Hotel Palia Maria Eugenia

Amazing staff, food was different daily. Entertainment was the best had different activities daily and on a night! Can not wait to book again and take the kids, hotel was clean rooms were done every morning. Pool was fit for babies / adults seriously one of the best hotels

The whole stay was lovely, staff were so nice, room was amazing, food was good lots of selection and always food available. Lots of drinks machines around too, we were in premium and it was definitely worth it, always a subbed available and hotel was in a good spot! Amazing value for the money

We have just returned after a week staying at Palia Maria Eugenia with our 18 month old. Overall we had a lovely time however we would not plan to return. Pros: The hotel is really lovely, always somewhere to sit and available loungers in the day. Atmosphere in the day was really nice the animation team did a great job. Staff were great especially the restaurant team - the Lady hosting the restaurant was great and really took the time to interact with our little girl. Pools are great for kids, our daughter would have loved to be in the toddler room all day. Housekeeping team were great, rooms spotless. Cons: The rooms are really noisy, our first night we were in a room by the stairwell and could not sleep at all - unfortunately we had noisy neighbours too. Thankfully the reception team moved us to a lovely room at the end of the corridor the next day, we were lucky that it was quieter until we had noisy neighbours again on the final night. I’m quite a deep sleeper so when I read the comments on this on Tripadvisor prior to arriving I didn’t think much of it but it’s bad! Food was ok, some nights were good some not so. Fizzy drinks had some strange aftertaste. Snacks throughout the day weren’t great. Meal times were quite late and entertainment quite late starting. We chose the hotel based on the facilities/ pool for our toddler however with dinner starting at 7pm, entertainment from 9pm it didn’t really seem thought out for younger children. Other than the beach the location wasn’t amazing, we went for a walk each afternoon but there’s not much about. Although we had a lovely week we did feel it wasn’t good enough to want to go back. The staff really made it but if the sound proofing, timings and food were better it could be amazing. I would rate between 3/4* if I could!

Stayed for seven nights in May with my wife. Hotel was very clean overall and room was cleaned every day. Towels changed on request. Main pool area for adults and kids had plenty sun beds. All staff were pleasant and always smiling. Food was different most days and was very good. My wife is quite a fussy eater but always found something she liked. Big thank you to the Animation team who were all excellent throughout the holiday. They made my holiday. Special thanks also to my French table tennis partner Francois. Good value for money holiday.

Loved every moment of our stay, the staff and the food was incredible. I also liked the feel of security around the place and the cleanliness of the environment. It was a true holiday vibe throughout.

Room was spotless, we were in the premium section. Amenities were great too, access to the beach, the shops around etc. Very nice stay overall, but felt like costs were cut in small details. Plastic glasses for example. Pretty standard in resorts, but having pint sizes for beer and stem glasses for wine and cocktails would have made it feel less cheap. Especially considering there are no glasses at the main bar either. Didn't even know the reception had coffee pods for the coffee machines in rooms. No note, nothing. Food was varied. Probably have to be very picky not to find anything to eat. There was some kind of grub available at all times. You had a few delicacies every night, something different to try. A little disappointed with fresh produce and salads. They felt just a little on the verge of going off every night. And tiramisu without rum is a sin. More condiments could really step up the game I think. The asian night for example needs some containers for the soy sauce. Who wants to pour it over their entire plate? And getting some other sauce for spring rolls would have been lovely. Sweet chilli for example would have made a massive difference. Sweet and sour pork tasted like german goulash for some bizarre reason. Go figure. And I know it's probably not a thing in Spain to have relishes with cheese, but I think it would have amplified the experience. The most bizarre was the questionnaire at the end of our stay. Supposedly anonymous, but had marked the room number on the back. And then not a single pen or pencil in the room to fill the thing in. I certainly didn't go out of my way to source one either.
