The resort was very picturesque, well-maintained, and comfortable. The staff was friendly and responsive. We had breakfast there daily and dinner one evening, which were tasty. We rented a golf cart, which we used to get around the island. I recommend that since the resort is about 30 minutes outside of town.

Melanie United States of America

Secluded and quiet. Exceptional staff!!! Incredibly helpful, generous, and professional.

Michelle United States of America

Probably one of the best beaches on the island and the property is exactly as represented in the photos. Room was great and the staff were accommodating and friendly

Dennis Canada

The Portifino restaurant had excellent breakfast, lunch and dinner. They had fresh fruit and freshly caught seafood. The service was excellent and the prices were fair. They had direct access to the beach. The pool was beautiful. The rooms were generous in size. Daily housekeeping. The property was well maintained. It was quite but very nice. I would definitely recommend this property.

Emery United States of America

The wait staff was wonderful, all levels! From the person who seats you to the server. The view was terrific as was the pool. Both the bed and pillows were dreamy, wish I could have taken them home! Coffee and breakfast was my favorite!

Cindy United States of America

The staff was amazing and easy to work with. Everyone was so friendly and the resort was amazing.

Brian United States of America

Best service I have ever experienced. The staff really makes you feel at home, always going the extra mile (Mark in particular was exceptional). Overall such a beautiful, relaxing place to spend some time. big plus having a dive/tour center on site - the trips we took to Mexico Rocks and Hol Chan/Sharkray Alley were awesome! Food was great and drinks from the bar were excellent and strong. Bar is a fun place to hang out. The upstairs suites (like Sunflower) are huge, with expansive outdoor patios great for hanging out.

Jonathan United States of America

Everything! Accomodations, the staff, the food, the views, the location.

Joy United States of America

Staff, location, food, drinks, accommodations, surroundings - couldn’t say enough. Amazing place!

Ashley United States of America

Kindest staff I've ever experienced. The property was gorgeous and right on the water. The food was incredible. The rooms were large and quiet. I also had access to snorkeling, fishing, and other activities at the dive shop right on the property. As a solo female traveler, it was important that I felt safe at all times, and the staff at Portofino could not have done a better job taking care of me! They even booked my flight from Belize City to San Pedro and back again after my trip. My whole point of the trip was to relax and not have to think about anything for a week between jobs, and it is exactly what I needed!
