The new site looks great guys! I’m sure you are happy to have it finished. We miss you all. Everytime I start to stress about life I close my eyes and imagine myself at Portofino with a ‘welcome Drink’ or ‘Red Fanta’ in my hand enjoying the sun, waves, beauty, and awesome staff & truly amazing owners. Awwww, now I can face another day knowing there is always a place I can go back to some day. I wish you all nothing but the best the world has to offer.

Love & Thanks Always,

Britt

Great to see all the new enhancements and love the new site. You were such great neighbors and have always treated my friends well too I’m told. Can’t wait to come up for dinner and see first hand soon all the enhancements. Gonna ask my friend David and his girlfriend to stay there when they come into town.

Thanks ……. I’m officially a Fan

We have been to your beautiful resort twice, once as our 20th anniversay-finally-honeymoon and the next with our college kids and cousins. Can’t say enough of how wonderful the service and accomodations are. The food and drinks were awesome. Thank you for being like family and keeping in touch through the years. We look forward to seeing you in March 2010.

My husband and I stayed at Portofino for our honeymoon last August (2008), it was my dream honeymoon! I fell in love with Belize and Portofino, I think about it everyday since I left and cannot wait to return! The staff was fantastic!! and the food even better! I miss you Portofino and can’t wait to meet again!

My wife and I went to Belize and stayed at Portofino to celebrate selling a house. We were met at the airport and ferried by golf cart and by boat to the resort. The room they gave us was magnificent with what I think of was the best view of the ocean, (room 1). We ate fine cuisine meals there for breakfast lunch and dinner. We only ate in town I think after we had exhausted the menu at Portofino! The staff helped make all the arrangements for trips and where-ever we were on the property, they were always there to help or offer a drink. We were treated as family; we felt welcome, safe and secure. Portofino is a quiet place, away from the hustle and bustle of town, a perfect place for a romantic get away. Our stay helped strengthen our marriage and we hope to go back to Portofino soon.

We just returned from our honeymoon and stayed at Portofino. Words can’t describe how wonderful it was there. The resort was beautiful and very clean. Our room was spacious and with a great view of the beach and ocean. We ate at the resort often and really enjoyed the food. Portofino is a great place to go and relax, it is just a boat ride from town if you are looking for some more nightlife. The best thing about Portofino is the people that work there. Rosalie was so personable and down to earth. She organized so many wonderful trips for us and took the time to get to know us. She is amazing. Bertha was also wonderful. I wanted to go to the spa and she wasn’t getting an answer on the phone so she sent someone over to book an appointment for me. Raphael was enjoyable to talk to and we even got the chance to hang out with him in town. He is really funny and personable. Then there is Orville who we spent the most time with. He is the other bar tender at Portofino. He is an excellent source of information and a genuinely nice person. He is great to sit at the bar and talk to. I had gotten some sunburn and he cut some aloe off a plant for me. He also remembered that I like to take a coke light to my room when we went up for the night, and one night I had forgotten to order it. He knocked on our door and delivered it to me! My husband and I can’t say enough good things about Portofino itself but especially the people we got to know staying there. Customer service is beyond 5 stars. We are already talking about going back and our friends saw our pics and want to come too. Portofino is a quiet place to be able to hang out but there is so many activities you can plan from there and has great snorkeling too.

Thanksgiving greetings to Jan, Sondra, and the rest of the Portofino staff, including our gracious boat captain.
Many thanks for a superb Thanksgiving last night; the food, the service, the ambience, and the hospitality of all were totally wonderful and greatly appreciated.

Cheers to all! – Forrest

My husband and I had fun in Belize at Portofino. We were there from 12/5-12/12… amazing time. Thank you for the hospitality. You have a very good staff. Everyone there made it very enjoyable, BUT I have to say that Rafael, Marlene and Rachel were definitely GREAT! They always gave us great suggestions, especially on what to try and do in San Pedro. They were always sooo nice and fun to talk to! Please say hi to them! Our experience there was very nice and we will definitely go back!

And I forgot to say that your food is delicious!! The grouper is extremely tasty, as well as other dishes. My husband, Russ, and I had to have the dishes more than once during our stay. Thanks again!
