10/10 Excellent

Me and my daughter we had a great time at Portofino. All the staff are very professional and incredibly welcoming. We loved our room Toucans made with all natural material and super cozy.
Rossana, 6-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I very much enjoyed my stay at Portofino. The resort is very relaxed, and the people are great. I will definitely be returning.
NANCY Broadus, 5-night trip

6/10 Okay

The resort is average. Upon arriving everything was good until the smell of rotten eggs hit you in face from the seaweed. As they do a good job to keep the beach clean there is no getting in the water here or avoiding the smell. I understand this is out of their control but guest should be more made aware of this. After stomaching the smell for 2 days I had to leave the resort and find a place on the other side the island to stay. The food was good but nothing to write home about and the drinks were average.
Brad, 4-night trip

6/10 Okay

This was a beautiful, quiet resort - Perfect for the couple or family that isn't in for a touristy like experience. The bungalows are just fabulous - look out over the pool then the the water. Can't swim in the water due about 6-8 feet of seaweed from the beach into the water - which is very smelly mostly in the mornings. This resort is about a 30 minute golf cart ride away from anything. So if you want a private peaceful getaway, this is it!!

10/10 Excellent

We stayed in one of the Cabanas and it was so lovely !! Very clean and authentic I loved the ocean breeze! If you are looking for a resort that offers peace and quiet this the one! The ocean view from our hammock in the patio was amazing we would definitely return

We very much enjoyed our stay at Portofino. It is a bit out of town but it was all part of the experience so would do it again. Pool felt a little too cool. Rooms on the beach were fantastic. Staff friendly and flexible. Restaurant lovely. Would recommend.

This was a lovely, charming property. Restaurant had great food and room right in the beach was great. Beach and kayaking were good. Beach had sargassum but staff cleaned as much as they could. semi-swimable.
Christine, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We would like to thank all the staff at the Portofino Resort for giving us such a lovely vacation. We were so surprised to receive such warm attention, from the birthday cake made from towels on our bed when we arrived to the complimentary birthday cake we received at dinner. We will always remember how kind and friendly the people at Portofino Resort and Belize are.
JENEFER, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Fabulous Resort

The resort had a really peaceful feel. It far exceeded our expectations for the write up from the travel books. The food was exceptional at the restaurant and reasonably priced. It was very nice having all the water activities, such as fishing and diving and snorkeling right on the resort pier. The pool was very beautiful and the setting superior with all the wonderful palm trees and beach. The sunflower room was exceptional. Would highly recommend this resort to anybody looking to have a relaxing and enjoyable experience.

Nygeria, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We stayed at for 12 days and enjoyed every day. The food was amazing (and I am extremely picking). The people were awesome and our accommodations were clean and well maintained. I would recommend this resort to anyone looking for a quiet out of the hustle of the city resort

8/10 Good

Look no further if you are looking for a resort that is quiet, not crowed, and off the beaten path. This is the place to be. Service is outstanding and the employees are friendly.
Orlando B, 7-night trip

10/10 Excellent

4.5 Stars is perfect. Be wary and stay on the resort part of the island.
Dylan, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very quiet resort. Staff was attentive and very personable (Evelyn, Luis, Marco) Service from reception to grounds impressive, always placing guest’s needs first. Food was of high quality, individual portioned and priced relative to other resort dining venues (not bar food). Only draw back was the amount of seaweed, sargassum, which collects daily on beach. Obviously outside of their control. The staff literally works all day to remove it, yet their efforts is not enough to encourage anyone to use the ocean. Good thing for the pool. If you are looking for a peaceful getaway, don’t mind a little trek on the bumpy dirt road, I highly recommend Portofino.
Steven, 6-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Client reported 5-stars in every regard. She said Portofino staff treated her like royalty and it was a life-changing experience. She says she can't wait to return.

10/10 Excellent

We had a wonderful 6 night stay here. The staff was exceptional. The cabanas could use some updating but I wasn't bothered since we didn't spend much time in there. We were the unfortunate guests to stay in Cabana 3. I do not recommend this one... If I ever go back I will specifically request to get a different room. Cabana 3 is LOUD. At night we couldn't fall asleep because the kitchen staff was cleaning... talking loudly and banging pots and pans. Same thing early in the morning. This is my only complaint.
Karla, 6-night trip
