Think Kate may be a bit traumatized by her experience. We run the pool bar at portonovo and can assure everyone that if these events did take place it wasn't at portonovo in June 2009.

Lovely location, nice apartment, great bbq. But our apartment was robbed in the afternoon while having a lie down in bed. The apartment was robbed the next day while couple were in bed too, my hubby and friend chased the guy and found a knife and our wallets over the wall beside the complex. But overall had a nice holiday

I stayed here with a couple of friends last week and we had a fantastic time. The apartments are in a great location with views of the harbour and it's a really short walk to all the lovely restaurants in the Old Town, the New Town is a bit further to walk, it's actually easier to grab a taxi (they are really cheap). We usually spend sometime at the beach, but the pool area was so nice with plenty of sunbeds that we spent everyday there! The couple who ran the bar were lovely and made the holiday extra special. There was food served at the bar everyday, whcih was great and really reasonable (it was really really clean too!).

We stayed for a week at the Portonovo apartments at Easter. The apartment was spacious and clean, the pool area was quiet with plenty of sunbeds. The pool has a pool bar serving drinks and food all day, the couple running the bar were very pleasant and helpful. The apartment is located in a peaceful area in the Old Town, its a 2 minute walk into the centre of the Old Town and it's bars, restaurants and shops. The view from the balcony on a clear day is of the neighbouring island of Fuerteventura. The new town is about 10 minutes walk away but the Taxi's are cheap and convenient if you don't like walking too far. We will be visiting porto novo apartments later in the year and recommend them to anyone who wants a stress free holiday.

I went to Portonovo Apartments in Nov 06 through a private rental, normally people say yes it was great and I will go back again.I found these apartments to be perfect for location and perfect for families, trouble free and well run, also private with no tour reps, I did some home work on the apartments and complex and returned in Jan 07 for a week and bought an apartment there. I have had family package holidays from most major tour operators over the years and never had big reason to complain, but I found quality here which just needed personal touches to decor and furnishings and had to have one. How many holiday reviews say that!, try it at porto novo apartments you might do what I did and really enjoy it. I now get 3 holidays a year there at least and the satisfaction of repeat bookings and happy customers enjoying puerto del carmen for what it is an excellent resort for all ages

This holiday was brilliant, even the odd shower and a cool night haven't put us off going back, We are already looking at going back later in the year to the same apartment. The apartments are sited up a small incline and are just outside the old harbour where there are lots of lovely restaurants and a couple of bars overlooking the sea. This is a perfect spot if you want to be in a quieter position with great restaurants, but still able to walk into the nightlife/shops if you fancy a change The food at all of the restaurants we have tried (and that's nearly all of them) is fantastic. There is a really nice atmosphere at the harbour with locals playing boules and children playing ball in the square which you can watch from your chosen eatery. There are plenty of shops and restaurants, but we preferred the harbour as it had more charm/character. Portonovo apartments are very clean indeed, spacious and well furnished. They are well situated with great views of the sea and Fuerteventura, all round I couldnt find anything to complain about within the complex and apartment. Dont think you can get in these apartments through main tour operators as most are private now. Well worth a visit as we have not had quality like this on any package holiday, and it did work out cheaper. So personally I would ignore comments on Portonovo apts that are before 2007, massive improvements now. As for the weather we did have a few cloudy days and a few showers but this was early March so it was early in season, roll on september for our next tour.

We stopped here last week, apartments are basic but are in a very good position, around 5 minutes walk to the harbour.
