Palmea Hotel

Honest review. Returned home yesterday. Stayed for 1 week. The food is absolutely diabolical, we paid all inclusive and never ate anything at the hotel due to the amount of people poorly from the food and the state of the food 🤢 the food area was consistently dirty, never saw anyone cleaning the outside area apart from removing empty plates and cups off tables. The food by far is the worst I've ever seen. My son had brand new clothing bought in the UK, still with tags taken from our cases in the room. Reception told us it wasn't the cleaners. Along with many other people who complained too. The room I had no issue with, balcony had bugs on all the time.. but the beds I felt comfortable in. The room were never cleaned to a good standard either. Just beds made and fresh towels. Floor was dirty constantly.. lazy thriving cleaners are to blame. The pools are fine, no issue with them. The slide needs to be rewaxed as people was walking down it as no slip to it at all. Bar isn't 24/7 either and closed at 10.30pm every night and didn't open until 10.30am. The location of the hotel is fine for the beach, rather out from the ***** and bars.. we usually stay closer when we visit. But overall the hotel isn't bad located as we enjoy the evening walks. Bar staff at the bottom pool area were pleasant. Staff around the food area hardly spoke English so struggled at times. I personally wouldn't go to this hotel again due to the food being so poor and the overall hygiene of the place. It cost me more to eat out and drink than the actual holiday but I couldn't risk myself amd my child getting poorly. It'd quiet a loud hotel also with alot of shouting and arguing from visitors staying at all hours of the night so bare this in mind when considering this hotel. As it's not their fault for the noise but I feel best to mention everything.

Absolutely dreadful, food made me feel sick, was boring and the same thing every night, the bar staff were absolutely tremendous with us and treated us like family, and were so helpful when we had money stolen from our suitcases by the cleaners, another family had bags full of duty free and clothes stolen and she was caught red handed and still working here, another chef served ice cream with nuts in to my mother in law who has a deathly allergy after telling us it was mint, if you are coming here please change your booking as the managers do not care about the quality of their hotel or their customers.

We paid for a cheap all inclusive, close to the town and beach. We got exactly that. The hotel is smaller and a little dated in parts, but has everything you need. There were a lot of negative reviews and I don’t think they were deserved at all. The food is very much traditional Turkish with a hint of Anglo thrown in. If you’re expecting bacon sarnies you’ll be disappointed but I’ve stayed in top 5* hotels here and the food is very typical of even them. Go with an open mind and try things you will, like we were, very pleasantly surprised. We tried the on site spa and Mr Grey who works there could not have been more helpful. It set us up perfectly for our break. The staff are all fantastic. Nothing is ever too much trouble. I must make a special shout out to caner who must work in every role 24hr a a day. Never was there a moment that we looked up and he wasn’t busy working. Always with a smile and could not have done more to help us and make us feel as welcome as possible. Definitely doesn’t deserve the feedback it’s had.

Fantastic little hotel!! Rooms clean, towels changed and plenty loo roll 🧻 food good always something to eat !! Choice of two pools plenty sun beds plenty alcohol, Staff very friendly, and lovely cob with cheese meat and salad and a bottle of water given to us on our departure!

Apparently new managers in and doing a great job👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 so don’t believe bad reviews Tip…. No kettle in room so bring one Had Turkish bath at sos in hotel…. Amazing👍🏼 All in all fab holiday 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Brilliant holiday! I stayed 5 nights all inclusive, the hotel was clean and food was great each day with a good selection of drinks from the bar. Staff were all fantastic and couldn't have been more helpful during our stay. The hotel has 2 pools which were always cleaned well, a spa, small shop with everything you may need, hairdresser, tattoo parlour etc all with friendly staff. There was also pool tables etc next to the bar area. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and after reading previous reviews I can say that new management must be making some fantastic changes 👏

Just finishing off an amazing week away in Turkey with family, and have to say this hotel is an amazing place to stay, from the lovely clean rooms, the beautiful views, two different swimming pools to sit and relax/sun yourself at, the food/drink throughout the day there is something for EVERYBODY.. the staff are wonderful especially Seda, Jimmy, Benny & Doğan who are all lovely genuine people, who care about their guests and are chatty, cheerful and always helpful ❤️ Sláinte 🍻 and until next time! 👌🏽☀️🍹

The hotel is under new management and the staff have done an amazing job turning things around! Our flight was delayed which meant we didn’t arrive until after dinner but the reception staff met us with a cocktail and a sandwich on arrival which was a nice touch. Dujan, Benny and Seda were on the bar and couldn’t have been more friendly! They looked after us all week and kept our glasses topped up all night 🍻 The hotel is in a great location, only a short walk/bus to marmaris centre and neighbouring Icmeler. Lots of nice bars and restaurants close by. Would highly recommend 😀

Everyone that works here is amazing and friendly! Shout out to Benny, Ahmed, Jimmy, Sade and Duran! If you have any issue they can sort! Good food options and clean rooms with air con and a mini fridge, ask reception if you need anything and they will help there’s never a drama! The rep Kevin who meets with you the morning after you arrive is very pushy though and it’s just to sell you tours and says he’s from love holidays. Avoid this meeting if you can! We had transfer issues leaving to the airport and the reception staff and manager and Ahmed did everything then could to help! We really appreciated everything they did! Can’t fault the hotel at all for its price! Would come back again and recommend! ☀️
