Palmera Beach Hotel was beautiful, clean and stylish. We had a problem with our first room, due to my disability, but the manager went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. The room we got was amazing, we had a rooftop balcony, mountain views, it was clean, tidy and fresh. The jacuzzi on the balcony was amazing. All the staff at the hotel were polite, kind and very helpful, especially Mr Nikos in the restaurant, he made our mealtime experiences brilliant, he always made us smile. Food was well varied and always of good quality, we ate well every day, there were plenty of drink options. The garden with the sunlougers was very beautiful and was a nice place to ay in the sun and relax. We had the best stay there and would definitely go back there.
