Just returned from a wonderful stay at Porto Carras and thought it was worth sharing our all inclusive experience. Hotel is set in the most beautiful setting  the Marina is very picturesque and is the perfect place for a stroll in the evening. We paid £59 extra at booking for a marina view at booking through Jet2 and thought it was worth it.  Although the pool/sea view all looked great as well. From the moment we arrived all staff where friendly and really helpful.  We were initially given a sheet for All inclusive at check which gave details of the bar/restaurant opening times etc that we could use (attached picture) but feel that it would have been good to have a copy of the drinks menu and perhaps the restaurant menus at that  stage which would have made it a little easier to know what was available to us, to make decisions about what days to book which place. As advertised, if going for a week, you can book into 3 restaurants separate to the buffet restaurant. 1.  Pefko Seaside Restaurant This is a lovely restaurant set in between the pools and beach.  We decided to go on Thursday as this was the Greek night.  It was buffet style food, and had singers and greek dancing.  We had a wonderful night and can recommend for something a bit different. Beautiful setting. 2.  News Cafe Restaurant is inside close to reception and has an indoor area as well as outdoor seating. We were given an All Inc. menu that had a number of starter/main choices.  Food and service were excellent, although your choice was limited to starter, main, and sweet, so you aren't able to have a salad with your meal as it was either starter or salad choice. Which we thought was strange on an All Inc.. 3.  Marina Piazza This is the 3rd restaurant, but it is available to us use as a bar for a drink until 11:30 so we went on a few occasions for a change of scenery. Our booked meal had lovely food, and staff were really welcoming and friendly, especially Vangelis. The other nights we went to the main restaurant and all 4 of us loved the food. Whilst we were there, they had Greek, Italian, Asian, Seafood, Mexican nights, all with great tasting food. On those nights, they did have regular dishes as well. This restaurant has a number of outside veranda's, so you could sit in a different spot and feel like you were eating in a different place. Pros 1. Beautiful pools and beaches. 2. Perfect views 3. Fabulous food 5. Lovely rooms, very clean 6. Wonderful staff 7. Lots of beach staff always available to order drinks. 8. Boat trip across to town €4 each way Cons 1. Long transfer 2hrs 20 mins both ways. 2. We felt it wasn't quite All Inclusive, as there were some areas just not available to us unless paying extra. Also restricted menus at the other restaurants 3. A bottle of wine on your table would have been nice in the evening rather than keep asking for glasses. Also limited choice of wine in main restaurant. 4. Drinks sometimes didn't seem the same if paying. Eg
