Resort Quick Synopsis: Terrific beach, outstanding pool.  Premium resort outdoor furnishings including beach loungers, and excellent quality poolside loungers, tables, chairs.  I go to Cancun regularly as renting and managing vacation rentals in Cancun is my full time profession.  In my opinion, this is the nicest condo resort in Cancun.  It happens to be the biggest as well.  It's all glass, new (completed in 2008), very upscale, and is within walking distance of several restaurants, shopping and even Cancun's world famous night clubs.convenience store, gym, tennis, spa.

Resort Features:  Gym, tennis, spa with nice hot tub and massage services.  There is also a convenience store right out in front of the resort.

Management Company Quick Synopsis:
Small niche company specializing in upscale Cancun beachfront vacation rentals.  When you call with questions, you can expect the phone to be answered by me, Tim Miller, if you call between 9am-5pm central time, Monday through Saturday.

Contact Person Quick Synopsis:  Hi, I'm Tim Miller.  I own & operate a small niche management company specializing in nice vacation rentals on the beach in Cancun Mexico.  I would say my knowledge base of Cancun & the hotel zone is very solid.  I own vacation rental property in Cancun, I have worked in Cancun, and I take a strong personal interest in each & every unit I manage in Cancun.  Almost every picture you see of any one of the rentals or at any one of the resorts was taken by myself personally.  I believe that I offer some services & items that currently keep us a head of our competition.  These things may appear small on the surface, but I would offer for your consideration the thought that excellence can often be found in the details.  For example, if you are traveling with small children, you will find a packnplay (play-pen & sleeper), a high chair & a quality stroller on hand.  Or, if you would like to enjoy your favorite drinks down by the pool or beach we welcome you to use the special cooler you will find in any of our units.  It is on wheels, super easy to take with you and is also very handy as a pool or beachside table.  The convenience might only be outshined by the savings on drinks!  This item has been pre-approved for use by the resort, when you are staying at one of our vacation rentals. 

Cancun side service:  Lastly, it's important to know you are in good hands once you arrive to Cancun.  Being a small company, I work with a small, tight knit group of terrific people in Cancun that are there for you, our guests.  I can arrange for a trip to the Super Walmart grocery store early on in your stay if you like, which saves you money.  (there are no grocery stores in the hotel zone-only convenience stores).  The cost for this service is $40 & is paid directly to whomever takes you shopping. Everyone in our  group in Cancun speaks terrific English and are among the nicest people I have ever known.  If you have a need for babysitting services? If so, we can help.  Would you like some real Mexican culture?  I can arrange to send a professional chef to cook & clean up for you, & at very reasonable prices. Or, maybe you would like to go snorkeling or fishing.  One of our managers in Cancun is a dear friend of mine.  His family comes from many generations of fisherman.  Now, he offers both snorkeling and fishing services.  The tours are private.  His boat holds up to 14, and is shaded.  He can take you to special areas that the tour operators don't go.  I have been out on Mike's boat several times & I highly recommend this experience.  If you have 6 or more, the cost is $55 per person cash.  The tour is about 5 or 6 hours and it includes lunch on a small island he takes you to.

Most commonly questions:  Should we rent a car?  You don't need to.  Cabs and busses run 24/7 & are quick & easy access from the resort.  If you prefer a rental car, parking is available.  Please see our site for a link to the lowest Cancun rental car rates we have been able to find.

How do we get to the resort?  Please visit our website for the most reasonable transfer company we have found in Cancun and specific pricing depending on how many people.

Resortcondoscancun Welcomes you to another one of our premium luxury offerings.  This custom designed & decorated 5 bedroom luxury condo rests on the corner of the 16th floor facing directly out to the ocean. The are among the very best in Cancun.

To find us hint 1: Our site

To find us hint 2: resortcondoscancun "dot" com.  This is unit #1604 on the site. Enjoy!  Many more pictures and much more info on this amazing Luxury condo and beautiful resort await you!

Unlike other 5BR condos here at Porto Fino, this unit was modified after the original construction.  This modification opened up the kitchen to the exceptional views of this amazing space.  Additionally, this allowed for the installation of a brand new kitchen bar area with flat screen TV.  No other unit in Porto Fino is quite like #1604 at Porto Fino.  Additionally, dozens of tasteful recessed lights were added with dimmer capability to set the mood for any occassion.  The finishing touches can be seen in the beautiful furnishings and decor.

The 5BR units here (4 main bedrooms-5th bedroom is maids quarters converted to 5th bedroom & bath) at Porto Fino run from the ocean side all the way to the front of the building on the bay side.  The more elevated units such as this one offer truly outstanding views from either the ocean side or the bay as the pictures show.  Note:  Building 5 MIL offers typically offers better views from the corner units than does the other tower (6 MIL).  This is because building 5 MIL is situated substantially closer to the ocean and there is therefore no obstruction of the view looking North, especially on the higher level units.

Some of these units, as is the case with this unit, #1604, also have a jaccuzzi right out on the terrace.  This one is located off of one of the king bedrooms that faces the ocean.

You access the main terrace from either the living room, or either of the two king bedrooms.  There are several loungers, chairs, love seats and lounge tables out on the main terrace.  The views from the main terrace are both straight out to the Caribbean and North up the Cancun Hotel Zone coastline.

The private beach here is terrific!  No rocks, just nice soft white Cancun.  There are umbrellas and comfortable chairs available for guests.  And there are special outdoor beds with canopies as well.  Get down to the beach early to grab one of these.  They go quickly!

The pool is also exception.  It's a stylish infinity pool.  You can go out to the edge and relax in waters just deep enough to surround your body while lying down and relaxing.

The tables, umbrellas and furnishings down by the pool are also top notch, staying consistant with the resorts upscale quality.

Finally, don't forget to take down to the pool or beach with you the special cooler we have for our guests.  It's the best cooler you can find.  It's good size.  Yet easy to transport as it pulls behind you like a piece of luggage, gliding on the wheels.  It has pockets for all those knick knacks that you never have enough hands for.  And the top has recessed drink holders and so it works well as a small table between a couple of lounge chairs.  Please make sure you use plastic cups as glass drinkware is not allowed by the pool or beach.

Fantastic Week In Cancun

Family Vacation (SLC, UT, USA)
Review submitted: November 30, 2010   Date of arrival: November 20, 2010

We just returned from spending the Thanksgiving holiday in Cancun. The condo is everything you see in the pictures - clean, well stocked with essentials for cooking meals, rooming and of course - fantastic views of the beach and bay. The location is great for walking to shopping and restaurants as well as night clubs and other entertainment.

One very pleasant surprise was the on-site property manager - Miguel. He was there to great us when we arrived. Made sure we were comfortable with all aspects of the condo and surrounding area and helped us with shopping for food. Additionally he took our entire family out for a full day snorkeling near Isla Mujeres (an island just off the coast of Cancun) at a very reasonable cost.

Everything worked in the condo, it was comfortable, safe and made for a fantastic week in Cancun for our family. I would highly recommend it !

Recommended for: adventure seekers, families with young children, families with teenagers, sight seeing, tourists without a car, romantic getaway

Not Recommended

AC (Las Vegas NV USA)
Review submitted: August 1, 2010   Date of arrival: July 24, 2010

Stayed July 24 thru July 31, 2010. The view is breathtaking and the Mexican caretaker really tried given his resources, beyond that you should spend your hard earned money elsewhere! Jacuzzi was broken majority of the stay, it was known before hand because we didn't call for maintenance yet someone showed up to "repair it". We repeatedly had issues with running water, hot water, lounge chairs obviously broken before our arrival, toilet repaired with dental floss eventually broke completely, unable to reach condo manager because phone didn't have enough minutes, some electrical outlets didn't work and one that did zapped my wife, and satellite service was random. The amount of stress added to our group by these issues ruined the trip so much I left a day early. We stay at plenty of upscale sites in Mexico and found that this condo did not come close to meeting expectations based on price. Of course there was an excuse for everything......DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY ON THIS CONDO!

Owners response: I was shocked and deeply disappointed when I read the review for the stay of July 24-31. My manager Mike called me on July 27 at 3:45pm to inform me that the tradesman had been out to 1604 that day working on the jacuzzi unit. That same day Alex (A.C.) called me at 7:15pm to let me know about the jacuzzi. I let Alex know that I had spoken with Mike a few hours earlier. Alex seemed happy to know I was assessed of the matter and he did not mention or ask about anything else he noted in his review. I called Mike after seeing this review to go over each point for clarification. Here is what I learned. "It was known before hand...": When Mike was called by Alex about the jacuzzi, it was the first he had heard about the matter. It turns out that the previous guests had discovered the problem and rather than calling Mike they had called Porto Fino maintenance. It states clearly on all Final Confirmations to call my manager in Cancun if you should need anything. So Alex assumed we knew beforehand but we did not. "issues with running water, hot water..." Running water was always available. Hot water was not available on one occasion because the guests had slid the master windows wide open during very windy conditions which caused the pilot light to go out. They called Mike and it was fixed right away. The strong wind conditions would also account for the "random satellite service". "toilet repaired with dental floss": Mike had a same day departure the day these guests arrived. After going through his check list one of the flushing mechanisms was broken. With no time to run into town, Mike used fishing line as a temporary fix. Many guests go out with Mike on his boat as these guests did as well. This is why Mike would have fishing line on hand. Mike should have made the guests aware immediately & let them know he needed to return to properly fix the device. "unable to reach condo manager": On the Final Confirmation it states clearly: How to dial Mike by Mexican cell, by land line, by non Mexican cell. The guest could have simply phoned Mike from the land line in the condo. It's unfortunate. I can't force folks to read the information contained in the confirmation. "lounge chairs, outlets": When Mike was asked about this, he assured me there are no broken lounge chairs. "outlets": Mike is unaware any non-working or problematic outlets. He agreed to have an electrician come in to check every outlet, and fix if necessary.

Wonderful location and Miguel made the trip for us!

SRF (Denver, Colorado)
Review submitted: May 19, 2010   Date of arrival: May 12, 2010

6 girlfriends traveled from 4 different cities for 5 days in Cancun to celebrate 2 birthdays. The location of Portofino was amazing and we can not say enough wonderful things about Miguel. He was there to greet the first person that arrived and checked on us daily. We also joined him one day on his boat where we had our own private tour of the Isle of Women and he cooked us lunch. The pool was great and the waiter Freddie was fun and quick to serve. The food by the pool was very well priced. We also enjoyed a lunch at Carlos and Charlies. Dinner out at a seafood place within walking distance recommended by Miguel was the highlight of the trip (It started with a L). The unit was nice and when we had an issue with one of the fans Miguel had someone over the same day.

Recommended for: families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway, tourists without a car
