Hi! Palmanova Hotel

Location good, 6 minutes from the front. Atmosphere was friendly. Decor was dated but clean. Bar area was an extension of reception, and did not have much atmosphere. Rooms were functional, dated but clean. No kettle. Room aircon was not amazing but sufficient. Snack bar served via self-service buffet until around 6.30pm. This included pizza, burgers, hotdogs and simple salads. Bar drinks for all inclusive included usual drinks, with some simple cocktails (mostly mixers and fruit juice). Evening entertainment did not hold our interest but not terrible. Pool was small. Plenty of sun loungers and room. Restaurant food was reasonably good for all meals. As with small all inclusives, food can start feel a bit repetitive. Would visit again.

The hotel was very great. There was a large selection at the buffet, the pool was super, and above all, the entertainment was really great. There was a pre-show and a show every evening, which were a lot of fun. The staff was very lovely, especially Naiara, Jessica, and Andrea, who are responsible for the entertainment. There was a snack room that also had fresh food. The only downside was that there was hardly any internet in the room, which was not so great, since it was not always good downstairs in the lobby either. Overall, however, we really enjoyed our time there and would come back again.

➕ PROS ➕ The rooms were cleaned every day. ➕ Fresh towels every day. ➕ Friendly and helpful staff. ➕ The staff was always happy to help with trips or transportation. ➕ A great selection of drinks at the bar. ➕ Snacks were available by the pool during the day – pizza, toasties, hot dogs, burgers, meat, desserts, sweets, vegetables, etc. ➕ Great location – close to the sea, shops and restaurants. ➕ Late check-out available for an extra fee. ➕ The hotel is suitable for undemanding guests who mainly need a place to sleep. ➖ CONS ➖ For the price, I expected a higher standard of the hotel. ➖ The hotel looks rather old and worn. ➖ In some places, it felt as if things had been repaired or handled in a DIY manner. ➖ The dining area often had uneven floors, which caused the tables to wobble. ➖ Because some tables were tilted, drinks occasionally spilled. ➖ The bed consisted of two separate beds that kept moving apart during the night. ➖ There was no regular bin in the room, only a small bin in the bathroom. ➖ The food was often repetitive and after a few days there was not enough variety. ➖ The pool was open only until 6:00 PM, which felt unnecessarily early. ➖ The room key card often stopped working. ➖ Overall, the hotel feels more like an older 3-star hotel than a higher-category hotel. 🏨 OVERALL Overall, I would rate the hotel as average and more suitable for simply having a place to sleep. If you spend most of your time on trips or at the beach, it is manageable. However, if you expect a nice, modern hotel with facilities matching the price, I would recommend looking for another option. Overall rating: ⭐⭐⭐/5
