Palmariva Beach Hotel

Wonderful property! Amazing beach view!

The food and the restaurant was fantastic

Great value overall, but expectations should be managed. Dinner buffet was GREAT! Breakfast buffet was just ok - pancakes were delicious, but we didn’t like the watery eggs, and the coffee was disgustingly bitter. Overall, had a good selection of breakfast offerings. Cocktails were delightful and they didn’t cheap out on liquor pours. White wine was ‘on tap’ but came out warm. The beer was good. Lobby area was nice. Rooms were awful, especially the bathrooms - painted stucco was meant to look like marble…(😜) and the toilet area had an awful yellow stain that I avoided examining closer! The linens were clean however, and extra pillows were provided. But the beds were super hard. The sandy beach and pool area were GREAT! Staff was AMAZING - very friendly and accommodating, especially Angela at the pool snack bar, who found fruit for our vegan. Overall, it was good value with the buffet but the property was in need of a refresh and update.

Great staff, great value for money. The beach is literally at the door step and there's also a pool.

Lovely staff, always smiling and ready to help. Great location, close to the nice town of Eretria. A clean pool and very nice beach on the property. Good food too. A very restful holiday, ideal for families!!

The room and the location was great!! On the other hand families with babies and disabled people was not allowed to reach the pool area (there was a locked door and no one had the key)!

When we arrived, due to a hotel's mistake, we were placed in a very different room than what we had arranged.Hotel's staff was quite kind to rearrange that and relocate us to the correct room ASAP, 1,5h later. The room was very thorough cleaned, even if it was cleaned at the last minute, as the re-arrangement was taking place. It was, also, spacious enough, with a nice and spacious WC, a big closet and great view to the sea (photo). On the downsides, I have to mention that there was not any in room mini-bar, as it was mentioned in the reservation; only a small fridge. As we had selected the all-inclusive option we were entitled with a series of all-day free snacks and drinks, as well as three free meals. The free snacks (mainly, ice cream) and drinks were nice, despite the very small variety (no cold coffees except the Greek "Frappé", no bottled water, only a few specific alcoholic cocktails). The food was not so good. Most of the food was OK, the front-face baked meat was really good, but there was many options on the buffet that ware badly cooked, probably not so well maintained, or not tasty at all. The beach was amazing, but its inadequate supervision has resulted to the quite rude and unfair habit of most visitors to reserve an umbrella/beach chair for the rest of the day by just leaving a towel in the morning. In general, the hotel has great premises and many options for activities. But it is obviously understaffed, which results to less than the optimum experience.

Totally run down

Nice beach location. Beds typical for Greece are hard.

Amazing all inclusive property ! Variety of food, beach in front of the hotel, clean.

Great. Everything was most convinient. The food was very good and there were different dishes every day. The waiters are very polite and efficient. During our stay the hotel hosted a group of handicap and it was admiring to see the effort the hotel did to accommodate them. The beach was great for our daily swims. The only down side is that the hotel isn't new and there were only twin beds.

All in all was perfect from the park with the amazing huge old olive trees reach the sandy beach to the pool at night watching the sea , the food was excellent with very good choice of meals, the stuff was friendly and very helpful, I really loved my stay and sure I'll be back again

relaxation, animation and excellent staff . we spent 3 days in this resort. u can visit eretria town it's 10mn far from the resort by taxi . u can also visit chalkida it's 25 mn far also with taxi

Nice, we were there for two days, we had a great time.

Spent a week at the begining of August with the children. Liked most everything: cleanliness, staff behaviour,facilities, the pool, the beach. Had a quadruple room in the bungalows and it was nice and clean - a bit tight for the 4 of us but OK. The other guests were most greek, russian and french. People was relaxed and enjoying their time - easy to observe. They have a very applied team of monitors to help the guests with the many activities possible. Great value for the money.

Very nice facilities, great food and private beach. Hotel staff very polite. There are two animation programs in the evenings: one in French and one in Russian; only the latter includes an English translation.

We stayed here for one night as we had different changeover dates for our two location stay. It suited us down to the ground for that purpose. We were the only English that we saw there but that was not an issue (a blessing!?!). It was predominently Russian with some French and it was family orientated in make up. All the staff spoke English and those arranging the daytime activities were particularly friendly. Our children loved the kids club and though organised activities are not usualluy our thing we engaged in the darts competition and the evening entertainment. The 'bungalow' was in reality a hotel room on stilts but was large enough, clean and had air con that worked. Overall we enjoyed our stay

Not excellent, but fairly good. Everything is working and helpful staff. Mostly families go there. IF I FIND AN OFFER I WILL GO AGAIN.

Great Atmosphere .......................................................................................................................................................................................................................

My wife and I just spent a four-day weekend at the Palmariva. We had been to other hotels in the area and decided to try this one. We thoroughly enjoyed it! The room was very nice (we got a sea-view room), was very clean, and very comfortable. We only had the buffet breakfast in the hotel, but it was nice too. The same thing every day, but a very big variety. Regarding the comments that drinks are expensive, we only had a coffee each when we first got there, but 3.5 to 4 euros for coffee is normal in Greece. We look forward to going back and highly recommend the Palmariva!
