We recently stayed at Portofino (during the low season) and had a fabulous time. All of the staff were so courteous and welcoming; we couldn't have asked for more, beginning with Mo, Rosalie and Helda...and the list goes on. The pool set-up is great - you have a wading area with chairs and a deeper end for swimming. It meets... more

It is with great pleasure that I write this review. Over the last 6 months I’ve read both positive and negative reviews of the Portofino Beach Resort. My husband and I had a clear idea and purpose of what we wanted for our vacation and the setting we were looking for. The good thing about reading reviews is that it... more

I would recommend Portofino to anyone. The rooms were adorable (we stayed in the cabanas and I bet the suites were twice as nice). It certainly exceeded our expectations. The rooms were cleaned every day (which was nice considering how much sand we tracked in) and the staff members are so nice and trustworthy. I highly recommend going during the... more

We decided to splurge for our honeymoon. We had never been to Belize, so we went to the Ambergris Caye website and started researching places to stay. Fortunately we picked this place. Immediately upon arrival to the airport, our bags were carried for us, and then taken to our rooms after a quick boat ride. Upon arrival there were welcome... more

We found this place while strolling down the beach. The staff was very helpful and showed us a few different rooms to choose from. We had a wonderful trip and they took great care of us. They've done a good job with the rooms - all seemed very nice - especially the suites. The breakfast was nice and the lunch... more

We had a great time. The service was amazing. We were treated with so much respect by the staff and had such a great time with everyone there. We stayed in the Baracuda suite and loved it. The pool is great and the beach is very well kept (which is uncommon from we we saw from many of the other... more

We stayed in a Tree Top Suite. The view from our room and deck was stunning. The room was decorated with fresh flowers every other day. It was beautiful. The staff was the friendliest I've ever encountered. Marlon, Freda and all of the waitresess and bartenders. Mo, the boat captain was great! Both my husband and I thought the food... more

My new husband and I stayed a few days at Portofino for our honeymoon and had a great time. The people were wonderful there and we spent a lot of time with Orville our bartender. He was soo nice and seems to really love his job. We stayed in the honeymoon suite and couldn't have booked a nicer room for... more

It's been just about a year since I've been there and I'm just writing this review. But wanted everyone to know that the Portofino is a wonderful place to stay. It's not hard to get to town, the staff was very helpful and friendly & our room was beautiful. As far as some of the reviews about salty showers.. yes... more

We stayed at the Portofino for our Honeymoon and had a great time. The resort was very nice and the people there were great. The new pool is awesome and is a great substitute for not being able to swim on the beach. No where on the island does it seem like you could swim straight out from the beach.... more
