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.

The resort was exactly as described. The location and grounds were beautiful. Our cabana was perfect. We walked right onto the soft sand and steps from the pool and sea.
All the staff were super from the hosts, bartenders, restaurant team, ground keepers and security with dog Max. Plus having the charter Carpe Diem on the dock made it so easy to do reef activities and that team was super!
We loved Belize and staying on North side of island where was so chill, but yet many restaurant options nearby. Easy to rent a golf cart to get around island, and fun to go into San Pedro for a day.
We will go back to Belize and Portofino and scuba and snorkel with Chris and ML at Carpe Diem! And highly recommend to anyone looking for more laid back, but beautiful place to stay.
We met many people on our stay at other resorts who would come back in the evening just to dine at Portofino. Or use Carpe Diem for reef activities.

The location was very nice but we didn't enjoy the food. It was too pretentious and overpriced. We went in early October, off season, and it was very very empty, probably had 3-4 rooms only rented out. The mosquitoes and no see insects were horrendous. We literally got hundreds of bites on exposed skin even with bug spray.

Beautiful location. 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.

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!!

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.
