Hotel Palm Beach B&B SEA VIEW

Lovely hotel, very helpful and friendly staff, incredible aircon system, location good with plenty of little shops and night market. Free use of bikes was a real bonus too. Beach towel hire great idea too and they were lovely

Little bit more fresh produce with breakfast selection (tomatoes, cucumber, melon etc) would have been good. Would have liked to have sat outside too for breakfast at Helios but too many smokers which seemed to be accommodated to the point of encouraged. Bed was a little too hard for my wife too although was fine for me !

Price was convenient.

When checking in, I (female) went to sign the paper we were given as I was the one who had paid the hotels online, yet it was taken away from me and given to my boyfriend and I was told the 'capo famiglia' aka head of the family should sign. Please, we are in the 21st century - this was just rude and old school behaviour/thinking which I was not expecting! Additionally we were only staying for 2 nights and did not want our room cleaned/anyone to enter as we had left some things in the room like passports etc and some larger items that would not fit in the safety deposit box. There was no hanging sign to put on the door as you would usually find in hotels but they had an electronic system and there appeared the 'do not disturb' option on there so on Day 2 we activated this when leaving the hotel. However we came back to the bed made up and our things clearly moved around. When we asked the receptionist about this the next day, rather than apologise for this, we were just given excuses and told that the electronic system does not work. No one had explained this to us at check in. I feel this is important and a do not disturb option is a basic standard in hotels so quite alarmed at the approach of the hotel to this factor and lack of apology. We were lucky enough to find parking in the white zone (free) one block back from the hotel. But when we asked at Reception about parking options and the blue parking (on street in front of the hotel), the receptionist wildly over-inflated the prices that she said she had heard at about 4 euros per hour (we checked ourselves afterwards just in case we would need to use it and the prices were nowhere near this much) so we felt like it was an attempt to push their 'private' parking as part of the hotel at 10 euros/24 hours which felt dishonest.

very nice hotel in front of the beach
