Globales Palmanova

Entertainment was great. Hotel was amazing. Great food. Good atmosphere. Room was spacious and kept clean by staff. Would definitely go again!

We stayed for 4 nights March 3rd - 7th March 2025. We booked and paid extra for a pool view room, we got a view of the children’s splash pool as we were put in a corner room, couldn’t really see the main pool. (That offered more sun on the balcony for a longer part of the day) Reception staff were not very friendly, didn’t greet us warmly, no enjoy your stay etc. Some staff I must say are more friendly than others we found during our stay, it would be nice if all the staff were as friendly to us guests. No help to our room we were left to find it ourselves. We elected to hire a safe, we could have purchased it for the money we paid to hire it for 4 nights, €42 with a €10 euros deposit!! Our Room Our room was clean and tidy with a complimentary Globales carrier bag left on the bed for us. We had notified Jet2 it was our belated Ruby wedding anniversary, the hotel had been notified but at no time during our stay did anyone mention our anniversary. Our wardrobe had damage to it, we assumed where previous guests climb on the bottom lip to get to the very high shelf in the wardrobe. Also the spline of wood running up one of the doors was coming away with an exposed screw at the top. We were surprised that at the beginning of the holiday season we would find damage as this should have been taken care of during close season. There are kettles in the room and a few complimentary tea and coffee sachets with two creamer jiggers. TV is a large one and on the wall showing some British tv (High Chapperal and The New Avengers to name two!) The glass bathroom door had no lock (assume that is normal as last year we had no lock in another hotel down the road to this one?) Would have been nice though for the door to close to properly as it popped open and wouldn’t stay closed to. The bed bases as someone else said seem flimsy, but the mattresses were of a very good quality, nice and firm not saggy at all. When we arrived in our room it felt very warm in there so I tried to turn on the air con, I couldn’t get it to work, so I rang down to reception where I was told that the air con is not on at the moment as she said it is cold in Spain. Jet2 do not notify guests of this in their holiday listing for this hotel I think guests need to be made aware of this. This is obviously a hotel room and around the size of a Premier Inn style double room, so not a huge room, the bed being quite close to the doors to the balcony had no privacy as there was no net curtain at the balcony doors. The curtains were of a good blackout type so if you wanted privacy and closed them it was pitch dark in your room! For short breaks in the UK we stay in Premier Inns so not 4* but perfectly adequate, so when we saw this hotel was a 4* we were excited to stay. The walls of the hotel rooms (see other reviews of this hotel too) are “paper thin” we could hear everything the family next door said to each other! We have never stayed in hotel rooms with such poor insulation between rooms. I

I booked to come to this hotel in February to come for 5 nights in April, still reading the reviews coming up to the holiday I was worried I’d made the wrong choice, however I was wrong to be worried. The hotel is very clean, we had cleaners in our room every day, pool area is cleaned every morning throughly. Throughout the stay the staff were welcoming, friendly, we had a problem with our tv one morning and was fixed by our return later on that day. Yes the lift was abit small but caused us no issue. Location is great, close to bus links, the beach, plenty of shops and restaurants. The rooms were a really good size, we were 711 we had a beach and pool view which was amazing. I would say the walls are maybe too thin but that’s probably most hotels and the food options weren’t great as I’m abit of a fussy eater, breakfast however was great with plenty of choice, my partner had no trouble finding food it was just me. Overall I do think people find unnecessary faults we had no issues at all it was a lovely friendly hotel for a good price. I’m pleased we came and I would return.

On the surface this was a great hotel for location and price and at first we thought was very clean. The food was very poor no selection and some odd choices I as a non picky eater struggled with so we ended up eating out most of the week. Overall the hotel was clean however the pool area isn’t properly cleaned daily as we found bloody tissues under our loungers first thing in the morning and stained bedsheets were put on our beds, previous guests had drawn on the frosted glass bathroom door which hadn’t been cleaned and there were greasy marks on the balcony doors and glass. The rooms were always ‘cleaned’ daily but floors were always a bit dusty and the clean mugs etc put back in never seemed very clean. We did see a lot of bugs in mostly our bathroom and large insects in the downstairs entertainment area bathroom which put us off from using them. The walls of the hotel are paper thin you can hear neighbours TV’s and conversations and god forbid you are in a room next to younger guests like we were playing loud music into the late hours of the night, if you are sensitive to this I wouldn’t recommend booking. The staff in the hotel were mostly lovely we had some issues with our room keys thought our stay and the reception staff were great in dealing with it. I think if the location of the hotel wasn’t so good we would have been really disappointed with our holiday but it’s close to the beach, bus links, great places to walk to and fab food choices which we used a lot of. We did have a great holiday but spent a lot more money eating out than expected and we wouldn’t return to this hotel sadly.

IGNORE NEGATIVE COMMENTS We stayed in room 502 March 6-13 2025 great view of hills in the distance.Food delicious excellent choice on all inclusive 5mins to ⛱️ . Javier( reception) and Anya( activities) really good at their jobs we did every activity, booked up for next year.FANTASTIC

Very clean well kept hotel. The cleaning staff were very good at their jobs. The room was spacious and we had a sea view on the 6th floor. We enjoyed the restaurant food which had plenty of choice and staff in there were so lovely. We ate fruits cereals , cooked breakfasts , toast and great coffee. Lunch and dinner could be similar but again lots of choice. The plates were hot , everything was fresh and you could eat as much as you liked - From pizza to fresh fish, salads or vegetables, potatoes or chips. The entertainment crew were so happy and they worked hard as did the bar staff Such a lovely place ❤️
