what they all say is true - i also have not stayed there but visited twice. very, very nice. i cannot believe anyone could be disappointed staying there.

BUT - we found out the hard way that the water taxi costs $16 US/pp EACH WAY (that's right, folks - it cost us over $60 bucks to take our kids up there for one afternoon - and that was with hitching a ride on La Perla's boat back to town!). unless money is no issue to you, i would recommend trying to catch the porofino boat to/from town whenever possible.
