Hotel Palia Puerto del Sol 3 Sup

I’ve been amazed reading some of these reviews - but then you will always find people who complain about everything! We have just returned from a week’s stay at the Palia Puerto de Sol and have had the most wonderful holiday. Don’t go expecting 5* luxury - you aren’t paying for that. Go expecting a lovely hotel, amazing staff and to make the most of this fantastic find. We arrived at 1:15am. Being offered a meal at that time of night, as there was food provided in the restaurant for those who arrived at unsociable hours was much appreciated. Our room was a little way from reception and we were told the long way to walk. Had I been more awake I would have read the map! So let’s break it down. Location - there are stunning views over Cala D’or Marina and it was wonderful eating our meals watching the boats and the people on the marina. There are steps but there are also lifts and there are ramps where possible. It’s on a bit of a hill but taking two people with mobility problems, this never proved an issue for us. Facilities - yes, they are a little dated but they are perfectly fine. The hotel is generally kept very clean. Pool areas were clean (apart from the mess made by others used but that cannot be put down to the hotel). There was always enough sun beds and the 30 minute reservation rule was policed. Staff - AMAZING! Every member of staff that we encountered from cleaners to cooks, bar staff, restaurant staff, reception and animation were lovely and couldn’t do more for you. Definitely appreciated the odd word said in Spanish. Special shout outs to Juan, Christian and Neto. We will miss you guys! Rooms - Mixed bag this one. We had a 2 bedroom apartment. They are comfortable but not the cleanest. Surface clean - yes, but floors dirty when walking on bare foot and some interesting marks on the walls. Our balcony doors didn’t lock, but this was sorted signing the hour when reported. There was water on arrival, you can either refill and the multiple water stations around the site or buy from the bar or shop just off site, and the coffee was refilled. Did need to get tbags from the restaurant if you wanted them. Our air con worked amazingly. The only negatives we really had is the water pressure (but there is not much they can do about that), not enough balcony chairs (we just moved the ones from inside, out) and the fact that the water in the taps/showers is salt treated so not drinkable and can make little eyes sting. Would we return. Definitely. Amazing holiday with amazing memories made. Muchos gracias Team Palia Peurto del Sol
