Arrived late evening and were shocked to find that our "room", if you can call it that!", was in Sahara...one of 3 buildings off the site and down a couple of streets!! Not what we were expecting at all, no mention of this when we booked! To make matters worse, the room was... more

We arrived believing theres a soft play area for kids, but instead it was derelict. We asked why this is but they had no answer. Overall the place was good for the price you pay. The only other issue we had was the amount of elderley Spanish people there as they have no manners whatsoever.

It was our first Pensionista Vacacion and a very good one. The hotel was very welcoming, a typical Spanish hotel where the staff tried their hardest to please every guest to make them feel special. The Reception was always on hand to help and give advice whether it be... more

Hotel good, needs more child free zones
Nice 3 day break, more could be done for the adults in the evening to many kids after 9pm,in the main outdoor bar area. Would have been nice to have a child free bar for the grown ups. As there is a swimming pool for adults. Food/drinks good, reception staff where great.Accomodation was clean,though a little on the small side.
Whats to complain about
Cant see what people have to complain about .We went to the Palma Bay Hotel at the end of May, the rooms were a bit small but spotless ,you only have to sleep in them, what do you need .(we were in the Hawaii block dont know what the other rooms were like .There was entertainment on every night and day .The bars and pools were excellent. p.s the resort it's self was nothing special but the hotel was all inclusive what else do you need if you do want to go out of the complex to the beach go out through the hawaii block down the road and turn left at the bottom where the sand is practicaly white.
Well..................
Palma Bay was my second time abroad and when we arrived at night the hotel was all lit up the hotel looked stunning! it was like a mini-butlins and the rooms were clean and tidy and the food was quite nice. The enertainment during the day was brill! BUT at night it was quite unorginised at times as the sound system was wonky but considiring our holiday was during the high season the should have had it fixed. and in the snack bar a few cockkroaches were found The way they cleared the tables at night and made a big 'theatre' was brill!!! Palma Bay hotel is one of the best hotels we have ever been to! I defo recomend it. The only downside was the area of Arenal. Dirty and full of germans!! The beachcomber bar was fantastic- staff were all very friendly!! Beach was brilliant. Our entertainers were erica, hannah, sarah and tom! Was that anyone elses??? Anyway would recomend this hotel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 9/10
Absolutly fantastic
Me and my boyfriend went on our first holiday together to hotel palma bay. We got back a couple of days ago. It was absolutly fantastic, it couldnt have been more perfect. The place was clean, the room was a decent size for just the two of us, it also was spotless, the food, the drink and the atmosphere was really good. We were in the hawii block, as there are 3. Everyone was so friendly and i felt really relaxed. The entertainment wasnt that brill, but there was a town and beach not far from the hotel. there was plenty of things for us to do. i read these reports before i went and it did scare me a little, because there were some awful ones, but i had nothing to worry about, it was great. We are going back in september, so all i can say is enjoy yourselves when going to hotel palma bay.!!!!
Peaceful week
The hotel was better than I expected after hearing passed comments. The hotel was clean and tidy, the pools were nice and it was good value for money. Being the begining of the season I was surprised buy how many people were at the hotel, I definately would not like to be there at high season but then again I prefer a peaceful week and that was exactly what it was. Mainly couples, a few small families with young children and lots of people from Germany, Holland, Liverpool and Manchester. Occassionaly there were some load people but what do you expect when alcohol has been flowing all day. Entertainment left a lot to be desired. 9.00pm there is bingo in 4 different lanuages. 10.00pm there is their main act which might be the entertainment staff doing somesort of 'butlins style' entertainment a quiz/audience participation on stage or them miming to backing tracks while trying to dance in time with eachother and the music or you might be lucky and have somesort of outside entertaiment come in and bedazzle you with their talent. Otherwise 'The Beachcomber' pub was a lovely place to go to and the service was excellent.
Wedding Anniversary treat
The hotel was clean and although is in need of a lick of paint, was in good order. The pools and bars were superb and the food was excellent, something different everyday. The resort was spot on and the sporstman bar and beachcomber bar left us with many a hangover the next morning !! All in all thoroughly enjoyed it and will definately go back again.
never again
We stayed at Palma bay for a week at the start of May.The rooms are small,food is ok,never saw the reps.The hotel is not very well run at all,nobody knows whats going on.Hotel is full of noisey germans,got one nights sleep all week.Would never go back to Arenel,but Palma seems very nice.If you like Liverpool go to the sportsman bar on the front.Daves tavern in the next village does some mean burgers.
yawn boring !
To be honest myself and my partner had a great time....when the sun was out..if not it was like been at an old folkes home. food very poor same everyday,drinks ok if the sun was out but if not there is 1 bar open in what is like a working mans club so imagine 400+ people trying to get served by 2 staff not good! and be warned rooms getting broken into by local yobs we saw them running off with pockets full! 1 more thing if you like a game of dodge the dog poo you will love the walk down into town its everywhere. only saw the reps at meal times too.
dirty rooms
the room was mingin cupboard was falling apart and plug sockets hanging off the wall also room was half painted food wasn't too bad had good swimming pools the resort was full of drunken germans who sang my six year old boy a reindition of rule brittania in german
I'm going back again!
Well I really enjoyed it. It might not have been the Ritz but it was clean. Friendly helpful staff, and a good choice of food. I certainly didn't go hungry! The town isn't anything special, but the sea is just a short walk ( 5 mins ) down the hill. And there's even a McDonalds to make you feel at home! I've just been into the travel agents today and booked another holiday there in July
