We enjoyed our stay so much. We wanted a place to relax and that is exactly what we did. We watched the sunrise from the pier every morning and loved lounging by the pool. We enjoyed the bar and restaurant. Our room was spacious and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. We hope to visit again soon!
Wonderful breakfast, lunch and pasta dinner. It is remote from the hustle and bustle but the view is great. The rooms are comfy. The pool is wonderful. The cozy porch’s of the cabana are great for reading a book.
Gorgeous and amazing resort!!
You feel like you are truly in Belize and not a hotel resort like feel.
Rooms great, staff amazing. Staff can assist in everything.
Make sure to rent a golf cart for stay to get around.
Chris the gentleman who runs the charter boats for fishing and snorkeling super amazing guy too.
Belize people are friendly, and accommodating.
Very much vibe of Costa Rica with smiles and great attitude.
Great spot. Staff was friendly and very helpful. The hotel itself was clean and comfortable. The restaurant was wonderful and the drinks at the bar were refreshing and priced right. We had a wonderful stay.
The property was amazing ! Close to secret beach and relaxing…

We had a nice stay at Portofino. The staff were friendly, the location was beautiful - right along the beach. Our room was nice and clean. We loved the corn hole game, delicious libations, and tasty food. The front desk staff were helpful in coordinating a golf-cart for us, as well as a ride to/from the airport. The nature surrounding the property was very peaceful!
Everything what we wanted to do, we did and enjoyed. Bikes were available at no cost, we enjoyed to be able to bike to other resorts. Every day you had the choice for dinner outside or inside. The location is great, away from the busy San Pedro town, Golf Cart City. Nothing the people in the resort, do all to make your stay perfect.
This resort was absolutely beautiful, the staff made it even better. Rosita was our favorite!! So welcoming and fun. Staff were always cleaning and always very friendly. Sunrise steps outside your door on the beach or pier was my favorite part!! Breakfast and coffee in the morning was wonderful. Have plenty of wonderful things to say about this place.
It was nice that it was away from the noise of the city but it was a very bumpy long ride to and from, you definitely need a golf cart to get around. 20 minutes from secret beach was a plus since there’s a lot of sargasm on this side of the island. Only thing I would suggest would be to add some hooks in the rooms to hang things to dry.
Ability to upgrade free continental breakfast at great value. They have great food options to satisfy anyone. The bar staff was amazing. The view of the beach is amazing and so peaceful in the morning.
This is our second time at Portofino, and it was excellent. Far enough away from the city to be quiet and peaceful. Close enough to get to great restaurants and bars. The staff is friendly and readily available at all times. Accommodations are clean and quaint.
Their dive shop has everything you would want to do to experience the sea life and pristine waters. I recommend a dive or snorkeling adventure with Kris. The fresh coconuts with rum just down the road from Steve and Angel and Roddie’s cocktails at the bar. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

To help tell was very nice. Rooms were clean. Very quiet and secluded. This hotel is farther from the city so expect to run a golf cart with staying in peace.
Staff [Faura] were very courteous and helpful. The restaurant was delicious. The grounds of the property were nicely maintained. The view from my deck of the Caribbean Sea was breathtaking.
Aside from the sargassum, which the workers removed everday, this place was great! Pool, food, staff, weather, and not being in dt San Pedro. Set up a snorkel, dive, or fishing w Kris and Emil on the property's private dock.
