Hotel Palia La Roca

I liked everything about the hotel staff very friendly and helpfull

I did not like that i had to hire a safe and fridge and a hair dryer

The food was fantastic – plenty of choice and always delicious. Service behind the bar from Laura and her team was excellent – speedy, friendly, and they even helped us learn some simple Spanish phrases. Reception staff were incredibly helpful and thoughtful – surprising us with a bottle of cava in our room for my birthday! Cleaners and support staff were always smiling and friendly, with our room kept spotless, beds made, and fresh towels every day. The entertainment team were fabulous, working so hard to make everyone feel welcome and special. Baby Caleb especially loved Kobe, which made our trip even more memorable. The whole atmosphere made our first family holiday abroad truly unforgettable.

It is a shame the pool has to close, we would have liked some more time in the evening after being out all day. There is mud around the edges of the pool area where the sun loungers go, it would be nice if some grass (even fake grass) could be put down to stop from having to walk over mud with wet feet from the pool.

The holiday was fantastic. The food was excellent

Everything the best

Bad smell in room 241 and 341.The food was ok, mostly something we could eat but was always luke warm or cold. The bread was always the freshest. The staff were friendly and worked hard, always on the ball and attentive. The entertainment staff were good too, always happy and didn’t push you to join in if you wanted to chill. The cleaners always happy to provide essentials. The location was great, across the road from beach and walking distance to harbour, it is up an incline though but manageable. Always a sun bed, went end of April for a week. Taxi to/from airport 30-35 euros. Reception can order taxi on return, arrives promptly. Read further.

DO NOT stay in single rooms 241 or 341, really bad smell of drains, shower cubicle tiny, couldn’t move arms once squeezed in, couldn’t sleep with the smell and had to pay extra to move to double as no other single room available. The reception knew about the smell as they said they have checked and there is no blockage, they should not let out these rooms. Room 244 next to lift so noisy and view of outside stairs from window. Food was nearly always cold as if the buffet heaters don’t work. Couple of times the chicken was very red or pink inside, couldn’t risk it then, food was mostly labelled. Desserts could be better but it is a smaller hotel and there was always ice-cream. Some pool side chairs need replacing as a bit cracked looking. No hairdryer in bathroom in single room but could get from reception. Also Wi-Fi did not work for nearly 3 days so had to direct ring family to say arrived safely and could not receive emails from booking.com regarding smelly rooms. Had to wait three days, clothes still packed to find out if I could move or upgrade room.
