Our stay at El Rey de Portalon was amazing! The home is just stunning - while accurate, the photos can't do it justice. 3 large bedrooms, one of which stands alone just past the pool with a 270 degree view of the mountains and coast, all three host a full bath and comfy king bed. The kitchen/dining/family area is huge with views everywhere! The pool is lovely.
We loved having Gary Cerdas as a personal concierge, provided by Osa management. He helped us book experiences with trust and confidence and was always available when we had questions, even connecting us to a private chef (Chef Mario, who was amazing!) for a dinner one night.
Osa property management was spot on with communications, making every aspect of the experience easy. And the 11am checkout plus checkout instructions are very guest friendly!
Yes, you need 4x4 to get up the hill - we booked a Suziki Jimney and it was great. Mara polo beach 15 min south is lovely, stretching forever and nearly deserted!

Thank you so much, Thomas, for this absolutely stunning 5-star review! We’re beyond thrilled to hear that El Rey de Portalón exceeded even its photos — those three gorgeous king bedrooms, the standalone suite with the 270-degree view of the mountains and coast, the expansive kitchen and living areas, and that lovely pool all coming together to create such a breathtaking experience is exactly what makes this property so truly special in Portalón. We’re also so proud to hear that our Concierge Team and Chef Mario made your stay even more memorable — booking experiences with trust and confidence, being always available, and delivering an amazing private chef dinner are all things we love providing for every guest. Your kind words about our communications, the guest-friendly checkout process, and all the thoughtful details mean the world to our entire team! And thank you for the wonderful tips about the Suzuki Jimny for the 4x4 requirement and the beautiful Playa Marco Polo just 15 minutes south — future guests will absolutely love that recommendation!
