The hype
Great location and spacious rooms, but the food and noise levels leave a lot to be desired.
Port Europa
$60-$120/ notte
Prenota se You want a budget-friendly, beachfront aparthotel with massive balconies and don't mind basic amenities and dated decor.
Perché piace così tanto
- Unbeatable location right on the beachfront promenade
- Spacious rooms with huge balconies overlooking the sea or salt flats
- Excellent value for money, especially for families
In sintesi: It's a fantastic location with killer views, but the food is mediocre, the walls are paper-thin, and you'll be paying extra for basic comforts like parking.
Recensito da @libby.tee: My stay at Port Europa was unforgettable. Having my morning coffee on that terrace while looking out at the endless blue ocean and the Peñón de Ifach was the highlight of my trip. It's the perfect spot if you just want to relax and soak in the Spanish coast.

Suggerimenti degli Insider
- ✨
Skip the hotel's buffet dinner and walk 10 minutes to the Old Town or the port for incredible, fresh seafood.
- ✨
If you're staying longer than a few days, buy a cheap beach chair and umbrella from a local shop instead of renting them daily.
- ✨
Ask for a room facing the salt flats (Las Salinas) instead of the sea—you get a stunning view of the pink flamingos and it's generally quieter.
5 cose da sapere prima di partire
💡The walk from the parking lot to the hotel is strangely routed—you have to walk all the way around the building to get in.
💡The 'kitchens' in the apartments don't even have a kettle for boiling water.
💡The living room furniture in the apartments is noticeably older and more worn than the renovated bedrooms and bathrooms.
💡Drinks are not included with the half-board dinner—you'll have to pay extra for water, soft drinks, or wine.
💡The hotel's air conditioning units double as heating in the winter, but they are notoriously loud.
