Smy Portocolom - Renovated 2026

Everything was modern and clean. Had an amazing view of the water with the boats docked. Staff were lovely and helpful.

We stayed on the 6th floor so if we wanted to have an early night you were able to hear people upstairs on the rooftop having drinks and dinner late but after 11pm it was no problem.

I love the renovated hotel. It’s honestly a beautiful place. Highly recommend. My only complaint was the A/C wasn’t that great. That could be improved.

Rooftop bar was amazing. Drinks were great. Dinner and desserts can be improved.

Everything. Newly renovated. Amazing roof terrace/bar for sunset views.

The location is quite good — a pleasant little town with a lovely seaside promenade nearby and beautiful views. We had breakfast and dinner included in our stay. The food was tasty and relatively varied. However, unfortunately, after the first 1–1.5 hours of service, many items would run out and were not replenished, which was disappointing. The room itself was nice — small and cozy, with a balcony overlooking palm trees. Cleaning was done daily, which we appreciated.

The biggest downside of our stay was the noise. Sadly, we didn’t get a good night’s sleep even once. If you are sensitive to noise, be prepared to sleep no more than from 1:00–1:30 AM until around 7:00 AM. The walls and windows provided no sound insulation at all. You could clearly hear neighbors talking, using the bathroom, or even being intimate. The bathroom ventilation was nonexistent, which made it very uncomfortable - at times, we had to leave the room for an hour just to cope. There was also a noisy bar right below our window, where people kept partying loudly even after it officially closed. But the most frustrating part was the behavior of the cleaning staff. Every morning at exactly 7:00 AM, they would start making noise in the hallways — dropping things, loudly filling water buckets, pushing metal carts, and talking as if nobody was sleeping around them. So, if you're considering this hotel for a relaxing vacation, be warned: you probably won’t get any rest here. One final disappointment: guests were not allowed to eat outside on the beautiful first-floor terrace with sea views. All meals had to be taken indoors, where the temperature was around 30°C, making dining quite uncomfortable.
