Porto Istana Vacation Packages

There was nothing not to like. Beautiful hotel and a wonderful stay.

The property was in a great location and it roughly takes 30 minutes to walk to the marina and around 15 minutes to the local restaurants (It’s 30 euros one way to the marina) The bathroom was very nice and modern, however, the bedroom was slightly dated and the mattress was not the most comfortable. Also the tv in the bedroom was not a smart tv and there were no English channels. If the bedrooms and TV were modernised I would stay here again.

Nice hotel, good sized rooms. Unfortunately some of its facilities were not operational such as the beach club, second (beachfront) restaurant). Air conditioning in the room did not work. Staff seemed functional but not particularly welcoming. Perhaps they felt it was the end of the season. Maybe they should fully function and then close rather than stay half open.

Location and beach was amazing. The room was clean and very nice, but the property was very dirty and some areas looks like a third world country. There is a wedding party that had a DJ with loudspeakers that went on until 2:30 in the morning. I at least would’ve expected them to have a 11 PM sound limit or something like that. The food was fine, but was only limited to one restaurant as the other ones needed to be booked ahead of time and the other two were closed for private events. There’s a hole in the fence and you can go to another restaurant at a different resort if you’re looking for different food options. I’m guessing this resort just needs more cleaning staff

For the price and what they claim, not worth the money. Rooms were meh, pool was shaded and definitely gave “quiet pool” vibes. No water was provided at all(none in the gym or lobby)Guests seemed very pretentious (for no reason). There was a long list of “rules” upon check in, including that you couldn’t bring any outside food or drinks to your room. The private beach was beautiful and the chaise lounge chairs/towels were nice. On our first day, the beach attendant offered us a bottle of prosecco for 150.00 Euro. After we said no, he came back and said he could do it for 50.00. Didn’t expect negotiations on the beach menu. We would definitely chose a different resort next time.
