We had a fantastic time at this resort- the staff was like family by the end of the trip. Stephanie, the wedding coordinator, was helpful every step of the way. We arrived ~10 days prior to the ceremony, provided our birth certificates, signed the required paperwork, dropped off our wedding outfits/favors, and were able to travel around Belize the week prior-to the wedding. The resort picks up everyone at the local Ambergris Caye airport in a taxi and brings them to one of the private boats the resort owns, and Mo (the boat driver) will take you to Portofino. Upon arrival it was very nice to be greeted with a rum punch :-) Every day was fabulous- waking up and walking over to the bar for fresh coffee (and hot tea!) each morning was such a nice treat. Eco-friendly: there are no little plastic bottles of shampoo and conditioner- all toiletries are in containers in the shower (rustic-style) and everything at the resort is sustainable (no disposable ware). The wedding itself was great- generally weddings are at 4pm so that the lighting is ideal for photos, and dinner follows around 6pm. We had a tiki bar on the beach and appetizers served while photos were being taken. Dinner was plated and seated- the wedding coordinator will send menu options; we chose a first and second course (we figured after appetizers everyone would be fine with two courses).
