We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Portofino. Great location away from San Pedro, very relaxing, extremely friendly staff (they made us feel right at home), great food and I could go on and on. 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! More

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

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!

This resort was perfect for us. If you are looking for the perfect combination of unbothered peace right at the water's edge, and adventure, but still a fairly short boat ride from town, this is it. Great service, great food, excellent staff. The dive master, Roberto, was very good and took us on three wonderful dives. And you can take... More

Portofino Resort in north Ambergris Caye is a fine example of a beach resort that really caters to their guests. The rooms are large and very well appointed...we stayed in the "Mansion" which is a two-story building on the left side of the property facing the Caribbean Sea. Huge space for a family or 3 couples, even if they brought... More
