Palma Village Hotel by Greek Pride

The room I got was pretty plain, and the photos online seemed to show different rooms. I understand that hotels highlight their best options, but I was a little disappointed. It did have everything I needed. The pool looked clean, though I didn’t use it. The snack bar had drinks, snacks, salads, and more, but those extras weren’t part of our all-inclusive silver tier. Gold was reserved for a specific agency. We had water, soft drinks, wine, and some toast included; everything else cost extra. It didn’t bother me personally, but it’s useful to know. Palma Village was very clean overall, and the staff were extremely kind and welcoming. My friend’s room was cleaned daily, while mine, which was farther toward the back, didn’t seem to get the same service. Still, it was clean and had what I needed. The breakfast, lunch, and dinner buffet was good, though a little repetitive. Breakfast was the same each day, which honestly didn’t bother me. The location is convenient, about five minutes by car from the beach and town center. There was also a scheduled free or included shuttle for guests without a car, and the large parking lot always had a space. Some services mentioned on booking sites weren’t available. Yoga wasn’t running because there weren’t enough participants, and the hotel said it didn’t offer massages, though we could find them in town. It wasn’t a big deal, perhaps because we were slightly out of season, but worth knowing. The “gym” was a few weathered machines in the garden, not really in good condition for use and more decorative than practical. One night, loud music from somewhere nearby, not the hotel, was right next to our rooms. We stayed by the pool until we were exhausted so we could sleep through it. I saw a lady post a video suggesting we had to call the police and worry about other people’s sleep, but we aren’t staff, and I didn’t want to ruin anyone’s party. Despite these small issues, we had a good stay and I’d recommend the hotel.
