Portavadie Marina
We loved our stay in Portavadie. The outdoor infinity pool is excellent. We sayed in the lodge. Our room was spacious but a little bit tired looking. The corridor carpet leading to our room looked as though it had seen better days as did the sofa in our room. None of this was bad enough to put us off potentially returning to this resort, which is located in a beautiful setting. The service in the restaurant was excellent.

The food was okay. The indoor and outdoor pool was nice. The view from the spa was lovely but you are not aloud to take photos of the view as no phones aloud. Our room was nice enough but could probably do with updating. Staff in the restaurant and the lifeguards were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately I have to say that it was average and overpriced.

Disappointed with temperature of food. Had to ask on several occasions for served food to be warmer. Varying portion sizes amongst guests. Housekeeping needs to be sharpened.
