Hotels near Playa El Palmar

"Like others say, this place has so much potential but fails currently! The few good things - the bed was comfortable, the pool is nice, the beach view when the tide is in is great. The hotel is older and needs repair, the grounds need upkeep. Sidewalks, paths and stairs were dirty and had branches, leaves and large puddles of water to walk thru. The white stairs were steep and wet. Breakfast was supposed to be included but there is no breakfast menu and when we asked what was for breakfast, we were told omelets, coffee, juice, & bread. So we ordered 2 cheese omelets with mushrooms and onions only, bread & juice. My husband didn't eat his omelet because it came loaded with green peppers too. When we went to checkout, we were charged $28 for breakfast! She said free breakfast was continental - bread & coffee or tea only! She wouldn't relent when I told her the waiter said it was omelets, there's no menu or sign explaining it, nor when I said our order was wrong and we barely ate any of it. The staff is the biggest problem here - especially the older woman who appears to be the owner or manager. She was not welcoming or friendly at all - she tried to say we didn't have a reservation until I showed it to her on my phone and although they have a restaurant on-site, she told us we should go next door for dinner - which we did and it was great! I wish we had stayed there instead - it was cheaper too! It's sad, this could be such a wonderful place with just a few simple changes!"

"The room was fine. The buffet was great. However they only offered one beer brand, no whiskey at all and no irish cream at all! "

"Location is not OK on Waze, first write to then to give you exactly location, name is wrong, is not Hotel is Gorgona Beach House. Pool was dirty, not plenty parking lots, there is a stair very badly designed, do not hold the stairs sideways, there is no kitchenette as it says, there is no table, neither chairs, and you need to call or chat everytime to open the gate that is closed for safety resons."

"NO REFRIGERATOR IN THE ROOM. CANT KEEP YOUR DRINKS COLD"

" Kitchen was fully equipped and very clean, had no problem with the appliances "

"Beautiful small hotel ocean front, right on the sand! Our room was amazing and the outdoor shower was a bonus! It had a nice deck as well. The beach was large with salt & pepper sand and practically empty. There are lounge chairs with thatched umbrellas on the property by the private beach entrance. Plenty of on-site parking. Only thing I would change would be to add a small table & chairs as there's no place to sit in the room except on the high, comfy bed! AC worked great! FYI there's no elevator to the second/third floor but the staircase is beautiful! Would definately stay again! "

"Clean rooms"

"They were extremely friendly, there is so much to do for the low cost. Swimming, pool table , ping pong, volleyball. The room was nice and the breakfast was exquisite. I wish we could have stayed longer. We strongly recommend it. You will not regret. "

"Property was basic. Breakfast was horrible. Staff was nice. That’s about all. "
