Palmeras Garden

Beautiful place

We usually stay at one of the big hotels but as this was our 2nd trip to Playa Blanca this year we decided to spend a bit less. We didn’t have great expectations but we’re just thankful we could go again, so soon. We were actually so pleased with our stay here and will definitely return. Our visit exceeded our expectations . The staff were very polite and friendly. The apartment was lovely, very big lounge, separate bedroom and balcony. We enjoyed the chilled vibe of the place! Great walks from the accommodation. If you don’t want to walk the bus stop is very close, €1.40 takes you into the town. The bar Arena has a very welcoming atmosphere and the food is good, had the best chilli con carne there! Book a premium apartment if you can, you get a side view of the sea and great air con. We will definitely book for next year!

Really nice place to stay, we had a one bedroom bungalow. It was very spacious inside, lovely bathroom and kitchen, also a good sized terrace. Only a short walk to the promenade, which was amazing. The coastline was beautiful, lots of nice cafes and restaurants along the way.

The first four days were sheer bliss, then it happened. Sitting on our terrace discussing the possibility of coming back here in January, after a lovely day out at the marina, I went to the safe to get my phone out and found the safe had been unlocked, our travel wallet had been ripped open and 980 euros stolen. Passports, credit card and phone not touched. The complex manager and the police came, no sign of forced entry, so someone opened the Yale locked door with a key and opened the safe with a key. Now I’m no Sherlock Holmes but I’m beginning got smell a rat here. The manager offers to drive us to the police station the next day to fill a crime report in and get an officially stamped copy ( for our insurance company), which he does, then kindly shows us the bus stop to get back to the resort ( I’m try not to laugh now).And that concluded any other contract we had with anyone from the complex. The door and safe lock not replaced, so we had to barricade the door with dining furniture for last three nights, ( knowing someone has a key to the door). There was no “ will you be okay or here’s 10 euros for a snack”. Up until the robbery towels were changed twice, bedding once and the kitchen bin was emptied everyday, conveniently none of these happened on the robbery day, except the safe was emptied of euros. Not sure of how organised this crime is, but someone knew what was in that safe, knew we were out and knew if anything else but euros went missing a whole heap of trouble was coming to the complex. So this type of behaviour seems to be acceptable and tolerated, we’ll sort your insurance out, everyone’s a winner. So what would have been a four star review is now a 1 because I can’t give it zero. I think you will be perfectly fine here as long as you haven’t got a great deal of money with you, please just take a card of some sort, or don’t use the safe. At the end of the week we had to take the safe key back for the 10 deposit refund ( hilarious) and the lady on reception said “ because there was no sign of forced entry, nothing could be done “ . So in conclusion we will not be returning in January or any other day. There’s something very fishy about this place.

My husband took me to palmeras garden for my 60th birthday. The rooms are big and spacious.Our room was not cleaned all week only bin emptied.Two towel changes and 1 bedding changed . On a couple of occasions we saw a cleaner at the door of the apartments and when she thought we was heading that way she banged her upside down mop and a man appeared at the door very suspicious looked very guilty.A lovely couple we was talking too had all their money pinched out of a locked safe which unnerved us a little so we kept our valuables with us after this incident. Sounds like they didn’t get much help.Cockroaches in room ,powerful spray under kitchen sink .Dont stay in room after spraying. We will not be returning.
