Palm Hotel & Spa

Very nice hotel, with 2 pools and jacuzzi. The food was delicious, rooms very clean and comfortable. Great ocean views. We had a rented car and made some excursions on the island, so this was a perfect place for relaxing after a day out and about.

Overall, the hotel is nice. The rooms are decent, the pool area is nice and also the other amenities like the gym is basic but very functional. Absolutely outstanding is the view over the beach and the sea, amazing sunset views and the area of the hotel is really a prime spot, as it is also very quiet and calm. Still, I cannot shake the feeling that the hotel is not truly a luxury hotel, despite having one of the highest rates on the island: - At breakfast, they serve instant coffee, which is not acceptable in a midscale hotel, not even to mention in a ‚luxury‘ hotel. This is cost-cutting at its worst. - Drinks are very expensive, which is ok. However, to then serve Aperol Spritz with Prosecco that apparently has been open for too long and was completely flat is borderline. - Beach towels are not replaced pro-actively, but we were told we need to bring them to the concierge to have them changed. If they are not in the room, you are threatened with a penalty of 40 Euro per towel. Honestly, in such a hotel I really don‘t want to care about basics like beach towels. So overall, the hotel is nice, but don‘t expect a real luxury experience.

Beautiful resort on a hill close to the beach. The rooms are very comfortable and clean. Food and drinks are from a very good standard. Lovely pools and relaxing areas. The pathway down to the beach is in a terrible state and overgrown. It needs to be attended and maintained.

It was one of my best hotel experience ever! Everything is amazing about this hotel: silent place, perfect service (they even change my mattress with a harder one upon my request!), great heated pool (made of black rock, with lights in the evening, just amazing!), fantastic view on the ocean (if you are lucky you can even observe the whales while enjoying your punch!). Amazing breakfast, plenty of choice, fresh fruits. Really, I do not have time and space to give a full list of things that are really great about this hotel, and the owner and the management fully deserve congratulations. One sole remark, still: when you are charging 300 eur for one night, I do not think you should charge 10 eur for a bucket of ice cubes...

mostly good areas that were good - service in all areas Bad limited dining venues, room towels

Beautiful property and great views out over the coast
