Where to start? We're a 30 something couple, travelling from Canada, who were looking for a unique but accessible/affordable getaway, somewhere in the Caribbean. Having done much research -and it seems to me the negative reviews here, some of which utterly laughable, are due in part to poor research on the traveller's parts- we decided on Belize. First good decision.... More

I would recommend Portofino hotel and San Pedro as a vacation spot to all my friends. Food, pool, rooms and landscaping are all fabulous. The dive shop right in front of the resort is the best in town for exceptional service and a truly unforgettable experience. Only downfall of the resort is it is a 15 min water taxi ride... More

We stayed at Portofino mid January for 7 wonderful days. We felt so welcomed as we got off the boat that brought us from San Pedro to the resort (captained by Mo), met by Raphael at the door of the office with complimentary drinks (he makes an excellent Pina Colada!!), waited on in the restaurant by Flor, John, and Ivan,...

We travel several times a year and to many international locations. Rarely repeat any, but will repeat this location. Location: Looking for quiet, private, lacking noisy children (only 17 suites) and away from town PERFECT. 6 miles north from San Pedro so walking to town for mayhem is not easy. Water taxi is $ 11 o/w however the resort has... More

Overall, we had a fantastic week at Portofino. Our cabana was small but lovely and comfortable. On our arrival, we were offered a welcome drink and an introduction to the resort before we went to our room, which had fresh flowers tucked into every nook and cranny. The bed was a bit hard, but better too hard than too soft,... More

Portofino Beach Resort is a wonderful place to stay on Ambergris Caye. We chose this resort to have a destination wedding and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The resort was very clean and comfortable, and we spent 7 perfect days in paradise. The staff was absolutely marvelous, patient, and helpful and they treat everyone like old friends making you...

A little vacatiion break for my husband and I before the holidays led us to Portofino on Ambergris Caye in Belize. The reservation process for our stay at Portofino was seamless: their staff (thanks, Lorraine and David!) booked our flight from Belize City to San Pedro, and then sent a taxi to pick us up at the San Pedro Airport...

We stayed at Portofino in mid-November and had a lovely time. The tree top suite is worth the extra money. The view from the private balcony and the overall privacy this room allowed for, was perfect. Staff were very friendly, accommodating and helpful. We took the kayak to Mexico Rocks for some fantastic snorkeling. I also recommend the day trip... More

Our first visit to Portofino Beach Resort in San Pedro, Belize, was in March 2002, just months after they opened. We found paradise from the moment we were met by Moh, the boat captain, for the private 20 minute ride to Portofino. Having researched places on the internet, we found exactly what we were looking for. Secluded, intimate, and steps... More
