PORTOFINO is located North of San Pedro, and sits on the most beautiful beach on Ambergris Caye. Although this feels like a private island resort, the town, shops and the nightlife are just 15 minutes away by boat. Many of the best restaurants (including Portofino's Le Bistro) are located north of San Pedro. 

We can combine our hand picked guides with this superior resort  for a romantic vacation that just happens to include some word class fly fishing.  In fact there are bonefish on the grass flats right along the beach in front of the resort.

For the non fishers day trips starting from the Portofino dock; visit the many spectacular Mayan ruins, waterfalls and rainforest jungle, housing a wide range of plants, animals, and birds. Over 40% of Belize consists of protected wildlife parks and reserves. Or go to one of the the many Caves in Belize, with Maya remains, spectacular geologic cave formations, or just relax on the perfect beach here at Portofino.

The PORTOFINO service is second to none. Room service is offered to every room, daily housekeeping service and 24 hour maintenance is available for any problems that might occur. Beach service covers beach raking and cleaning every morning and arrangement of all hammocks and sun chairs. You can have a drink at the Green Parrot Bar, but drink service also extends to the beach and the dock.

At our Restaurant, Le Bistro, we combine European specialties, ranging from Italian to Mediterranean, highlighted by what French Chefs call Nouvelle Cuisine. The motto is: European Specialties With a Personal Touch . Whether you come for a lunch with the most beautiful view from our balcony, or to enjoy our specialties during dinner Le Bistro is the right place.

Reception in the main building is manned by professional and knowledgeable staff who is available for any request. Our staff can advise you competently on all tours and detailed written descriptions are also available.

Our landscaping is tended to by our full time gardeners and cuttings of flowers and plants are taken daily and placed in the rooms, to ensure constant fresh flowers to all our guests.

Access to PORTOFINO is by boat only, and therefore we offer a complimentary meet and greet service at San Pedro Airstrip and boat transfer to the resort, an approximately 15 minutes ride. Our concierge service ensures that all guest luggage is taken promptly to the rooms.

We also offer a free boat service to San Pedro Town for our guests, several times per day. Outside of these times, there is the Island Ferry service that runs up and down the island at least every two hours, and can be reserved at the reception.

PORTOFINO is proud to offer the very best service on the island with no expense spared to ensure our guests have a relaxing and memorable vacation.
