Bra beliggenhet, uteområder og personale. NB: dårlige rutiner for smittespredning av magevirus.
Pros:

Veldig hyggelig personale
Fine uteområder og bassengområdet
Bra beliggenhet
Bra massasje
Bra med mulighet for «familierom», hvor man kunne lukke dør mellom rom til voksne og barn.
Fin veranda med hyggelig utsikt.
Fin lekeplass.

Cons:

Manglende rutiner på renhold og smittespredning. Vi ble akutt dårlige med oppkast rett etter vi ankom hotellet. Flere andre gjester var også dårlige. Vi informerte resepsjon flere ganger, men det ble ikke satt igang noen ekstra tiltak som f.eks ekstra vask på rom, tilbud om room service, ekstra vask av knapper i heis, dørhåndtak, bestikk i buffet sal. Antibakteriell tar ikke magevirus, så det burde vært en håndvask som alle gjester ble oppfordret til å bruke ved inngang til buffet.

Mye maur på rommet.

Eldre og litt utdaterte møbler på rommene.

Noe mindre barnevennlig. Mye eldre gjester og plakater om at barn ikke måtte lage lyd i bassenget inne.

Bråkete på kveldene, selv med dører lukket. Hørte på «live musikken fra baren» hver kveld, lite ideelt når du har små barn som legger seg tidlig.

Pros:

Lokalizacja

Cons:

Podczas check-in przydzielono pokój niezgodny z rezerwacją. To był pokój z widokiem na ulicę chociaż zakupiono z widokiem na morze. Po interwencji w recepcji zmieniono pokój. Ale nie było to miłe.

Wonderful stay
Pros:

We had a most enjoyable stay at the Porte Mare hotel. Our room was very spacious and spotlessly clean. The hotel facilities such as the pools were great and the breakfasts superb.

Pros:

De många poolerna, speciellt den uppvärmda inomhuspoolen som fortsatte till en uppvärmd utomhuspool samt all grönska

Cons:

Vi hade ett hörnrum så vi hade knappt någon sol på balkongen och knappt havsutsikt även fast vi betalade extra för ett rum med havsutsikt.
