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

The rooms are really nice. The pool was amazing. The staff was incredible. Everyone was so nice and helpful. The food at the restaurant was good every time we ate there. Being able to book our tours through Action Divers Adventures available right there at the resort made things so much easier. Roberto was awesome to work with and Chocolate was the best Divemaster you could ask for! They have their own dock so you can do some tours and you can dive right from the resort. It is a ways out from town. To get there you would need to rent a golf cart and it is a rather bumpy ride. The only thing I can think of that could have been improved was the main part of our room did not have a lot of lighting. It would have been nice if it had been brighter especially for at night. During the day you can open the front curtains for light. Overall our stay was awesome.

My daughter and I stayed at the Portofino for one week. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The resort offers full service from beautiful food options, in-house massage and guided tours leaving directly from the properties boat ramp. Downtown can be reached via golf cart in about 25 min. Definitely will return.

Awesome property, mediocre food
The look of the property is awesome. The pool is super nice, the rooms are really cute and the staff is so lovely. We stayed in a double room and loved it. After a big rain storm we had a leak and they moved us to The Mansion. I actually liked the double room way more. The beds were nicer there and we didn't need a kitchen. My only real knock is the restaurant. The food isn't great, the prices are high and the menu never changes at all. I think they are seriously missing a profit center here. If they made better food, better portions and changed it up, we would have eaten way more on site. Instead we rented a cart and left as much as possible. The location is about 20-minutes from the closest restaurant and 40-minutes from town.

Spent my birthday at Portofino. The staff is wonderful and thoughtful. The food at the restaurant is amazing, my husband ordered the special every night. There was seagrass on the beach, but the pool is great, with outstanding sea views. Our room was clean and spacious. We both got massages, which were very good. We had an awesome time.

The service here was amazing! From when I first booked to the final check out, the service was amazing. The property is well kept and very nice. Secluded and perfect for a babymoon. But it was really the staff that made the trip! Shout out to Orlene, Orlando, Alex, Marlon, Chocolate, Will, Austin, Jerry, Moe, Lorraine, Isadora, Sandra and the gentleman that served us breakfast that I forgot to get his name! Each of them made this trip special!

We loved our stay! It’s a beautiful resort! Rent a golf cart and explore as you are further north, but the location for us was perfect! Things I wished they had in the rooms, better lighting in bathroom and more hooks. These are small items but would def improve the overall stay.

The property itself is beautiful. Staff is fantastic, everyone learns your first name and refers to you by such. The room was cozy and fairly clean, although there is absolutely no water pressure in the shower. There is a bar on site, drinks weren't watered down BUT you will pay for it. $22US for two mixed drinks was what we paid. That was enough for us to go to town and buy a couple six packs in lieu of hitting the bar. The restaurant was decent quality but again, EXPENSIVE. A couple of steak dinners with tip came out to $100 US. $45 for nails, $150 each for the snorkeling, $95 each for the massage etc. All US prices. After eating a nice, pricey meal, we went down to the beach to enjoy the peaceful view. Moments after sitting down with our expensive drinks, our peaceful evening was interrupted by two teenagers rolling down the beach in a golf cart. Doing cookies, speeding up and down the dock, all feet away from where we were. Needless to say it was not what we had in mind for a peaceful evening. To make matters worse, we later found out one of the juveniles was the son of the owner of the property. The next few nights of our stay, we opted to rent a golf cart and hit the town. In town you will find some of the best tasting food for more than reasonable prices. To give you an idea, we paid $8bz which is $4US for two fully loaded fried jacks in town. About $20US bought us 5 tacos and a chicken fajita at another place.

Wonderful!
Absolutely the best time was had as Portofino Beach resort. The staff was friendly, accommodating, and very helpful. Outside of the road through the swamp which was exciting in and off itself and worth further discussions, Portofino provided the base for an amazing ten day vacation on Amergris Caye.
