Portonovo Apartments

The reason for such a variation on reports on this excellent resort is that so many of the apartments are privately owned and rented individually There are 8 timeshare apartments and these are highly recommended. Newly renovated with excellent double shower , good leather bed settees and comfortable twin beds. An RCI exchange is recommended The Porto Novo direct apts I understand, are of a consistently high standard The place is beautifully kept..., the piscinero sweeps the grass every evening!!..and the cleaners are second to none The reception staff are helpful and faultless The dark haired lady who singlehandedly operates the daily restaurant is charming and shames my A level Spanish with her faultless English In grounds so beautifully kept, it is ridiculous that trees on the site have been allowed to overgrow and eclipse the harbour views and indeed light, from many of the apartments The location and views from Port Novo are their USP Be careful which you choose! From c 129 down on Ist floor and equivalent on ground.. severely compromised This could be so easily rectified

Reception staff very good. Room was perfectly fine, clean and tidy. Adequate kitchen facilities (we don't cook or eat in much when on holiday). Pool area had enough loungers nice and quiet which suited us. Pool bar served lovely snacks and meals at a good price, then became an Indian restaurant in the evening. We love the location as it's right next to the harbour/marina and my husband loves deep sea fishing. Close to the beach and on the flat to the commercial centre, but it is about a 15 min walk. We like the Wig Wam bar straight under the apartments and also the Harbour Lights bar across the bay past the beach on an evening. Loads of cheap places to eat nearby. Little supermarket directly under the apartments has a lovely selection of goods particularly suited to Brits, prices aren't too bad at all.

nice enough but basic...........dark narrow corridors........lots of noise at evening time and into the nite from shops and bars and restaurants on ground level............. reception staff, not happy at their job..........full sad faces all day............pool small.....................
