Hotel The Palm

Location right in the city center.

Could have been a bit cleaner, we had an incident that we can share in private if necessary. While location is extremely good, it was unfortunately very noisy outside at almost 3 am. Elevator was broken and we had to carry four luggage’s and backpacks ourselves

A once very luxurious hotel, with lots of potential. Nice rooftop with a view. Bed comfortable and huge shower and bathroom. Good A/C. Lush greenery in the courtyard. Basic breakfast included (not advertised on Booking).

No safe (despite being advertised on Booking). Staff mostly absent. Overall, this hotel has seen better days, and is slowly decaying. If you take a room on one of the lower floors, facing the courtyard, beware of the mosquitos!

This is the second time I’m staying at The Palm. Nice rooms with warm water in the showers (that’s not always the case everywhere), I love that it’s really close to everything but not too noisy. It’s located a few hundred meters from the beach, and also has a nice rooftop in the building. You can easily walk to restaurants, supermarkets and shops nearby.

Most of the staff isn’t speaking so much english and I’m not fluent in spanish, sometimes it’s hard to understand each other. But they are really friendly and we used Google Translate.

Rooftop Pool und Bar sind prima, Cocktails schmecken sehr gut, Barkeeper sehr freundlich und versteht sein Handwerk. Cocktail Angebot der Happy Hour variiert von Tag zu Tag.

Hotel ist in die Jahre gekommen, Standardzimmer waren zu unserer großen Überraschung völlig inakzeptabel für den Preis, Fenster zum Gang, daher Vorhang immer zu und dunkel. Upgrade auf helle Suite mit Balkon war notwendig. Kleine Details wie abgenutzte Waschbeckengarnituren oder heraushängende Toiletten Papier Halterungen zeigen dass leider nichts in den Erhalt der Infrastruktur investiert wird. Zimmerreinigung und frische Handtücher jeden Tag. Auch heiße Dusche und Kühlschrank funktionierte. Parkgarage auch für größere Autos geeignet. Fazit, leider zu teuer für das was an Zimmerinfrastruktur geboten wird
