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.

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 Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David R Jan 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Portofino Beach Resort meets all the requirements for a peaceful Caribbean vacation. It’s smallish size allows for tranquil relaxation while it includes all the necessary amenities expected in a tropical resort including a beautiful pool centrally located in the resort, a small scale restaurant with all meals available and very tasty food, an indoor/outdoor bar in the reception/pool area, a dock steps away In which you can access water sports, fishing and boat rides, and finally an outdoor spa for satisfying massages. Its location allows for the most breathtaking morning pictures as the sun shines off the Caribbean coast. What really sets Portiofino apart is the incredibly helpful staff from Vincent the security guard to Captain Mark the boat driver. We appreciated very much the daily breakfasts and transportation to and from the resort that were included. This is especially true for the golf cart pickup at the San Pedro Airport on a rainy, windy night and the Monday, Wednesday and Friday free boat rides to and from San Pedro. Given the location of the resort, we are so very grateful for both of these transportation features and the on-site restaurant. We felt valued and cared for! The only recommendation we can make is regarding the bed and pillows. Memory foam is not a good option in a humid climate. It is also uncomfortable for most people. The sane is true for foam filled pillows. Improved beds and pillows that are of natural materials is highly recommended. ##### David R Stayed 8 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Kirk Oct 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff were very accommodating, kind, and helpful. The first room had a few leaks during our first night after a rainstorm, and we were upgraded to a larger room for 2 nights. The chef was excellent, and each meal was high-quality. Breakfast was amazing - continental was free. We went on two on-site snorkeling trips. Both of these trips were outstanding. The pool was clean and perfect for cooling off and relaxing. On the downside, we came in October. The mosquitoes were vicious. Sitting outside without bug spray after a rain and in the evenings was uncomfortable. The seaweed made the resort beach unusable, and the water did not get clear enough to swim in until you were 100 feet or more offshore. Additionally, the seaweed had an offensive smell that was difficult to get away from. Lastly, the roads to and from the resort were in terrible condition. Giant potholes, runoffs, and standing water made it an uneasy drive to town or the west side of the island in a golf cart. We highly recommend this resort because of its beauty, staff, amenities, and food service. However, double-check with the resort about the best times to come for the cleanest beachfront. The online photos of the beach are deceiving. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3e4e0af7-1f2d-49f4-8a75-7deafde5cd03-1761445011452.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c3d4520e-e8cb-4a08-92ff-b3e923d8fd72-1761445023964.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/772f962d-3b55-4bee-af98-d2793659f4a2-1761445051621.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0adb55a5-a722-4f7b-b74e-ad324455a1cb-1761445107080.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kirk Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### chris Oct 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### chris Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Brad Aug 8, 2025 Liked: Staff & service 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 Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rossana Jul 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Me and my daughter we had a great time at Portofino.

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!! ##### heather Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Cutter Blair Apr 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Good ##### Cutter Blair Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Allison Apr 4, 2025 #### We LOVED our stay here. Perfect for our honeymoon! We absolutely loved our stay at Portofino. It was so quiet and relaxing and the grounds are so beautiful. We stayed in a cute little thatched room bungalow with a very spacious bathroom. Also loved the huge water dispenser in the rooms that was refilled daily it kept us hydrated! We loved the hammock on the porch and used it often. The complimentary breakfast was simple and so good. We also really liked the lunch menu. The fish and chips were so good. We went to dinner one night but it didn’t have the things we were looking for like ceviche and the delicious Belizean cuisine that we couldn’t get enough of. We loved the drinks from the bar all day at the pool the mojitos were so so good. We also found it so easy to book excursions bc it’s right there on the dock and they are wonderful, you really don’t have to leave! Only cons are- if you want to go to downtown often it’s a bit of a drive but you are closer to things like secret beach, truck stop, Pur (one of our fav places) they do have a scheduled boat shuttle that can take you but we didn’t take advantage of that because we found the drive kind of fun and loved stopping at random places Can’t really do long walks on the beaches. It’s not the Portofino property, it’s the properties around it don’t really keep up their beaches so a path isn’t clear. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/213F1EDBA7C771FBF26F36DC62DA2B734038C3DF1743732150052.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/DC2643CC8CD7156BBF04DAECFA122160217C4AFB1743732150174.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View from the room ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4C5A2211F143515C299516AD1CE049F37C43E2191743732150555.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Allison Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Christa Mar 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We very much enjoyed our stay at Portofino.

Amazing, friendly staff (shoutout to Mark!). It's a little far from town, which we liked, but you will want to rent a golf cart if you'll be here more than a few days. Food was wonderful, especially the steak au poivre. We can't wait to come back. ##### Kaden Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christine Jan 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 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 Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karla Jan 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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 Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marian Jan 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The food was fantastic and I had an incredible massage in the spa palapa.

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 Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Premier Overwater Bungalow](https://www.expedia.ca/Dangriga-Hotels-Premier-Overwater-Bungalow.h27592560.Hotel-Information) > > [Table Rock Jungle Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Ignacio-Hotels-Table-Rock-Jungle-Lodge.h13080598.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Venice](https://www.expedia.ca/Venice-Hotels.d179981.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Black Rock Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Ignacio-Hotels-Black-Rock-Lodge.h39828585.Hotel-Information) > > [St. George's Caye Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Georges-Caye-Hotels-St-Georges-Caye-Resort.h1518846.Hotel-Information) > > [Welcome to Bird Island!](https://www.expedia.ca/Placencia-Hotels-Bird-Island-A-Unique-Private-Island-In-Belize.h27096946.Hotel-Information) > > [Golden Bay Belize Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Belize-City-Hotels-Golden-Bay-Belize.h46123458.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramada Belize City Princess Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Belize-City-Hotels-Ramada-Belize-City-Princess-Hotel.h10710.Hotel-Information) > > [Falling Leaves Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Ignacio-Hotels-Falling-Leaves-Lodge.h43040914.Hotel-Information) > > [Turneffe Island Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Turneffe-Islands-Hotels-Turneffe-Island-Resort.h6555254.Hotel-Information) > > [Cahal Pech Village Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Ignacio-Hotels-Cahal-Pech-Village-Resort.h6433145.Hotel-Information) > > [Thatch Caye, a Muy'Ono Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Thatch-Caye-Hotels-Thatch-Caye.h10430407.Hotel-Information) > > [Itz'ana Resort & Residences](https://www.expedia.ca/Placencia-Hotels-Itzana-Resort-Residences.h19718462.Hotel-Information) > > [Copal Tree Lodge, a Muy'Ono Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Gorda-Hotels-Copal-Tree-Lodge.h18732132.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in The Blue Mountains](https://www.expedia.ca/The-Blue-Mountains-Hotels.d6129678.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Ian Anderson's Caves Branch Adventure Co](https://www.expedia.ca/Belmopan-Hotels-Ian-Andersons-Caves-Branch-Adventure-Co.h9721335.Hotel-Information) > > [Little Harvest Caye- Private Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Placencia-Hotels-Little-Harvest-Caye-Private-Island.h19197450.Hotel-Information) > > [Belizean Dreams Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Hopkins-Hotels-Belizean-Dreams-Resort.h1566767.Hotel-Information) > > [Mystic River Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Ignacio-Hotels-Mystic-River-Resort.h3720675.Hotel-Information) > > [Turtle Inn by Francis Ford Coppola](https://www.expedia.ca/Placencia-Hotels-Turtle-Inn-By-Francis-Ford-Coppola.h39554789.Hotel-Information) > > [Hopkins Bay Belize, a Muy'Ono Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Hopkins-Hotels-Hopkins-Bay-Belize.h1696180.Hotel-Information) > > [Dream Valley Belize](https://www.expedia.ca/Belmopan-Hotels-Dream-Valley-Belize.h6958451.Hotel-Information) > > [Sweet Songs Jungle Lodge, a Muy’Ono Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Ignacio-Hotels-Sweet-Songs-Jungle-Lodge.h27599020.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Narita (NRT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/nrt/vancouver-to-tokyo) > > [Flights from Newark (EWR) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ewr/yyz/newark-liberty-intl-airport-to-toronto) > > [flights from buffalo niagara intl airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/buf/flights-from-buffalo-niagara-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to Tampa (TPA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/tpa/halifax-to-tampa) > > [flights from john g diefenbaker intl airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/yxe/flights-from-john-g-diefenbaker-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/yyz/winnipeg-to-toronto) ### Packages > [Prince's Island Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Princes-Island-Park-Bow-Riverfront.d507182.Vacation-Attraction)
