The Roc Portonova Apartamentos are in a great location. Over looking Palma Nova boat club/Palma Nova bay. There is an outdoor and an indoor pool.
The buildings works are still continuing in some of the apartments. Our room, large in size, a 2 bedroom apartment but it is very dated. This room provides a wonderful view of the bay, but you need to look past the very large rooftop first of all. The room had a horrible, spilt milk smell to it and the locks/security are insufficient. It is important to note, some of these apartments are residential/privately owned. We were not aware of this.
On arrival, we were told we had to pay a refundable deposit, this was the first we had heard of this. There was no other communication re our stay - at all. No information on WIFI, Bar opening times, entertainment, house keeping - nothing.
We were on a short break, house-keeping did not visit our apartment once in our 3 nights. The pillows provided were very high/hard. We enquired about moving room, we looked at another apartment, this too was an older style, looking out onto an abandoned building.
On our last morning, we had breakfast at the bar/poop area. It was a lovely breakfast and included cooked breakfast/fruits/pastries/tea, coffee/juices.
The beach is right on your doorstep, there are supermarkets, bars/restaurants all within walking distance. The apartment has cooking facilities, including a microwave, iron/board.
