Explore the Monterey Bay
The Portola Hotel & Spa, located in Monterey along the coast of Central California is known as one of the region’s most family-friendly hotels. Just a stone’s throw away from the coastline, the Monterey Bay is the ultimate destination for endless family fun! With a bevy of outdoor activities, complemented by the amazing Monterey Bay Aquarium and a treasure trove of nearby landmarks full of history and coastal flair, kiddos of all ages will be wooed by endless adventures!
Upon checking in to your nautically inspired guest room at the Portola – the fun already begins! Not only are all of the Portola guests greeted 
with a warm, homemade chocolate chip cookie, but young explorers between the ages of 3 and 12 are invited to take part in our Portola Pirates Program. This FREE activity includes a pirate-themed goodie bag full of toys and activities including: pirate coins, temporary tattoos and more! Through interactive activities, kids (and their parents) will learn about Monterey’s rich maritime history and have the opportunity to view our collection of antique model ships located throughout the hotel, as well as historic memorabilia and photographs from days gone by! Once your pirates have worked up an appetite, the Portola’s very own Jacks Restaurant and Peter B’s Brewpub featured themed-menu with swashbuckling dishes even the pickiest of pirates will love! Plus, kiddos age five and under eat free at Jacks and Peter B’s throughout your entire stay.
So if you’re looking for tons of fun (and a little euphoria day spa time for Mom), then look no further than Monterey’s very own, Portola Hotel & Spa.
