The Palzzo is a fantastic hotel. The room was very comfortable, with everything we needed for a two-week stay. The bed and bathroom were fine. The curtains made it nice and dark so we always got a great sleep. The safe didn't seem to always work using code numbers, so the staff gave us a key, which ensured that it always worked fine. I needed boiling water for a particular kind of eye-bath thing, so the staff gave us a kettle, too. At all times, the staff, both out front and in the bar and dining areas, always went the extra mile to ensure that we had a great stay. They were always friendly, helpful, smart and professional. We had breakfast all-in, an extensive and tasty buffet spread, which was always fresh, and set us up for the day. The pool and jacuzzi areas were fine, with plenty of room, most of the time, and enough sunbeds and umbrellas. The hotel is in a great location, at the end of the peninsula, and the walk into the town and to the beaches was never very far. The hotel bar area is nice, though deserted much of the time. This may have been because of the time of year. It was still great to sit on the terrace, or have a drink in the hotel's comfortable lobby. The only thing I didn't like about the hotel was the music. It was loud to the point of intrusive, sometimes, and drove us away from the outside terrace once or twice. It was also played at breakfast. I mean, we were mostly people old enough to remember it and not particuarly like it. It wouldn't matter if people were actually listening to it, but NOBODY there was listening to the same loops of terrible 80s and 90s hits - really. I think it's a sort of lazy way to do music; by all means put on some music if people want it, but just playing the same playlists all the time suggested that even the people putting on the music weren't all that interested in it. However, this didn't spoil our stay, of course.

We were picked up from car park drop off by hotel transfer and the driver was so warm and welcoming . This was also the case with a very helpful reception staff . We had booked a twin room but the holiday company hadn’t informed the hotel . Reception staff did find another room but advised the double was better with balcony so suggested we still took that which we did. The room was comfortable and clean . Lovely sea view if not for the flat roof and cruise ships moored outside the hotel most of our visit . We did miss balcony flowers though . The cruise ships moored outside looked right into the pool and sun-bed area so you can feel a little looked on when ships moored there. Breakfast was good , selection of fruit , meats, cheeses , cereals , breads , variety of milks, teas. Juice machine was a roulette as you never got what the button said and no orange juice. However there was a sign for orange juice saying 3 euros for it!. No toaster or bread for toast but you could order it from the staff easily . Sufficient selection to suit most needs for breakfast . Small pool with some sun-beds but never had a problem getting one as not very busy. Got sun all day and some daybeds for shade. Spa was next to pool so you could use toilets shower gym collect towels for beds. There was a selection of water in the spa you could help yourself too all day including a bowl of fresh fruit. There was pool service for other drinks too . There weren’t any cocktails unfortunately . There is access to the sea for swimming around the promenade but be careful swimming near to hotel as regular boat taxis moor outside hotel too . Very close to restaurants and bars. There is building works on another building opposite but we weren’t troubled by it at all . Great location on the harbour in the old town . Lovely hotel and staff were wonderful we enjoyed our stay
