I had a brilliant experience at this hotel, the reviews on here from some people are unbelievable! You get what you pay for. It's not amazing inside the rooms and of course not necessarily the ritz but what do you expect! Lovely pool and location, the Europa centre is suited to all ages. Service great. Not an extremely lively area... More

On arrival as per previous stories we was "offered" an upgrade at a "discount". Basically on arrival I believe everyone goes through this process....they are clearly trying to get more money by showing you the worst room in the hotel as the "standard" room ( drive way view in shaded area and smelt damp ) the standard room had the...

Stayed here in early May with my girlfriend. Transfers from airport took approx 90 minutes. When we arrived into reception we were relieved that it was even better than the pictures showed. The view from the hotel is second to none. Our room was also very clean and had everything we needed. No plug on the counter top where the... More

I agree with the awful pillows! We were given a promo room on the third floor with a fantastic view of the pool & beach. Room was clean & comfortable. There were no parasols around the pool so i asked at reception as i was having to move my 5yr old son out of direct sunlight all the time and... More

Very clean in the apartment, the fridge was actually... More

Just back from break there on the 27th April 2013 - For the record we have stayed here for the past 4 years straight primarily for the view and location yet despite paying for the most expensive sea view option on Lowcostholidays.com who we have always used and despite always being put in foors 4 or 5 this time we...

Just got back from our stay at Palmera Mar apartments (Apr 20th-25th 2013) & glad we took the upgrade for an exception view & lush suntrap. (from 3rd floor) I have to agree about the worn out pillows & think a fan or air con in the rooms would be a fantastic feature but the negatives end there! Fantastic, polite... More
