I will be back

I have stayed here many times and found the staff to be excellent. Large pool and great location for the bars and beach It is no 5 star hotel but you get value for money and a feeling of space as you walk around the grounds

Couple vacay

Me and my partner had over 2 weeks of vacation, staying at Palma rima, standard room and last few days bungalow. Its not a luxury hotel but was perfect for my taste with helpful charming staff, everyday cleaning, I like the pool area and the gym. Would absolutely come back.

A great way to spend a couple of weeks

Plenty of room to move around, spacious pool area with great bar and screens for watching the World Cup. Approachable management and friendly staff with a desire to help and assist you. So handy for the beach and all the amenities of Palma Rima road Lie by the huge pool with a cool drink and watch the palm trees sway in the breeze

The Bomb

I had a bad experience at another hotel. I loved Palma Rima. Staff was excellent. The room stayed clean, and the pool was great everyday.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The location of the Palma Rima is excellent and the bungalows are a good size and in nice grounds. The staff are all excellent particularly the reception staff and money exchange (safe) man (Buba Demba) and all of the security and cleaning/maintenance staff who we had most dealings with. The breakfast is not the best however with limited choice. We also never ate or drank in the hotel due to the cost.

Made me pay extra for aircon and a fridge around £80 for a week . Hotel staff brilliant, breakfast pretty average. Restaurant food prices ridiculous compared to local restaurant prices . Also had numerous issues with my partner bringing her friend in to the hotel for drinks .I wouldn’t stay there again

I absolutely hated this property and left a week early. Breakfast is limited and lacks variety. Poor and delayed response from management for an upgrade even though vacancies existed. Ground staff did their best. It took ages for my reservation to be sorted out when I arrived. Absolutely awful place.
