Island Resort
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
