Palmaria Island Waterpark Holidays

The hotel looks great as you come into the foyer, but the corridors and general upkeep let it down. The walkway to the pool is not welcoming and pool bar very limited for food choices. The water jets in one pool were not working. The outside area is not used to it’s potential and has a feel of faded glamour, and is a bit neglected.

The staff were extremely helpful and smiling!

The poet hotel was very clean due to the hard work of the cleaning staff. The rooms were quite spacious and all facilities toilet, shower, bidet and showers were perfectly functional. The air conditioning was excellent and it was very much needed for our stay in a July 2025 heatwave. The receptionist staff were very helpful and professional. On the downside the breakfast is really boring, we found it had healthy food but nothing that you would expect at a similar priced hotel for breakfast - and the Poet hotel is pricey. For breakfast there was only one staff person for 30 people who I counted. That ratio left them struggling to clean up and reset the tables and also refill the orange juice etc which was often empty. We felt sorry for the breakfast staff who did the best they could. We felt that the breakfast person ( they did change every few days) was under pressure. There is no bar, cafe or day restaurant apart from the breakfast bar and there is a distinct lack of charachter in this very functional hotel. I feel it is so lean it must be a great moneymaker for the owners.

Excellent stay. We loved the hotel and the staff were wonderful.

This is a decent hotel, the only downside is it’s going to cost you $35-40 euros to get to from the train station, you have to go up 6 flights of stairs to get to it from the main road, the hotel doesn’t offer any transportation assistance. They are also going to tell you that the only beach access is to go to the beach club which costs $150 euros per day. Not the case there is a public beach right down the road by the Paradise bar. It’s also going to be a 15-25 min walk to get to Porto Verene. Bed wasn’t very comfortable and breakfast options is limited. They serve the same thing everyday.

Lovely hotel with beautiful, interesting rooms, a lovely rooftop. I can’t believe it wasn’t packed during our stay. Quiet area, but easily walkable to the city center.
