we were told the hotel was in the centre of puerto rico which is untrue. On arrival we found that the hotel certainly was clean and had a lovely view and the pool was fantastic. Apart from that there is nothing else good i would say about this hotel.
The reception staff were not friendly and were ecrtainly not helpful if you had a problem, always claiming not to speak english but could understand every word we said?????
We were meant to be half board at this hotel and we were not told that breakfast was served by the pool bar and not in the restaurant so we never got breakfast. For dinner we had a choice of fish salad or chicken salad and we had to pay 5euros for 2 colas! We ended up having to eat out most nights.
I would not advise anyone to go to this hotel - sorry!

We stayed at this hotel for one week and had a fantastic time. The view from the balcony was out of this world. The rooms and balcony were very spacious and very clean.
The hotel was 10 mins from Europa centre(restaurants and bars) uphill which was not much of a problem if you don't like walking you could get a taxi cheap enough.
The hotel staff were very helpful especially Laronzo and Grego.
There was no entertainment at the hotel but this suited us as the staff made up for this.
We are planning our next trip here for October. We would definitely recommend this hotel

We highly recommend Palmera Mar.
We had a fantastic time. we had so much fun with the staff - Lorenzo, Danny,Gregory and Antonio. The rooms were so clean and the location was great, the Europa centre was nearby and the taxi's were so cheap to get down to the centre.
Amadores beach was below us and the view was fantastic.
We enjoyed every minute of it and although there was no entertainment there the staff made up for it.
We hope to go back in September and we cant wait!!

Palmera Mar had beautiful views over Amadores Beach. The apartment was all we required as a base for a holiday. The balcony was massive and a sun trap, the only thing missing was a couple of sun loungers to catch the rays. Maid service was excellent, with beds and towels changed on a regular basis.
The pool area was lovely, with a clean pool, and a well stocked pool bar.
The apartments were really quiet, which was great if you ever wanted an early night, which we never did. Reception closed 1pm to 4pm which caused us no problem. We enjoyed our stay here and would visit again.
The location is great for the Europa Centre, which is only a 10 minute walk away with its many bars and restaurants.
The only downside was, our flight didn't leave until Saturday at 11.45pm, our bus picked us up at 8.30pm, and we were told on the Friday we could keep our room on for 20 Euros, we approached reception on the Saturday morning only to be told the hotel was full, because of a Spanish bank holiday and Fiesta and we had to be out of our room by 12 noon, which was highly inconvenient as we had already made plans for the day, which we had to cancel. The reception staff were very apologetic for misleading us, but the manageress wasn't. The Flyglobespan brochure stated that there was a luggage room, there isn't, therefore we had too leave our luggage in reception, in full view of everyone, from 12 noon until our bus picked us up, which we were quite apprehensive about as the reception area is often unmanned.

Pin clean apartment with fantastic seaview.
Lovely pool with jacuzzi and unbelievably friendly staff. On arrival we were given a choice of rooms and floors and also the day before we left we where offered the room for late checkout free of charge which luckily we did not need as we had a mid-day return flight.
Although no entertainment Euro centre only ten to fifteen minutes walk away up the hill depending on age and fitness.
Would recommend to anybody.

Fantastic apartments although no entertainment which did not bother us.
Europa centre is only 15 min walk uphill. Staff were great.View from balcony I wanted to take home with me.
Highly recommend this accomodation.Hope to back here next year.These apartments were in a quiet location which suite us.
Taxis were cheap and staff at reception will phone you a taxi whenever you need.

Very clean hotel - rooms are very spacious.
We were delighted with this hotel - the rooms were lovely and were cleaned very regularly as was the swimming pool.
The reception is not open 24 hours, which made no difference to us. Beautiful views of the swimming pool and Amadores beach made this a very relaxing location.
There is no entertainment but the 'top of the hill' nightlife is only a short walk away, with the downtown nightlife only 3 euros in a taxi.
