wonderful hotel deserving all 5 stars, great food, friendly staff and well laid out with plenty of sun loungers. The kids pool was right on the beach with a great waterslide and playground next door.I wouldn't leave my child in the kids club though as the little building where they hold it opens out to the poolside and the reps didn't seem too vigilant and not all spoke english. There was a real mixture of Italian,german,french and english staying there.The entertainment does seem to cover all launguages although the only evening entertainment is in the outdoor theatre where there is no bar. All in all a very nice hotel and one which I would stay in again, the number of steps was not a problem for us as there are ramps around the hotel anyway.

The portobello Royal was a very clean hotel, the cleaners where cleaning from morning till night. This hotel was a fairly new hotel with a good loo system i.e you can flush the paper down the loo. (no need for the tissue to got in the bin.
The water was ok to drink as it is filtered. The food was excellent, a good variety, especially the pizza's. Restaurant staff were friendly and welcoming. We did not venture from the hotel. But I believe the hotel has it's own free bus sevice to and from kardamena ending at 9.15pm.
Expect the bar staff in kardamena to try and get you into there bar's to drink. The hotel has it's own lovely beach with it's own beach bar, very pleasant.
The hotel games staff were very nice, always asking if you wanted to join in. But we thought the evening entertainment was too far from the hotel (outside), also with no bar.
There are four other restaurant's (Italian, asian, fish, taverna) we never tried any but we were told the asian was just ok. There is a french ala,cart which we were told was not cheap.
Yes we would definetly go again as it is such a nice complex, all the pool's are great, no rush for bed's, they supply clean beach towels daily from the gym once you have left a 20 euro each returnable deposit at the reception.
Our only grumble was the miserable barman at the pool bar in the evening, who was not friendly even though we were contiuously polite to him, everyone said the same. We never saw much of the rep, think she was there half hour a day.
We were told only by two couples that an island visiting boat trip, restaurant meal included (no drink's on boat) Even if your sea sick, you pay 2 euro's for the water. Trip was not to there liking.
