Small beach, but has a shower and wc. Very relax ambient until you meet the manager. Really unprofessional and unkind women. Totally ruined the experience that day for us. If they had a new manager i think this place can be one of the best on island.
The beach next to the hotel I stayed at was absolutely lovely. They offer sunbeds and parasols for rent at a cost of β¬13 per day, until you check out.
We came here July 2023. Nice enough small beach surrounded by "exclusive" hotels. Definitely not "senior friendly" as you have a short fairly steep hill and a number of stone steps to negotiate. It was extremely busy with children and adults. The main issue we had was that you cannot use ANY of the sunbeds on the beach unless you pre book the day before. They were also 40β¬ per person. Drinks etc from shop not bad cost wise. (You can use the less comfortable beds after 2pm if you're lucky enough to get one but will still have to pay the daily charge) If ur ok with a towel on a busy beach you will be happy with this beach. Probably quieter out of season of course. Just not for us!
This hotel is conveniently located close to the beach, away from the hustle and bustle of nightlife but still central. The food is great and the view of the sea is stunning. Although there were some questions about the cleanliness and odors in the hallway (perhaps due to our room being near a courtesy shower room), it was still a perfect spot for a peaceful week. Easy access to the beach makes it even better. We will definitely be returning!
Porto Novo beach is a great spot for those interested in viewing luxurious yachts and sailing boats. It is easily accessible and offers free parking from September 16th through April. There are a few shops and restaurants, although the atmosphere may be a bit calmer during the off-season. Overall, it is definitely worth a visit if you're in the area and enjoy boats.
