Palia Hotel Dolce Farniente

Stayed in June 2025 and loved it so much I returned for 9 nights in June 2026. Firstly, I had emailed to request a specific block as it was near the main pool. Unfortunately couldn’t have that for a few nights but I thought ‘ no problem’ However, I was placed in block 6. Beautiful rooms as always but backing onto a karaoke bar that was very noisy! I think they have regular issues with this and I was not happy…thankfully I got moved to my preferred block after 3 nights. Not ideal to have to move during the holiday but I tried to make the most of it. All staff worked hard to sort this…Thank you to Hamid and the operations manager Abram for listening and sorting it out. Having said all that, I love this hotel!! Staff in reception and the restaurant were lovely. The entertainment girls…Coco, Tata and Angel…thank you for your kindness and the workouts!! The lovely guys on the bar…especially my lovely Bonio ❤️❤️ Yes there are many french holidaymakers but they were friendly and chatty, and more English this year. But people from all over which was nice to hear different languages. The food…always lots of choice! Maybe I’m not fussy but I enjoyed every meal. Lots of all inclusive drinks if you don’t care about brands (I don’t) and some fantastic shows (the flamenco was incredible 💃🏻) The rooms are all renovated to a nice standard, although the air con in my second room wasn’t great but the ceiling fan was enough for me and you soon acclimatise. All in all there was a reason I returned. The hotel is set out beautifully with pretty buildings and immaculate gardens. Enough pools to suit everyone and close enough to 2 nice coves/beaches, and plenty of shops and bars, but not so crowded as Cala d’or centre. I’ll be back next year for sure!! ❤️❤️

I absolutely do not understand the positive reviews for this hotel; my partner, our teenager, and I stayed for 10 days, and unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. The food was of poor quality, with meals that were not very varied (always the same dishes) and unappetizing. The drinks were very disappointing, both in their quality and their taste. The housekeeping service also leaves something to be desired. On several occasions, we had to go to the front desk to report this issue, which should never happen in a hotel of this category. The concerning point also remains the presence of cockroaches in our room, which raises serious questions about the establishment's hygiene. Our stay did not meet our expectations, which is regrettable given the price we paid. We definitely do not recommend this hotel.

The happy couple expecting a baby thanks you for your very warm welcome. We enjoyed this stay at your hotel. Thank you Hamed
