Club Portinatx

The tasting menu at the beach bar/restaurant was our favorite meal, and I’d definitely book it. The buffet was just okay, nothing special, though it helped to go as service started. We liked the separate adult and kids pools, with the kids pool actually being the larger of the two. There were activities through the day for people who don’t just want to sunbathe, like paddle boarding, rifle shooting and football. All-inclusive covered a good range of drinks, including most cocktails and spirits. The rooms were great, the views were stunning, and the private beach was a nice bonus, though watch for jellyfish. I’d stay again.

We spent most of our time out exploring the island, but still had a really enjoyable stay here. The hotel offers a lot to do and has a spacious complex, plus a small private beach and a very good breakfast. Our ocean-view room was a highlight when we arrived. The bathrooms are small, and the hotel can feel busy, especially with families, but the friendly staff and the good value for money made it a great choice.

The buffet restaurant handled a large number of guests well, with lots of choices that changed from day to day and excellent service throughout. The hotel itself is well maintained and has a small private beach, plus adult-only areas at the bar and a little pool. Families seem to like it, perhaps because the medium-sized pool is unheated, has a gentle shallow end and has fun features for kids to jump from. Bedrooms are a reasonable size, air-conditioned, clean and tidy, with comfortable beds and clean bathrooms with a shower and hairdryer. Most, maybe all, have a small private balcony facing the sea, though nearby three-storey buildings may block the view from lower floors. At this price I didn’t find much to complain about. There could be more staff at the bar by the main pool at busy times, better buffet warmers to keep food hot, more outdoor non-smoking areas, and the car park surface needs fixing.

The sea view and private beach are lovely, and the hotel’s setting is breathtaking. The hotel itself is good, but it feels short on quality and better suited to people who care more about quantity. There were lots of small children, which made the restaurant very busy. An adults-only area might sound like a quiet spot, but they clear dishes and cutlery in that same room, so it wasn’t peaceful there.
