Porto Bello Resort

This was my first time trying an all inclusive hotel. I don’t usually stay in hotels when I travel, but it was the only option this time, so I went for it. And I’m SO glad I did! We were on our summer holiday with extended family, and this turned out to be one of the most enjoyable hotels we’ve stayed in.

The food options were huge! There were main restaurants, ice cream and coffee bars, an all-day bar, and little drinks kiosks everywhere. The menu changed every day during our four-day stay, so there was always something new to try. And a 24 hour bar... all included!!! We got back from Land of Legends at around 1:30 a.m. on our last night and found a mini breakfast available in the main restaurant. Of course we had a late night snack 😂

If you’re like me and still want to wander off and try other food even though you’ve paid for all inclusive, there are plenty of restaurants just a short stroll away along the beach. The location was perfect for that.

The pool was great, and there’s a tunnel so you can go back and forth between the pool and the beach. The spa is free to use too :) You pay extra for treatments like the Turkish bath, of course. There’s also a little shop inside the hotel if you need anything. And when we left, they gave us a small keepsake gift, which was such a lovely surprise!

Our room was another huge surprise. It was massive and felt like a suite! We had a large living and sleeping area, a separate bedroom and a big bathroom. There were two TVs, and the minibar was restocked every day, even with wine and beer if you’re a drinker and feeling too lazy to go down to the bar 😉 Tea and coffee, robes, slippers... all the lovely little things you’d expect from a five star hotel room.

The hotel was well located for tour pickups too. I did realise that if we’d stayed in Belek or Lara, we might have been able to pop back to the hotel between tours instead of staying out for so long. But honestly, we had no issue with this location at all.

We had such a good time here!

Very good hotel with kind and helpful staff. Everything work smoothly, check in, check out. You can feel relaxed, there are allways free tables in restaurants, lounge or terrace. Rooms are OK and what is unique all have sea wiew. Food is tasty and in abundance and in a really wide varyaty. On Turkish nights local specialyties are served. In a hotel everything is clean, rooms, restaurants, pools. On the entertainment stage we catch quality shows from Soth African singers and Columbian dance group. For city center - old town you can use buses KL06, KL08. All in all it was a nice vacation.
