Pal Beach

We stayed in one of the most expensive rooms the Panoramic Sea View Suites as we wanted the sea-view from our room… the location was just perfect opposite the sandy beach and close to the centre of the town, the bed was very comfortable, as were the pillows and the bedding was lovely too. The bedroom was spacious and there was also plenty of space in the living room if you wanted to watch TV. The breakfast was adequate, if very repetitive and we liked the fact that we were able to take our breakfast back to our room so we could eat it looking out at that lovely view. We were slightly disappointed with the quality of the room…reading that it was recently renovated we expected a higher standard, basically the rooms had had a cheap refit, the old bath tub still remained as well as the old tiles and shower unit and shower curtain as well as the old tired dark wood sliding door. There was no privacy on the balcony which could have been easily fixed by putting up a privacy screen. We had a problem with no hot water in the mornings….I reported this to reception who said they would sort it, unfortunately they didn’t so we never had a warm or hot shower in the morning during our stay ! However there was plenty of hot water in the evenings. The hotel also has its own orange sun loungers on the beach opposite, these I had assumed would be free, but we’re only available to guests at a 50% discount. The front reception staff were friendly and helpful and on check in we were given lots of useful information about the area. Would we stay again? No not paying the amount we had to for the Panoramic Sea View Suites…they are too expensive for what they are offering.

Great location. Hotel was fairly basic, especially the breakfast and they didn’t provide any toiletries like shampoo.

The location is perfect. Paleochora is amazing and I would highly recommend if you’ve never been. This was our 5th visit, but the first time at Hotel Pal Beach. I wouldn’t go to this property again. The hotel’s location is perfect. The sea view suite is nice and the view is stunning. The breakfast is not bad at all really. I’ve had far worse. Lots of fresh fruit and yoghurt with honey. The staff ruined our stay I’m afraid to say. Just head down at reception. Help yourself to your own key so no interaction was called for. I would describe them at best disinterested, at worse, they are rude. One member of staff was clearly talking about me in Greek (I had moved the stray cats away from my wife who is allergic) as she was stood a meter away pointing at me and shouting to a local man. I asked her what the problem was and she shouted at me in English that I was the reason for the stray cat problem. When it was quieter, I went to talk to the receptionist to complain about the incident at breakfast. As I was telling her, the phone rang and she stopped me to take the call. Customer service was not the highest priority at Hotel Pal Beach. If you want amazing views, book the full sea view rooms. Just don’t expect a warm welcome.

Things are going south with this hotel. As other people writes in their review a simple hot shower can be a challenge. Sun beds now comes with a price - another little plus turned into a minus. Furthermore - and even worse - the whole hotel emits a nerve wracking vacuum hover like noise from the hopeless inefficient A/C installation. We have been coming here for decades but this stay might be the last. You simply can find rest from the constant vacuum hover sound.

Great location opposite beach and short walk from restaurants. Room old fashioned and bed not very comfy.

Perfect. Staff helpful. Hotel lovely. Location amazing. Room good. Absolutely no complaints.

Just returned from a wonderful holiday staying at this friendly hotel with great customer service. The room was modest but comfortable bed and good standard linen. Maid service very thorough spotlessly clean. The breakfast was plentiful and eating on the terrace looking over to the sea was lovely.Loved our large sunny balcony.
