“Portobello Resort & Safari certainly has potential, especially if you are traveling with family. The hotel's grounds are beautiful, and the ecological focus, with over 500 animals living harmoniously, makes it unique. I think they could improve the dining experience, but the location near Ilha Grande Bay, with therapeutic horseback riding available, is compelling.”
