Portes Beach Hotel

Portes Beach Hotel looks fantastic on the photos and when walking around the hotel it is stunning however their is a few issues we had whilst been here on holiday. Food Basic all inclusive food which is full of grease and is very limited, although there is plenty of choice and it is a different menu each night and some nights the menu is better than others but it is not good when most of the nights we were unable to eat a lot of the food due to it all so being inedible due to it not been cooked enough. Drinks One of the best things about the bar/ restaurant given you a bottle of water so long as you are on All Inclusive, the beer (Zorbis) , cocktails (San Francisco, Portes Blue (Ouzo), and Vodka where the best drinks, all the other drinks at the bar you could teat the cheapness to them. Pool Both the main pool and the kids pool where good there where plenty of sunbeds and plenty of seats depending on what you prefer, both the pools where the ideal temperature. The Hotel does provide free towels which are blue and in your room already when you check in and can be changed on a Tuesday/ Friday. Beach Although small it is lovely there is plenty of room all around the beach for those who with to be on a sunbed or if they wish to sit on the sand, the sea water was a bit colder than the pool but you could walk out to the boys and it would just be past your waste. Rooms We got the main building room 401 which from family members we had the bigger room we had a large corridor in a way with a bed and sofa bed in which was lovely, in the bathroom there was your standard toilet sink and bath with a shower over the bath, however the way the shower is placed and the length of the shower curtain the water would blast out directly on to the floor. Hotel Staff Although most of the hotel staff where nice there were a few staff who were extremely rude and thought they were better than yourself with their attitude to ourselves, Whilst here I had to report that something stolen and was told the manager will be in touch with the staff and get back to me, I am still waiting on the manager to get in touch with me on this. All so not sure if anyone is aware that the tourist tax has changed and it works out around 10 Euros a day for us that was 70 euros.

Lovely clean hotel and grounds. We were half board and thoroughly enjoyed the variety on offer for breakfast and dinner. We could purchase snacks from the pool bar at lunchtime., which were adequate for us. Apartment was mid way between main hotel and pool and beach. Great kids pool , which we didn't use, but plenty of slides, splash things. There is also a kids club inside. The main pool had a small sectioned off kids pool too. The life guard was good at keeping the noisy splashing families disturbing others. The guard didn't come on duty til 10am and you weren't allowed to use the pool before then. It's a shame because some of the better swimmers wanted to put in a few lengths before it got busy. Mosquitoes were rife about 9 and lots of people got bitten. Entertainment wasn't upto much. Kids disco overnight 8.30 til 9. 2 young girls doing the moves and the kids copying, but same songs in a different order every night. Couldn't always hear the guy announcing things. There was a quiz, bingo and some Greek dancing but no band with them. There was a guy playing a guitar and lady singing playing the electric organ, but the songs all sounded the same ! The hotel provides a free minibus ride to Nea Potidea 2x a week, lovely beach there, and then to Nea moundania 3 x a week, clothes shops and marina . It's for 3 hours each. Always plenty of sunbeds around the pool, but no umbrellas, so for shade you had to sit at the tables behind, the grass part had umbrellas as did the sandy part and the beach had rush shades. Always spare ones. Lovely walks either way along the beach. If you want a nice quiet break this is the hotel, but if you're looking for night life , maybe not. We had to ask for a kettle and cups for the room, which was FOC, 15 euro for safe. Fridge in the room. We enjoyed our week

What a beautiful place. We went as a family of 6. 4 adults , 2 children age 5 & 2. Hotel is clean and lovely. Our room was perfect location. Beach is beautiful. Food is delicious. Water slides are fantastic. The entertainment is a little poor and boring but tbh with 2 young children we didn’t stay out long so it was fine for us. We will definitely be returning.

The hotel was very nice, I really liked the room - it was big, clean and cozy. The food was also amazing, very delicious and there was a great variety. We had a lot of fun with the animation team, there were activities for both children and adults, I was most impressed by the evening activities - the children had a lot of fun at the mini disco and then the program for adults was very interesting. The only thing I can complain about is the wifi, because it was really bad in our room.

Lovely clean resort. Reception makes a good impression and the facilities are kept clean and tidy. Small gift shop but buses to town mon - fri. Good standard of meals, traditional Greek and typical western junk for kids. Nice little splash pool with fountains and slides for kiddies but our 9 year old is too old for that now so the larger pool suits best. All inclusive package covers pretty much everything but the 3 cocktails on offer were too sweet and sickly for us. Help yourself tea, coffee and ice cream all day. Lovely private beach and plenty of beds. My main interest was the spa, Levanda, and it did not disappoint. Superb, professional staff. A freebie neck, shoulder and back on the beach quickly pulls you into a recommended appointment and I had a 90 min Cretan treatment which was utterly fabulous. This was followed up by a 40 min treatment a few days later to finish clearing the tension in my neck and shoulders. Beautiful. Just beautiful. For that alone I would be back but there are lots of reasons to choose this place for a family holiday.

We have spent two nights in this beautiful property and we got a couple of nice resting moments at the hotel and the Levanda spa ! Thank you for the promotion and the discount from Stella so we could enjoy the relaxing spa after our breakfast! My husband and i had both the same very experienced therapists Mary that was very kind and her hands where magical. We will sure come back at the hotel and spa and would recommend it to our friends as well
