About Exe Portals Nous
Exe Portals Nous is a romantic, mid-range stay in Majorca’s Calvia area, with the easygoing feel of a smaller hotel rather than a sprawling resort. Guests’ stays tend to revolve around unhurried pool time, a drink at the bar and, for some rooms, a balcony looking out towards the water. It is a sensible choice for couples, as well as mother-and-daughter breaks seeking a relaxed base.
Set in Portals Nous, the hotel puts guests within reach of Palma for a city outing while keeping them in a quieter coastal setting. Do note the local terrain: the route back can involve a noticeable incline, so it may not be ideal for anyone with limited mobility. Pool towels and loungers are useful practical touches for days spent close to home.
Guest comments often bring up the welcoming breakfast team and individual staff members, including Mariana, alongside the efforts of the housekeeping crew. Breakfast is noted for having a broad selection, while views and outdoor space add to the appeal. A few practical details, such as the bathroom sink and the uphill approach, are worth keeping in mind when choosing the hotel.
