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!

I will be back
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

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.

No air conditioning when we got there.
Toilet not flushing
We requested a better room.
We then had to pay more.
They wouldn’t give us a fridge or air conditioner until we paid upfront
Service was really bad

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.

Couple vacay
Me and my partner had over 2 weeks of vacation, staying at Palma rima, standard room and last few days bungalow. Its not a luxury hotel but was perfect for my taste with helpful charming staff, everyday cleaning, I like the pool area and the gym. Would absolutely come back.

A great way to spend a couple of weeks
Plenty of room to move around, spacious pool area with great bar and screens for watching the World Cup.
Approachable management and friendly staff with a desire to help and assist you.
So handy for the beach and all the amenities of Palma Rima road
Lie by the huge pool with a cool drink and watch the palm trees sway in the breeze

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.
