Palia Las Palomas

Due to the heat, I decided to book two nights at the coast, all inclusive with a nice swimming pool. I decided to choose this hotel as it seemed to provide this. Unfortunately it was the worst hotel experience I have ever had, and sadly I left this hotel in dire need of relaxation and sleep, which was the very purpose of me visiting the hotel in the first place. I arrived the first day and everything was fine. The pool was really good, the staff friendly, and food as would be expected for hotels such as this. But the night. What a nightmare. My room was at the side of the road. The road is busy all night, and as it's built up on all sides, any noise echoes. And there was so much noise. Young people racing their cars, revving engines, screeching tyres. The sound proofing is almost none existent and it feels like you're sleeping on top of a racetrack. That first night I slept a few hours only. It meant the next day I was totally exhausted. I visited the pool once again, but managed to eat very little. I was too tired. At 5PM I just couldn't stay active so went back to my room for a siesta. I found it impossible. And on top of the traffic, a crazy man was on the street screaming for two entire hours, I could hear him even over the TV. I tried to eat dinner then, but did not eat much. I was looking forward to the fireworks too, but truthfully did not have the energy I was exhausted, so went back to my room instead. I managed to sleep finally at 02.30 only to be woken up one hour later by the sound of slamming doors. Once awake I was kept awake by a person having a telephone conversation on the balcony, and then more car racing, and music blasting out of cars during the night. I cannot blame the hotel for noises made on the street or by other customers, I understand. But the proximity of the room to the road, being right next to it, and the lack of sound proofing, caused me to have a horrible time. On top of this I paid all inclusive for no reason, as on the second day I barely ate or drank anything. I did not even manage to finish my coffee the second night. All of this due to exhaustion caused by being unable to sleep. It is a shame, I can definately imagine rating this 4 stars if I had a room somewhere else in the hotel away from the street.

Very hard to review as we went on the first day of the re opening of the hotel so things were very different. Lovely hotel, staff very helpful even tho they spoke very little English. Meals were not the best, alot of it was Luke warm and not alot for vegetarians and asking staff if there was meat in was hard as they didn't understand. Pool area was lovely, kept lovely and clean along with our room that was kept clean everyday. Not alot of entertainment due to Corona virus so alot had been cancelled but what there was, was very good. The evening with fire entertainment was excellent and I really enjoyed the spanish singer. Close to the beach and all the shops all the shore, open late so was lovely to walk along with great atmosphere. Overall good week, only let down was the food.

My family and I had a lovely all inclusive week at Hotel Palia Las Palomas. The staff were so welcoming and friendly and genuinely happy that you were there. Although we went during COVID we still had a great time. The food was tasty with the option to try different cuisine on theme nights. The beach is a small walk away with a beautiful marina at the end of the long promenade. The evening entertainment was enjoyable especially the fire show as everybody watched in amazement. The fire show is performed by the kindest staff member Douzie, he is a credit to the hotel as he would go above and beyond what was expected. A few other staff members (Mario and Javier) were also lovely in the restaurant and the bar as they would wave and acknowledged my 1 year old son who in the end started saying hola to them while waving. It was a shame we went during COVID as although we had a fantastic time, the hotel does offer more that we were unable to do such as a games room and soft play area. Lovely pool, clean rooms, friendly staff beautiful location and great food - what more do you want.
