Accomodations were immaculate. Service was 5 start, and location was perfect. Staff was friendly and always ready to help. Will definitely reccomend this resort to family and friends. The only change i might make is having coffee and tea available in the rooms. Being up before the restaurant was open made this the only thing i could find wrong.

From the moment we were picked up from our dock to board the Portofino boat we were treated like royalty. The staff is amazing, very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and everyone went above and beyond to make our trip a success. The Resort is beautiful, rooms are clean, pool is nice. A wonderful location just north of San Pedro. The view... More

I must say the staff were extremely friendly at Portofino. They get to know you as family. We were upgraded to the Royal Orchid which was a beautiful room with a wonderful ocean view along with thatched roof! However, we had ants in the room and advised the front desk. Someone came by and asked what type of ants. I... More

Stayed five nights, great service. Food was good, very accommodating, make sure you try a fresh smoothie. Close to town but yet far enough away. Staff was friendly, few bugs at night. Impressive first impression. Do not want to tell all, it is worth to have a few surprises. Nice size, not to many rooms. I would recommend to stay.... More

We just returned from our honeymoon in Belize. We stayed at both Portofino and Cayo Espanto. We were able to experience the Seahorse VIP suite and the Honeymoon Suite. Both were wonderful. My favorite part of Portofino was the friendly staff. This is a family run small resort and the family/staff were just wonderful. We were able to speak with... More

I did plenty of research trying to find the best spot in Belize but only a few weeks before our honeymoon. Fortunately a lot of places were booked up and someone recommended Magnum Belize Tours and Caleh really helped us to find exactly what we were looking for.
