You have made my experience here in Belize absolutely perfect. I don't know of a better location to write a screenplay than Portofino! Everything from your staff, your amenities, to your food is first class. I was quite impressed and personally touched by the way you took care of me after the dog incident. You guys are truly special people and it is no wonder why Portofino is the most exquisite place on the island. I can't wait for my next opportunity to come back and I will recommend Portofino to as many people as I can.
Warmest regards,

Oh to say good-bye is so very difficult the wind is blowing so gently and the sun is so sweet. I hate to leave this little slice of heaven. I could cry a river. Everyone has been so nice, so warm and so genuine. The peacefulness of Portofino is beyond description - it takes you someplace far off and lets your mind and body just rest and be calm. I will remember it always. Thank you.
P.S. A special thanks to the staff.

Wow its not that often that you see pictures on a website, think how beautiful and then arrive to a resort more beautiful than you ever expected. Tom and I had a wonderful time here at Portofino It's exactly what we had imagined for our honeymoon. The seclusion was wonderful, a truly romantic place. We'll definitely recommend this tropical paradise to anyone looking for a little peace and quiet. Jan and Sandra your hospitality and the graciousness of your entire staff made us feel like a king and queen. Having Tara around made us feel like we were at home. She's adorable. Thanks to everyone for making our honeymoon and the beginning of our life together absolutely perfect.

My sister and I loved our stay! Even though it is a very romantic place I would recommend it to couples, friends, and sister alike. We loved the staff and closeness we felt with everyone. Thanks to MaryAnn who greeted us off the boat - she calmed us down straight away.

Our short stay began with a welcome on the dock from Mary Ann. It was a magical beginning from a wonderful staff! We appreciate your generous sharing of your time to answer our questions and to anticipate our daytime activities. Faultless service and arrangements, warm attentive staff made a worry-free vacation. Powdery white sand turquoise blue water and all at our doorstep what a picturesque spot.

What a wonderful time we had! Great people, great food, great hospitality.. we could not have asked for more, We loved being away from town a but close enough to enjoy San Pedro when we wanted, but far enough to enjoy the beauty of Belize. You both have done a wonderful job with Portofino and we will certainly recommend your resort to many. We hope to be back soon with kids in tow, to enjoy Belize some more. Thanks for everything
