Upon landing we were met with a most courteous staff and the rooms were absolutely clean and with a beautiful view of one of the large pools. The food was yummy and again the staff were most courteous. Our only set back was the shopping areas were rather far. However, that was compensated with the relaxing atmosphere by the pool... more

My trip to Margarita was enjoyable. This hotel is not one of the best but its just good enough to have a great stay. The food was very good. It's an all inclusive hotel, so you can eat all you want and enjoy some nice drinks. There were great desserts also. The staff are very friendly. The rooms are simple,... more

We are just back from the Portofino and I must say that when we arrived, we were very desappointted by the quality of the room and the food. We took two days to ajust to this hard reality. But you will get used to it and after all looking back at the week, it was very pleasant not because of... more

I organized and booked a trip for over 100 people for my graduation trip through Go Travel Direct and I thought that it was a wonderful place for a big group. The beach was great with volleyball courts and other activities. The water was great, and the waves were wonderful to play in. The grounds were cleaned all day, and... more
