Club Palia Maria Eugenia

We stayed in premium. Rooms are lovely and modern with air con and rain fall walk in showers. They were cleaned daily and fresh towels given everyday. The premium pools are lovely and overlook the sea. We went down on an afternoon and always got sunbeds. The main pool is massive. We always got a table for breakfast, lunch and dinner and the food was lovely. Staff are very friendly. Our hotel door broke one night and the lovely technician came and fixed it straightaway. The beach is close enough to walk to either down the coastal path or quicker through town. There’s loads of shops and restaurants. We had a brilliant day out in the glass bottom boat from the beach. Would highly recommend and would go back.

We chose to come back after 8 years, because we loved it so much last time and wanted to experience this feeling again. Once more Palia Maria Eugenia was as good as we expected, the animation team was full of energy and very friendly and there was constantly something to do thanks to them. The whole hotel staff was welcoming especially Paloma who we knew from the first time we came. She’s always smiling, taking care of the residents and due to her positive manner she helped us feel at home. We would recommend this hotel to anyone

Just arrived back from here today. Mixed review based on a number of things, booking/food/entertainment. Before I go any further the booking we did was via the “Jet 2 website” and it was a kind of last minute decision but not sure if it’s the same for all but the hotel has a standard side and then a premium block! The pictures conveniently used of the 2 small pools looking over the ocean are all part of that premium block that is all fenced off. It’s ok if you want peace as it’s not got the games and atmosphere as the main pool but just double check if that’s what’s grabbed your attention and just look before you book.

We originally thought we were the only British there as it is quite well filled with mainly french and were a little concerned as it’s always nice to meet new people on holiday and bit by bit we got chatting to people by the pool or in the pool and met such lovely fellow Brit’s so just mingle and you will find each other. The French and others nationalities were all actually so friendly and although not so easy to communicate with you get chatting at the bar.

The good bits first. The staff are amazing, like they do not stop and work so hard. They are friendly and always a friendly face and you couldn’t really fault anyone from reception to the housekeeping. The daytime entertainment was always spot on with activities for both in the pool and out. The waterpolo game was a definite highlight. Food had different theme nights, they had plenty of stations and you never really had to wait but unfortunately there is no way it’s 4 star rated food.

The not so good bits… The side of the pool can get extremely slippy, as all pools can be at times but with or without footwear it can catch you out so especially if you have kids then make sure they don’t run.

The main pool itself is a poor condition with tiles missing, patches of repairs done poorly and stick out like a sore thumb.

The food is warm, not hot and the hash browns were not far off frozen still so if you like your food hot then suggest you use the microwave. Personally I’d like to have seen more imagination if they class this a 4 star rather than thaw and serve desserts, maybe do a bbq one night ?

Entertainment was great in the day but whatever they had in mind for the adults part at 9.30 is really poor. Last night was abba themed with 1 woman singing and the other nights just not what you’d expect. But.. the kids part of it all you can’t knock as they really engage with them and thats more important than anything.

Location wise it has so much on its doorstep with shops opposite, nice bar showing the football, kids play area, crazy golf. The beach is 10 minutes away so it’s not short of things to do if you want time away from the hotel.
