Editor's Review
An exceptional hospitality experience is the way to describe a stay at the Portola Plaza Hotel. The premium hotel is appointed in a residential style, with quaint shuttered windows and boutique furniture. The décor of the 370 spacious guest rooms and luxury suites is reflective of the proximity to the seaside and the natural charm of the area with local art adorning the walls. The atrium is tree-lined and the hotel has a fabulous spa attached. Delectable dining options abound. This superb abode is a great place to enjoy a romantic holiday.
