A glamorous trio of hotels the Suite Hotel Eden Mar, the Hotel Porto Mare and the grandly named Residence - makes up the Vila Porto Mare Resort. The properties sit side by side on the seafront and share their facilities, bringing together four restaurants, five bars and pools, as well as a spa and an array of sports.

sofas, a dining table and a DVD player with surround sound. Plus the handy kitchenettes are kitted out with extras like dishwashers and toasters.

Rooms have 2 or 3 beds and the 3rd bed is a pull-out bed. Cot space is not available when rooms are fully occupied.
