BG Portinatx Beach Club Hotel

I give this hotel 5 stars for its exceptional value for money and friendly personnel. Our ocean-view room on arrival was a highlight. The spacious complex offers a wide range of enjoyable amenities and activities. They also have a small private beach and excellent breakfast. Despite small bathrooms and hotel busyness, especially with families, it was a great choice. I must say we spent most of our time exploring the island but we really enjoyed our stay!

The best part about the hotel is the private beach. It is surrounded by cliffs and is distant from other beaches so it is quiet. The water is very clear, calm and warm. The beach is relatively small but very pretty. It has spots in the sun and shade. The only downside is that there are rocky parts on the beach and in the water. The hotel has a lot of stairs, so be prepared for that. There is an adult only area in the dining hall and a little adult only pool area. The main pool could get crowded during peak hours but empties towards the evening and it has different depths. There is an area with deck chairs and a whirlpool. During my visit the whirlpool was mostly empty but I can imagine one whirlpool to be too little for the demand during the main season. The rooms are spacious but the design of the bathroom is a bit cramped, specifically the area between the toilet and the shower. The A/C works well but there is a sewage smell coming out of it. I got a room with a sea view and it was fantastic; the room is at the perfect height to get a beautiful view of the sea and the sun is illuminating room in the morning to wake you up. I booked a half board deal, so I can only speak about breakfast and dinner. To sum it up the food is ok. It lacks a bit in variety and choice so I was having pretty much the same food everyday. Next I will list a few instances of my meals experiences. The cheeses are very delicious, there is a good choice of pastry which varies in quality and taste, you get freshly fried eggs and chicken pieces, the black tea is not tasting good (pretty bland and grassy), there are sometimes little bowls of salads which are very convenient, the pizza I tried was very dry and was lacking taste, there are multiple sauces and the tartar one is pretty good. Sometimes the food was not labeled but the friendly staff could quickly answer all my questions. The hotel is clean in general but I saw a few cockroaches in the evenings, luckily not inside my room. All the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Nice hotel, great rooms, stunning view and nice to have the private beach (keep an eye out for jellyfish). Activities throughout the day for those who don't just want to sunbathe (Paddle boarding, rifle shooting, football etc.) All inclusive included a good range of drinks including majority of cocktails and spirits. Buffet food was okay, nothing spectacular. Better to go when service starts. Having the adult pool and the kids pool was a nice touch (kids pool being the bigger one out of the two). Would definitely recommend booking the tasting menu at the beach bar/restaurant as this was our favourite meal during our stay. Would definitely stay here again!
