Situated on a traffic and pedestrian busy street lined with narrow pavements surrounded by restaurants and shops and a few minutes walk from the sea with its narrow tiny beach where we enjoyed daily swims , I can't understand why it's called a palace as we didn't think that it was very palatial , anyway we had deluxe room in the new block and the room was nice with a modern feel, however I'm informed that not all accommodation is new and some dated older rooms leave a lot to be desired. Outside our room 215 is an electric generator the size of a small bus that kicks in if there's a power failure, and there was just once at 7.30am it's a diesel generator and the noise was horrendous! The restaurant is spotless and all tables have white table cloths , the food was nice but if you want it hot go in as soon as the food is put out because it will cool rapidly, drinks are typically all inclusive, for every drink you have at home you need six at the hotel for the same effect lol, cocktails are included up until 6pm ( greek time ) . Entertainment was errrrrrr well let's skip that for now because you might actually like it. In the morning sitting by the pool for a while was calm, peaceful, relaxing and tranquil, you could hear bird song, the trickle of water in the pool and the gentle wind rustling through the trees, totally relaxing , AND THEN COME 10AM the pool music came on for the whole Bl----dy day every day ! Boom, boom,boom 🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵, after a while the animation team brought out a boom box on wheels and it was aqua aerobics time in the pool, the music was so loud you couldn't talk to each other boom, boom,boom 🎵🎶🎵 ! How is that relaxing ? Well I'll tell you , it's not relaxing it's awful, I'd like to sit the hotel manger in my nice garden for the day and I'll bring my ghetto blaster into the garden and turn the volume to maximum for 6 hours and then I'll ask him how relaxing his day was. Why on earth do holiday resorts think that loud pop music is relaxing? PS Many thanks to lovely Sonia on reception for her kindness.
