The hotel staff was very accommodating all week as we utilized multiple meeting spaces and accommodations. The food, both with banquet service and Baleen was well above expectations. The guests were extremely satisfied and look forward to returning. Thank you to all the Portofino staff, Drew, Kathy, Lindsay, Lauren, Katelyn, Julio, Memo, Luis, Bianca, Arturo, Blyth THANK YOU!!!

Unique location with excellent amenities
You won't have unobstructed ocean views here, but the sea lions are an absolute treat! The pool is very warm & the hot tub is hot! The locals who rent marina slips & have access to amenities are the hidden gems of this property; their recommendations are priceless. The lobby/lounge area is beautiful; the rooms are nice but underwhelming. BALEENkitchen's food was better than I expected, but know that the bar & restaurant are closed from 2-4 pm, which makes early arrival especially unpleasant. Shout to Hannah at the restaurant and Ms. Valenzuela at the front desk- they were great!

Pre Cruise Getaway
My wife was excited when she found this property as she was looking for a place on the water in Redondo Beach. It didn't disappoint as location is quiet and away from busy highway and within walking distance to everything. While an older property that has been updated it still holds that old school charm. Bed was super comfortable and room (suite) of a good size. All the staff were friendly and professional and super helpful. Can't wait to stay for longer next time!

Lovely Portofino! A gem!
We had our wedding reception here in January 2023. If you want a unique experience with gorgeous Southern California views this is it. Talk to Rain he’s wonderful and patient and communicative. The staff is amazing the food is amazing the open bar is amazing and the place is just overall everything we expected. It’s cozy and welcoming but still elegant and unique experience. Will definitely be staying at the hotel again!

SIMPLY the BEST - The EXCEPTIONAL STAFF Makes this Portofino Property!
When you arrive at The Portofino Hotel & Marina you'll be blessed with a professional, welcoming, caring staff in a clean, relaxing, nautical setting. It's quiet, charming, water-front atmosphere has easy access to local beaches, restaurants and sea lions playing within view. Leilani exceeded our expectations on the phone prior to our arrival. She politely answered all of our questions and welcomed us. The valet staff sets the tone as they're actively waiting to assist and welcome guests. Smile and say hi to Sweet Lovely Yareli, Michael and Happy Mac if you're lucky enough to see them. You'll recognize them because of their huge smiles, and quick attention to help you with luggage, parking, LYFT access, doors and more. Once inside I hope you're lucky enough to see Bianca, Leilani, Chelsea, Adrianna, Carlos, Nancy, Danny, Giovanni, Angel, Cynthia or any of the other amazing staff members eager to welcome you and help you have the best overall experience. If you've booked a stay here, you're in for a treat! There's fresh water and relaxing seating in the beautiful lobby while you wait for your car or LYFT driver. There's handicapped parking close to the front door and a lift to provide ADA access to the fireplace level. You'll enjoy views of the ocean and or marina from decks with outdoor seating. There's so much to watch from all rooms of the hotel: marina boat activity, sea lions, seagulls, paddle boards, sail boats, kayaks and more in clear view. There's 3 levels in this hotel, with benefits of each. The first floor puts you closer to the lobby, ice machines, fireplace/living room, bar, pool, fitness room, hot tub and front desk staff. The 2nd and 3rd floors have better views and long halls that are filled with music on many evenings. The establishment is very accommodating for people that have disability. I was able to safely travel within the hotel with my mobility equipment. The rain shower head was relaxing and the extra towels were provided by smiling hard-working staff. We wanted to use room service more often because the food was OUTSTANDING every single time, delicious, beautifully displayed and quickly delivered. We would have ordered more often, if the pricing wasn't so high. The cost of a room service cup of soup was pricier than expected. That said, we splurged often to enjoy tacos and sliders in the beautiful living room. The lovely atmosphere inside & looking out to the ocean, is worth every penny. Highly recommend.
