"Absolutely stunning resort! The cabana we stayed in was right on the beach with an incredible view of the bay. The room was very comfortable and had great amenities. Location is easy to get to and the staff is friendly and welcoming. I could see myself doing a much longer stay for sure!!! Highly recommend for anyone who wants to enjoy the peaceful beauty of Belize! "

"This is our second time at Portofino, and it was excellent. Far enough away from the city to be quiet and peaceful. Close enough to get to great restaurants and bars. The staff is friendly and readily available at all times. Accommodations are clean and quaint.
Their dive shop has everything you would want to do to experience the sea life and pristine waters. I recommend a dive or snorkeling adventure with Kris. The fresh coconuts with rum just down the road from Steve and Angel and Roddie’s cocktails at the bar. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
"We stayed at Tranquility Bay as a family of four for 4 days and had a wonderful time. It's a beautiful secluded resort with a well maintained nice sandy beach. We came here for the snorkeling and it was a great place for our 8&9 year old to learn. There are a few small reefs (~20-30ft wide) that you can swim to from the beach. The water remains shallow for quite a distance and there are some sand bars you can stand up on. There is also an outer reef ~500 feet from the beach that can be reached by Kayaks (provided by the resort). What is special about Tranquility Bay is that the outer reef is very close to shore, whereas further south along Ambergris caye the reef is over 1km away from shore. We did kayak out to the reef and the channel that opens between the outer reef and the protected shallows. But snorkeling this area is challenging for a novice.
The most memorable snorkeling we did was a boat ride tour the staff took us on to Mexico Rocks/Stingray City.
The entire staff were very hospitable and made our stay enjoyable. Manager Axcel has done a great job. Sitting on the deck for meals and taking in the view, the undulating waves, fish and sunset was unsurpassed. A bonus was fly fishing from the dock - our 9 yo was thrilled to cash 3 fish in the span of 3 hrs! They will even serve what you catch!
Downsides: the resort is far from San Pedro (30min boat ride $225 return, 1hr by car?$150) and secluded. 6 meals in a row of chicken fingers was a bit much for our kids."
"I had an absolutely wonderful stay from start to finish. The host was incredibly personable, welcoming, and genuinely attentive, making sure every detail was taken care of and that I felt right at home. They were accommodating with any requests and always quick to offer helpful recommendations. The rooms were spotless, beautifully maintained, and so comfortable. On top of that, the views were nothing short of amazing—truly the perfect backdrop for a relaxing and memorable stay. I would gladly return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for both comfort and exceptional hospitality. Thank you Ronna!"
"First off, if you're expecting luxury accommodations here, you're in the wrong place. But if you're looking for a clean, courteous, and sometimes quirky little place at a good price, the Hotel Martin should suit you fine. Rooms are modest, but comfortable and clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. And the patio is a great place to spend an afternoon overlooking Corozal Bay. It's an easy walk to shops and restaurants, at the town is very friendly. And Dakota the hotel dog will sit quietly at your feet, wanting occasional belly rubs. Overall, a great value for the money. "
"My care takers, Yvonne and Norman is what made my stay at North beach the most memorable! They treat their guest like family and make sure you are safe and fed with their home made authentic Belizean breakfast. Any issue I had they took care of it immediately. They kept me informed of any specials around the island and even invited me out to drinks and wings on my last day there. The retreat itself is so beautiful. the beachfront looks like a photo straight from a postcard. It is Amazing watching the sunset and sunrise! Norman keeps the grounds well kept and clean. If you are looking for a safe and relaxing stay this is the place to be. I cannot wait to come back to Belize and see my good friends again!!!"
"JC and Roxy made us feel at home. The accommodations were perfect for us. Having access to our own private beach was spectacular. JC’s presence made us feel at home. The place would not be the same without him. "
