Portofino, A must-go resort!!
Traveler Review By: Anonymous from Paris, France
Date of Visit: March 2007
We travelled all the way to Belize from Paris, France. It is definitely worth the trip...we really lived there an experience you only see in a movie!
Mo, the captain, picks you up at the San Pedro Airstrip and gives you the ride to the resort. He is very charming and always helpful. If you need someone to travel you around the island, he's the man. Always there!
Once you arrive at Portofino, the staff waits for you on the pier and welcomes you with a refreshing drink and explain you all you need to know to enjoy your stay. We stayed in a beach cabana. They're great: clean, comfortable, perfect A/C and individally furnished with care in the local style. Flowers everywhere in the room, not only for your arrival but every day new fresh flowers. It is great and really gives you the feeling you are in th tropics. The view on the ocean from the rooms is indescribable...You also get the same view whether you sit at
the bar or in the restaurant. The white sand paradise beach is clean and taken care of every morning by the staff. Beach accomation (beach chairs, hot tub, ocean cayak...) is perfect.
The resort offers a great deal of privacy. The location is away from the busy town of San Pedro and other crowded resorts. For those of you who want to enjoy a romantic getaway or an amazing honeymoon this is the place. The resort was full house (only 3 exclusive top suites and 8 beach cabanas + the mansion) and still you feel like you are alone at the resort.
Staff is so gentle and fhe front desk so helpful. Don't bother about
anything, just ask Lorraine or Rosalie. They book restaurants, boat ride, massages, golf kart, diving or snorkeling and island trips... They just do anything to make you stay easy and enjoyable.
The restaurant is good. Food is well presented and service perfect. The beach bar is so cool to enjoy your rest on the beach laying down in the sun. The bar tender is always there at the right moment to ask if you need something refreshing. The outside bar in the evening is a trap! Once there you never take off and end up around the local Belikin beer or cocktails with the other guests...
The owners spend much time with their guests. They are really friendly and invest a lot of time and money in their resort to make it always more luxurious. The swimming pool will be ready for september. Some previous "so-so" reviews on this website are totally outdated and not justified.
We will definitely go back to Portofino and hope that soon direct
flights from Europe will be available...It is a good value deal...
