Palm Hotel

Very modern and stylish hotel. Rooms are decent size and balcony are too. We were on floor 2 and free wifi was sometimes very slow but mostly was a decent speed. Food was ok and swimming pool was good sized. Staff were very friendly and cleaners were there every day (unless you put on do not disturb sign). Perfect location, right next to beach and town centre. Also beautiful views if in a sea view room.

Going to be very honest about the hotel, and the general consensus of most guests we spoke to during our time at the hotel, the location is quiet good and close to many amenities, the staff are not very pleasant to be around or helpful, you can feel tense at the poolside or at breakfast being watched closely, food is very poor with minimal options and no proper chef, you are not permitted to do grocery shopping and bring it back to your room or the poolside, we were even asked to not bring our own water back to the hotel that we should buy it there which was baffling as their was very limited food and drink options,I don’t think they understand the British/Irish culture abroad and it really shows, the facilities advertised are mostly not available ie. No gym, sauna, steamroom, Turkish bath, jacuzzi, no Wi-Fi in the rooms and limited Wi-Fi in the reception, no dinner option, and definitely not disable friendly. The wooden elevator which you must open and close manually also makes the hotel feel very dated and musty. The pool is small but very clean and has limited sunloungers. The cleaning staff were friendly and helpful doing a great job keeping the place clean aswell as the doorman who tried his best but we could see they struggled due to the lack of facilities. The rooms were very small and we found that our luggage took up most of the floor space although the air conditioning was good and balcony was nice and clean. Just don’t expect a free safe for your belongings you must pay 3€ a day.All in all I would avoid the hotel at all costs, this place is stuck in the past and needs to be updated in most areas fast or it will gain a terrible reputation, this review is completely honest and 100% our experience at the hotel, hotels elsewhere for even less are much nicer, I think the place has great potential but really need some new staff, new facilities and some restoration works in the rooms and hallways and it could be a nice hotel just not right now as of July 2023.
