PortoBay Santa Maria - Adults Only

Everything, the food, staff, facilities and hotel were all excellent

Happy hour was only at the inside bar and not the pool bar. The outside pool was a bit cold for me

Great location on the seafront, very comfortable, lovely and quiet, fabulous breakfasts

Nothing, it was great!

I had such a wonderful stay at this hotel and truly appreciated all the thoughtful touches that made my visit so special. The hotel is in a fantastic location, and I was very lucky to receive an upgrade to a beautiful sea-view room. The room was absolutely lovely, and having sun beds right outside made it even more relaxing and enjoyable. What touched me most was how the hotel made my birthday feel so special. I had mentioned before my stay that I would be celebrating my birthday there, and during breakfast the staff arranged a lovely little surprise for me. Everyone was so warm and welcoming and wished me a happy birthday, which genuinely meant a lot. I was also surprised with a bottle of wine delivered directly to my room as a gift—such a thoughtful gesture! The facilities were excellent as well. I really enjoyed the outdoor pools, the indoor pool, as well as the rooftop pool. I also loved the concept of the Honesty Bar, which was a really nice and unique touch. Breakfast was exceptional, with a great selection of both hot and cold dishes and plenty of choices to enjoy. Overall, I had a fantastic stay and came away with such lovely memories. A very special thank you to all the hotel staff for their kindness, hospitality, and thoughtful attention. You made my birthday truly unforgettable, and I’m incredibly grateful!

The wifi in the room was a bit slow. It would be good to prepare some Plug-in Mosquito Killer in the room, as I got bite for a few times.

Location is amazing and so are the staff, however if you’re under 60 don’t stay here.

No music around the pool area, no drinking in or around the pool or jacuzzis ( even with plastic cups ) gym is very basic and prices around the pool are inflated compared to other marine venues along the coast.
