The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Spacious and Comfortable Rooms

I was absolutely delighted with the spacious rooms at Palm Beach Hotel. Each room was cleaned daily, and the king-sized bed was incredibly comfy! I loved the added benefit of free air conditioning, which was a great relief after a long day in the sun. The location right next to the beach made everything even better, as I could easily return to my room whenever I needed a break.

Delicious Food Options

The dining experience at Palm Beach Hotel was fantastic! The evening meals provided a decent menu with plenty of choices that catered to everyone's taste. I particularly enjoyed the freshly cooked poolside food; the chicken tikka was out of this world! Plus, the atmosphere in the dining area was always warm and welcoming, making every meal a delight.

Fun Evening Entertainment

The entertainment provided at the hotel was very enjoyable and engaging. I loved the karaoke nights and the live music that happened almost every evening, which really brought guests together. It added that touch of fun and created a lively atmosphere where we all got to socialize and make memories. I will never forget the laughter shared during those nights!

I had an interesting time at the hotel. The location is beautiful with a lovely beach nearby, and I found the atmosphere to be quite relaxing. However, the room was quite basic, lacking proper amenities like a fridge and safe deposit box, which were offered at an extra charge. The dining experience did not live up to expectations, especially for breakfast. Overall, there’s potential here, but improvements are definitely needed.
