Portofino has changed
Traveler Review By: kbs0806 / kbs0806 from Lawrenceville Ga
Date of Visit: August 2007

We have been coming here since Portofino was built.I've sent friends and employees down for years.Our room wasn't ready until 5pm.I was told thats the new time.A good time to tell us that is when we are planning our trip so we don't have to kill two hours.I paid for a 3 bedroom and got a 2 1/2 (a daybed),I paid for a king size bed and got a double or queen,I asked to have the safe fixed and the guy left saying it worked but it still doesn't,the private beach is a joke.Now there are 3 rows of chairs,parties and loud music so enjoying the beach was out.The pool is so full they made my 11 year old son remove a small float to make room for people (same float he used here last year).This used to be a 5 star resort that my family could relax in.If something doesn't change it will be a 2.It seems to be overbuilt.The service around the pool is very slow and they just do not seem to want to be working here.When we leave tuesday morning we will not be back.Everything at Portofino has changed.Its a shame.We looked so foward to this each summer.

Re: Portofino has changed - by: Portofino Beach Resort Belize
This review is clearly meant for a different resort; not for Portofino Beach Resort in Belize.

We are actually very small and only have 15 rooms. We just finished our pool (20 April 2008) and did not have a pool before.

We contacted Caribbean Magazine about this wrong information that is posted on their site, but but we get no response.
