Just had to return to the Porto Mare hotel. This time I paid for a standard sea view room and once again I was most impressed with the size and quality of the room. On the third floor, my room had a lovely view of the gardens, with the sea to my right. It was nice to sit with a... More

We booked with Thomson for our Ruby Wedding Anniversary and were not disappointed! Start to finish - GREAT! We had b&b and bought a 5 evening dinner option (buffet) in the Atlantica restaurant for 23 euro per night, payable to hotel direct. A safe was used in the room, 10 euro (+ 20 deposit, refundadable).
