Went to the Palma 14yrs ago when our kids were young and revisited it at the end of september courtesy of our daughter. On arrival in the early hours a security guard was summoned to escort us 4 or 5 streets away to an annex, arriving in our designated room my wife said just what I was thinking, this is like student accomodation and we reversed out the door and retracked to reception again. The guy at reception although very polite advised us that there were no other rooms available but if we came back in the morning then they would see what they could do. We decided to have a few hours sleep and to do as he asked so off we went to the jail cell again, had a sleep and were back at reception by 08.30. We again explained our case and the lad on reception produced the booking invoice stating annex building. Having been to the Palma before we already knew that there were 2 or 3 buildings making up the hotel and obviously took annex to be one of the original buildings in hotel grounds, not half way round the town but 5euro per head per night made all the difference and we were given a room on the 6th floor overlooking the entertainment area and pools, Perfect!!. Moral of the story, know what you're booking when you're booking. Hotel is as good now as it was on our 1st visit 14yrs ago, food excellent, rooms very clean, pools plentiful as are sun loungers. Entertainment adequate, never felt the need to go elsewhere although entertainers, Steve, Roddy and Jenny from our 1st visit would be very hard to match. Hotel was packed while we were there which led to queues at the bar in the evenings but they regularly doubled the bar staff to 4 which kept the queues flowing.
Room Tip: as i mentioned before, beware where you book, sahara, nubia and gobi buildings may not be suitable i...
