We absolutely LOVED Portocolm and Elena's apartment. The location is FANTASTIC! You are not right in the middle of town but close enough to walk to restaurants and a convenience store. The local cafe (filled with locals!) is around the corner. The apartment was very spacious for 2 and definitely sleeps more comfortably. The beaches are beautiful - crystal clear blue, clean and you can rent a Palapa w/2 chairs for 12 Euro (July). We spent most days beginning with breakfast on the patio w/the view of the water, then going to the market picking up lunch and driving to the beach. After the beach you can easily walk to great restaurants. There is an Italian restaurant w/delicious pizza and home made pastas and a romantic patio just a few blocks from the apartment. We highly recommend it. You must have a car to get to Elena's from the airport and if you want to sight see. We spent so much time relaxing and enjoying the beach that we MUST come back to Portocolm (shucks!)to see more of the island.
