PortoBay Blue Ocean

PortoBay Blue Ocean

10/10 Excellent
"The resort was great and the room was comfortable with great nearby amenities. The walk to the beach is a bit long, but it's nice being away from all the chaos in the area. The live music each night was a great perk and the buffet breakfast was excellent. Having the adult-only pool was also a great perk as we were traveling without our kids for the first time in 15 years so it was great to have a relaxing time on the comfy loungers away from the main pool. Only issue was that the air conditioning in our room was a bit weak. We ran is constantly through the stay just to keep it cool enough."

10/10 Excellent
"Spacious, clean, and peaceful stay We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The rooms and suites are very spacious, impeccably clean, and well-maintained throughout. As we rented an Electric car, having a reliable electric car charger on-site made our trip much easier. Pool & Beach: We always found available sun loungers, and the pool area never felt overcrowded, even if the water temperature was a little cold. The beach is a quick 5-minute walk down some steep steps, but was clean and sandy. Dining: We had breakfast every day and the occasional lunch at the restaurant. Breakfast is focused on table sharing (just your table not with others) and an à la carte menu (with cereals and yoghurts available buffet-style), which was very smooth and well-managed. Lunch had a much wider selection and was always peaceful. Facilities: Other than the pool, small gym, spa, restaurant, and beach, overall facilities are on the limited side. It suited our style of trip perfectly, though it might be something to consider if you prefer a full-service resort with constant activities."
