Portofino is a lovely little property located a boat-ride away from the buzz of San Pedro. I did not realize the beach cabanas we chose are actually duplex cabanas or we would not have stayed there. As it turns out my fear was rationalized with the arrival of a lot of obnoxious people, 2 right next to us. That is... More

I went to Portofino for my birthday vacation. It was an amazing and beautiful resort. Lorraine and David at the front desk, Mo the boat driver, Alex at the restaurant and the rest of the staff were so nice - probably the best service I've ever had. The rooms were so cute. We stayed in cabana 3 and it was... More

We would definitely return to Portofino. We also found the dive master with Adventure Divers located on the dock great and friendly, with dive trips only a... More

If you want an island experience, peaceful nights, sand, snorkeling, diving and a paradise view, then you must visit the Portofino. My daughter and I recently spent 2 wonderful weeks at the resort. The experience was excellent from the moment we arrived and one that we hope to never forget. You can't beat the service - from the wonderful help... More

Portofino is the perfect Belizian get away for intimate boutique resort seclusion in the most beautiful of Caribbean surroundings. My wife and I just returned from a week in the Sunflower Treetop Suite. Let's start with staff, Lorraine at the front desk is a woman on a mission. She was on top of every detail of our stay and things... More

THis is a top notch resort. We loved everything from our tree top accomodations(Sunflower Suite) overlooking the ocean and the pool, to the friendly and extremely helpful staff. All the dive trips and tours they booked for us were excellent and the door to door service appreciated. The staff could not be more helpful. Every request was fulfilled with a... More

If you are looking for action beside tranquil surrounds. This is not the place...if you love great service, nice pool, nicely appointed cabanas, good food, icy Belikins and feeling like you are the only one at the resort at times sign up today. Great place!

Portofino is a great boutique hotel on Ambergris Caye. Our family of five, 3 college age sons and my husband and I spent a week at Portofino at the end of March 2012. It was quiet, well appointed, and relaxing. The only way to get to San Pedro was by speedboat and the resort makes several trips a day. The... More

My husband and I started planning this trip about a year ago. This was our 25th anniversary. It was exactly what we wanted...even better than we'd imagined! ...beautiful rooms, gorgeous grounds, breathtaking views, delicious food (we did the meal plan), some of the best snorkeling we've ever experienced, friendly staff... wonderful!
