Bring sturdy walking shoes and prepare for steep hills around the hotel and village centre.

Avoid rooms overlooking the building site, as construction can be noisy.

Request a sea-facing room and avoid rooms overlooking the bar or restaurant.

Use free street parking outside the hotel when available, but expect limited spaces and busy roadside parking.

Pre-book taxis and allow extra time because cabs can be scarce or delayed.

Walk to the nearby sandy cove, but arrive early because the small beach gets busy.

Choose a Romance Room for jacuzzi access, and consider the new building for an upgraded option.

Choose an Exclusive room for access to a private, separate pool area.

Request a top-floor room for a quieter stay, larger views, and better chances of seeing the sea.

Consider Gold Level only if you will use the hotel during the day; it includes access to the Bali Beds.

Try the excellent breakfast and arrive before 10:30, when the doors close and food is removed.

Bring USB chargers, a full-length mirror, warm sleepwear, and earplugs; rooms lack USB sockets and full-length mirrors, with thin bed covers.

Visit the beach bar at the cove, or walk ten minutes to Lila for beautiful views.

Pay extra for a balcony if you plan to relax at the hotel, and consider a corner room for a larger balcony.

Take a taxi to Portals Village or the marina when needed; the marina is also walkable.

Ask reception to book taxis, as they may cost less than Uber.

Consider booking bed and breakfast rather than a larger meal plan.

Choose the buffet dinner for a highly rated meal costing about one-third of Portals restaurants.

Bring a euro for the beach toilets.

Collect fresh pool towels when returning used ones so you have them for early-morning swims.
