Lodge room was very comfortable, clean. Bit of a walk to get to restaurant from it if you want to have a drink first or have mobility issues. But top marks to hotel reception they organised a pick up from room & back when finished by a very pleasant & helpful young man called Pete. Only issue was my steak at dinner, it wasn't good & don't think it was rump either as said on menu Other than that food very good

Pleasant stay but not luxury.
Enjoyable stay at Portavadie. Lodge room was spacious and clean. It was chilly at times and there was no way to increase the room temperature. There was an out of service toilet adjacent to our room which was smelly and detracted from our experience. It was a fairly long walk (or drive) from the reception and the restaurant to our room and further still to the swimming pool and spa. The restaurant was good for both dinner and breakfast and the staff were very pleasant. I was not impressed by a member of staff at the reception desk at the spa/pool who ignored us for 2 minutes as they processed something on their PC. A ‘hello, I will be with you in a minute’ would have sufficed. The heated outdoor infinity pool was lovely given the views it offers. Overall a pleasant stay but not a luxury experience and not great value for money.

Sadly we were unable to enjoy the break as much as we would have liked. Absolutely nothing to do with the resort. Quite the opposite! I unfortunately took unwell. Peter, the First Aider could not have been more attentive and dialled 999. He stayed with me until the Paramedics arrived. I was Blue lighted back down to Dunoon and kept in overnight. Once I had seen the doctor again the following morning and released from hospital. Portavadie sent Josh, a duty manager the 1.5 hours down to pick up me and my wife and return us to the resort. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced such care anywhere else in the past.

Fantastic stay in Portavadie for our anniversary. The lodge rooms were clean, spacious and comfortable. Food in the Marina Restaurant was lovely and staff were warm and friendly. Spa facilities were an added bonus, we loved the outdoor infinity pool with stunning scenery. There was a card and chocolates in our room wishing us a happy anniversary. We thought this was a lovely touch and we would recommend and stay again.

Portavadie Marina
We loved our stay in Portavadie. The outdoor infinity pool is excellent. We sayed in the lodge. Our room was spacious but a little bit tired looking. The corridor carpet leading to our room looked as though it had seen better days as did the sofa in our room. None of this was bad enough to put us off potentially returning to this resort, which is located in a beautiful setting. The service in the restaurant was excellent.

Beautiful views in the marina and from the heated outdoor pools. Good walks around, challenging cycling. The marina restaurant serves top quality food, we had no need to try elsewhere.

The food was okay. The indoor and outdoor pool was nice. The view from the spa was lovely but you are not aloud to take photos of the view as no phones aloud. Our room was nice enough but could probably do with updating. Staff in the restaurant and the lifeguards were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately I have to say that it was average and overpriced.
