Pallas Hotel

I have left it a few days after returning to write my review as wanted to ensre it was not a knee jerk reaction. Visited the hotel Pallas with my husband and 2 older children (16 and 20). We have never been on an all inclusive holiday and so had done a lot of reading and investigating reviews. We wanted a smaller hotel and not one near the strip so the Pallas seemed ideal.I was aware before travelling that there would be a charge for the aircon and safe, so this was no shock, however they would not take the payment on a credit card which was a disappointment. We paid for the aircon and I am gald we did. We were allocated 2 rooms at the back of the hotel, the view was not brilliant, but I think we benefited in the long run. Pro's Hotel, clean and well maintained. Staff were awasome at all time, special mention to Anna who seems to work 24/7 and the 2 guys in the bar. Food, we had no complaints, something for each of us at all meals. Yes you could say it was a bit repetitive, but there was always something new to try. Location, far enough away from the strip to be quiet, but close enough to to be able to walk in 5/10 minutes and there are plenty of bars/restuarants to choose from. TUI rep, Danielle was there everyday and very very informative and helpful. WiFi, there was free wifi in reception, which my husband and I manahed with, but the kids paid for wifi which I think was 18 euros for the week. Entertainment and themes. Quiz night, bingo, bbq, karaoke and greek dancing Cons Not a lot really, the only thing I would say is we were expecting families and couple and we got a few, but 95% of the clients are groups of young adults, the majority of whom were polite, respectful and a pleasure to get to know. There was the odd idiot who really made a fool of themselves. The security guard was good at keeping them in check in the mornings as they were arriving home. I can honestly say they did not keep us awake (but then we were at the back of the hotel). I don't know what can be done We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Pallas and found it to be very relaxing. Would we go again, probably not, but thats because we have decided all inclusive is not for us, but I would recommend it.

Visited this hotel in July with my family and the hotel itself is very cosy and intimate. The family that runs and owns the hotel are lovely (and the owner, who is near 80-85, still comes in to work to make sure guests are comfortable). The two bar men are great, always super friendly and polite. The lady who works in the restaurant, Anna, works extremely hard and long hours... But always seems to have a smile on her face. The receptionists are lovely and always happy to help. The security guard was very polite with us... Understandably he is a bit cold when dealing with drunken teenagers/roudy groups but we found him very friendly and helpful, afterall his job is to keep everyone safe which is hard when people are so drunk. Our rooms were basic but clean and we had our beds made and cleaned every day... Fresh towels every second day and we paid 35 euros for the air con- which is a great investment as it was around 38 degrees during the day during our stay. We found the location decent,but you may want to rent a Scotter or quad if you're planning to explore the island or go to the beach during the days. The food was decent enough, but we eat mostly salads and healthier foods... But there was certainly something to eat for everyone no matter how fussy they are. The clientele was mostly club 18-25 so the pool area and night bar got quite noisy, but generally they were quite respectful,the security guard definitely helped to keep everyone calmer and quieter during the night. The pool area is good, plenty of sunbeds, lots of sun, on our last day the pool was a little dirty I think because people were going in with sun cream on but it got cleaned every night so not really sure why. The pool area could do with more rubbish bins,and would help out the pool guy at the end of the night. Overall a good stay at this hotel, the staff are the highlight of our stay.
