Excellent location, quiet, but near the beach, shops and restaurants. The room was a bit small, but clean, quiet, and comfortable. Although parking on the street was available, we were allowed to park in the courtyard, which was more secure. The staff was very friendly and helpful with advice about where to visit and how to get there. The pool, while not large, was clean and refreshing.

Basic hotel - no hot water.

There was no hot water in the hotel. The breakfast is served from menu and there is very poor choice. No one speaks English and you need to know at least basic Spanish to communicate. The hotel is walking distance from the centre, so it's quiet there, but get on the main beach you either need to walk 15-20 minutes or take a taxi. Beds could me more soft - a bit too firm for me. Ther room was big enought to accommodate 4 guests.

Malo

No recibí la habitación por la que pagamos. Pequeños insectos negros en la cama cada noche para matar. Cambiamos sabanas cada noche. Ducha sin cabezal de ducha. Colchón vale 50,000 pesos. Supuestamente no había otra habitación disponible. Tal vez, otras habitaciones son mejores, pero 211 muy mal. Desayuno tiene que escoger de 7 selecciónes de la cocina. Servicio al client 1-10, 4

Great staff!

The staff at Hotel Palma Blanca del Mar are incredible! I left my phone in a taxi and they tracked it down for me. They were always friendly and helpful. The hotel offers a delicious breakfast and has a nice pool. The room we stayed in was a bit small, but overall we were happy with the hotel. The location is close to the beach, though it is not in the center of the city.

On a plutôt l'impression d'être ds une auberge plutôt qu'un hotel.la chambre du premier soir était minuscule mais on en a demandé une plus grande pour le lendemain et celle-ci était très correcte. Le déjeuner est bien, sans plus. Bien que ce soit Rodadero Sur c'est un peu cher.
