Excelsior Palace Portofino Coast
Beautiful hotel. Great staff. Incredible views. Beware that the the main entrance for the hotel is located up a very long and very steep driveway from the main road. It would've been helpful if the side entrance near bus stop was open to guests.

It was close to everything. Breakfast was delicious. The hotel rooms could use a bit of renovation. The lobby doesn't represent the rooms. The A/C doesn't cool. We ended up opening the window. The staff were very friendly and helpful
