Really nothing to mention

From the very beginning, the staff made us feel at home. Everyone was extremely kind and welcoming, always going above and beyond to ensure we had the best stay. A special mention to Shanto, the staff lead, who helped us with every request — from organizing activities to arranging transport. And to Jahirul, who greeted us at every meal with a big smile and even a few kind words in Italian, making us feel truly cared for. Location – Perfectly situated on the north side of the island, just a 2-minute walk from the best bikini beach, with a beautiful sea view. Room – Spacious, clean, and comfortable, with a balcony, fridge, TV, and a large shower. Food – Excellent quality and always delicious. We had two dinners at Portia: one with grilled fish and another with lobster. Both were fresh and perfectly prepared by Chef Jewel. Value for money – Absolutely the best on the island. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for more. Our stay at Portia was truly memorable, and the warmth and dedication of the staff made all the difference. Highly recommended!

The hotel is very nice just nearby to the bikini beach! The little balcony over the sea and the great courtesy of the staff is so good, and a warm thanks to Shantoo who take care of our stay. See you next time!

Absolutely everything. Staff extremely welcoming and, warm and nice. Both Shoan, who received us and was there for anything we needed. And Jawal, the chef, scrumptious breakfast and dinner!!! Amazing views both from our room balcony and the restaurant. They changed our beach towels and we could change our water bottle everyday. Good vibes, unforgettable dream. We'll come back for sure!! Thanks a million!!!

We originally booked a standard room and were pleasantly surprised with an upgrade—thank you! While the standard room is quite basic, the upgraded room made our stay feel extra special. As vegans, we truly appreciated how well our dietary needs were accommodated. The staff was absolutely wonderful—so kind and attentive, going the extra mile to take care of us. And the beach here is simply beautiful!

There is nothing negative to say.

It's one of the best options you have at a local island, such as Dhiffushi! The room was specious and clean! The staff was super helpful and good! The breakfast is good and you enjoy it on the beach!

The hotel can improve on number of good sunbeds and also the wifi can improve. Tip! Ask fir the Crown beach villa wifi to ensure wifi also on the beach in front of the hotel

Nice hotel on a premium spot. Clear turquoise water, white beaches and waving palms to be seen from your room (when you book that one). Personal and service is outstanding. And the hotel kitchen serves good food You can join breakfast in the morning along the seaside where mini sharks and stingrays are passing by. There is a small beach in front of the hotel with some sunbeds. And at Bibee beach the hotel provides you sunbeds and parasols. Also the hotel can facilitate in trips and can arrange the transfer from and too Dhiffushi

The staff was very nice and helpful! Sometimes breakfast wasn't so varied, would be good to have chicken or tuna pieces not just sandwiches, you had to take more to feel not hungry. But their lunches and dinners were really good, the menu is varied. The beach is not really good, Inconvenient dipping in the sea, many stones on the shore, we cut off the legs. It would be good to fill the sand entrance into the sea and make it more comfortable as on the beach next to this (I am not sure if that's public or bikini).

Room was a little small but this is completely manageable.

Everything! Starting with the staff, every single staff member was welcoming, friendly, and respectful. They all treated us so well. I would definitely stay at this property solely for the service provided by the staff. The food was good, the rooms were decent, and the proximity to the beach is fantastic.

The staff were so kind and helpful, always at hand if you needed them. The close proximity to the beach was amazing, could hear the sea from our room which we loved. We loved the free use of snorkels and sun beds. Immaculately clean too.

Nothing.

What makes the hotel really great are the people running it! All the staff members are so pleasant and welcoming that one cannot find the right words to describe such hospitality. Furthermore, the food was good, the breakfast was diverse and the view from the rooms and the restaurants is breathtaking. I would highly recommend this place!

Nothing

Travelling with an infant for the first time outside the country had gotten us a little nervous but the stay at Portia was absolutely amazing! The location of the hotel was amazing! Just two mins walk from the bikini beach and a minutes walk from the sunset point! While having meals downstairs you can see baby nurse sharks in the water and the odd sting ray as well! The staff was really warm and helpful, especially Shanto and Royal!

Nothing. Everything was perfect and we couldn’t ask for any better. Thanks for the big welcome, we’ll come back for sure and we’ll recommend your hotel to our family and friends :)

The staff was always kind and helpful, and especially attentive: we had a little emergency and they dropped us with their car to the local hospital/pharmacy. The food was amazing and the staff always satisfied our vegetarian requests, additionally we had the best breakfasts and dinners with feet in the sand and seaview. Big bottles of water, umbrellas and sunbeds were offered for free.

I enjoyed a very comfortable 6 night stay at Portia Hotel. The staff are very friendly and helpful especially Royal and Shanto. The location is a few minutes walk to the beach and sun loungers and umbrellas and set up for you as needed. Breakfast was plentiful and varied each day. The room was clean and well appointed with an excellent shower and very comfortable bed. Many thanks to all the staff.
