It’s great to be back!!
Pros:

We last visited in 2019 and felt a return trip was long overdue.
April 2026 was therefore our 3rd time at the hotel and we were so glad that it’s still the fabulous hotel that we remembered.
On arrival the reception staff were helpful, friendly and informative. The best information they gave us was letting us know we had been upgraded to a Superior Twin with seaview. The room was magnificent, large and spacious with a balcony so huge you could have played 5-a_side football on it!!

Whether it be breakfast lunch or dinner food was excellent. Great service from the staff too.

All in all the Porto Mare is a wonderful hotel in a great location.
Thank you for a wonderful trip and we won’t wait another 9 years before returning.
