We stayed here for 2 weeks and would come back again. The Hotel is located near the city, but away from City and airport noise. Some very good restaurants in the Hotel as well as close by. Rooms are clean, big and well maintained. You get immediate attention at the reception. All in all, great address

There were enough sun loungers... More

We've just come back from a week in The Residence - our annual visit! The Residence is a part of the Porto Mare complex. All the complex facilities are available to the Residence visitors. Immaculate apartment (as always!), great welcome from the staff, excellent maid. Food in the restaurants excellent and good value for money. Lots of lovely local restaurants... More

We were given a large room with two double beds, a 3 piece suite and coffee table, there was plenty of wardrobe space,... More
