The Deluxe Bungalow was absolutely perfect for our needs and everything within it worked flawlessly. Sarah kept the bungalow spotlessly clean throughout our entire stay. Incredible Staff Service The staff were all nothing short of amazing. When we unexpectedly became ill during our visit, one of the incredible team members came directly to the bungalow, took our shopping list, and went to the supermarket for us. This act of kindness speaks volumes. I sincerely wish I could recall his name—that's what I mean when I say the staff at this hotel are truly exceptional! They treated every guest with the same level of outstanding care and consideration. A Perfect Getaway We will definitely be returning next year and planning a longer stay. My birthday trip was simply amazing. One final, but important, note: the air conditioning in the bedroom bungalow was perfect and, even better, was included in the price. See you next year, Palma Rima Hotel!

No Air Con in the room just a fan. Money was lost from room and manager has declared there is a problem with thefts from guests rooms. We were not advised about this on arrival. Pool was tinted green on arrival. This may be due to late rainy season but would have liked to of seen attempt to clean sooner. Breakfast was very basic for all guests. Large construction going on behind apartment block. Pool view apartments being blocked by trees on many rooms. I know we used this hotel due to it being cheap but feel fell well below standard. Very tired property in need of lots of tlc to keep it running.

I booked 3 rooms for myself and friends. We booked economy rooms which turned out to be building site view rooms.. dust from the 50 odd men working from dawn till dusk. I refused the rooms and spent all afternoon hoping to come to a compromise. These rooms should be advertised as building site view rooms.I was charged an extra £10 per night per room. The building is very tired' furniture falling apart and like a prison block. Managment are terrible and only interested in taking peoples money. Everything costs extra too. All the staff were amazing.

Having booked this hotel as economy I was not expecting to much ... however I was not expecting to look over a building site I had not been told about, and only told by a friend who had booked in the day before. Having paid the day before I travelled an addtional nearly £100 upgrade to Standard Room, it is nothing like the photos shown on the Palma Rima site. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND if you have booked Palma Rima hotel you find out which room you have been allocated before travel. I will try to up load photos of how close building site is to property. If you are allocated room room on building site side of hotel , you can expect early morning noise, dust from building works and very unhelpful Management. Also high costs of extras like fridge, safe, extra fans hire etc that makes this non economy stay. What made my stay good is the most amazing staff, always friendly, polite and helpful ... Management could learn a lesson from their staff. Just as a foot note I have worked in hospitality for many,many years, and in hospitality management now, and never met such poor Management ... but also never met such amazing staff ... I would happily hire anyone of the staff I met, I really mean that. I write this review to help but please check your allocated room

The location of the Palma Rima is excellent and the bungalows are a good size and in nice grounds. The staff are all excellent particularly the reception staff and money exchange (safe) man (Buba Demba) and all of the security and cleaning/maintenance staff who we had most dealings with. The breakfast is not the best however with limited choice. We also never ate or drank in the hotel due to the cost.

I absolutely hated this property and left a week early. Breakfast is limited and lacks variety. Poor and delayed response from management for an upgrade even though vacancies existed. Ground staff did their best. It took ages for my reservation to be sorted out when I arrived. Absolutely awful place.

I have stayed here many times and found the staff to be excellent. Large pool and great location for the bars and beach It is no 5 star hotel but you get value for money and a feeling of space as you walk around the grounds
