About Portofino Beach Resort
Portofino Beach Resort sits on Ambergris Caye in San Pedro, Belize, and its days revolve around the water. Scuba diving and snorkeling operate on site, as do ecotours, so an outing can begin without a long transfer. When you would rather do nothing, beach sun loungers and beach towels are ready by the shore, and pool sun loungers give you a second spot to settle in with a book.
The full-service spa handles the slower side of a trip. Massage services require a reservation, which you arrange with the hotel before arrival using the contact details on your booking confirmation. Elsewhere, a terrace and a garden offer quiet places to sit, while a library and a computer station cover the occasional rainy-day or stay-in-touch moment. Mornings begin with free breakfast, including a continental option, so you can start the day without hunting for a table.
Rooms are built around private space. The suites and rooms come with a furnished balcony or patio, a separate sitting area, air conditioning and a ceiling fan, and the views range across the sea, beach, pool or garden depending on the room. Couples will find 388-square-foot options, while the larger Colonial Suite sleeps up to five. Connecting rooms can be requested and are subject to availability. Couples planning a celebration will also like the wedding services and reception hall, and a concierge and tours and ticket assistance help fill the itinerary. Multilingual staff are on hand.
Getting here is straightforward. Free airport transportation is available, and a ferry terminal shuttle runs for a surcharge, so a car isn't needed to reach the property. Contactless check-in and check-out are both available, with check-out at 11:00 AM. The front desk keeps limited hours. Note that pets are not allowed, cribs are not available and the property has no elevators. Guests give the resort a rating of 9 from 108 reviews.
