Hotel Palia Maria Eugenia

Claire Griggs

We had an absolutely wonderful holiday at the Palia Maria Eugenia hotel. My husband was very anxious arriving as he is registered blind, however he needn’t have been as the whole experience was incredible and the staff could not have done enough to make our stay enjoyable and make him feel safe and supported. Firstly we got an upgraded room, so he had more space and less stairs to climb, secondly the bar and restaurant staff guided him as if they were trained to care for people with additional needs. The views were spectacular, food delicious and entertainment fun and engaging. I loved the aqua gym! If you are thinking of going, book premium, it gives you more excess to limited areas and enough sun loungers for everyone, with space between each group. The pools are beautiful with sea views as if you are in an infinity pool. Lots of shops opposite and a short walk down to the beach with crystal clear sea. What more can you want? We intend to return next year with family this time. Thank you staff we loved it! Now to tackle the post holiday blues

Hotel Palia Maria Eugenia is a fantastic hotel that perfectly balances tranquility with family friendly amenities. My family and I were seeking a restful getaway, and this resort ticked all the boxes. The rooms were spotless and modern, and our double Premium room offered breathtaking sea views that added to the overall charm of our stay. The hotel features multiple pools, including two infinity pools and a stunning rooftop seating area with a beautiful bar, plenty of options for relaxation and soaking up the sun. The food was very good, with a different theme every night that kept things fresh and exciting. We particularly enjoyed the variety and quality of the meals... The service was outstanding. A special thanks to Celine at reception and Andrea at the premium pool bar, who went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Their friendliness and attention to detail truly enhanced our experience... Whether you’re a couple looking for a peaceful retreat or a family in need of relaxation, Hotel Palia Maria Eugenia is a great choice. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend it!

Myself and my family spent a week here at the end of May and loved every minute. The staff were amazing, they put on great entertainment that the adults and kids enjoyed, their service behind the bar was great and they were all super friendly. The rooms were modern and extremely clean, with fresh towels everyday and had a pretty balcony view. We chose the premium option which gave us access to 2 more pools and a separate bar which looked over the sea beautifully. I would recommend getting this as it felt worth it to all of us! These pools were quieter, had sun lounging canopy’s and staff would often come round with food on trays for you to try. The beach was not even a 10 minute walk down the coastal path and was beautiful. The water was amazing and I would definitely recommend visiting Martinelli Beach Club right next to it. The cocktails and food are incredible. Overall we had the best week and we would 100% come here again!

We stayed at Palia Maria Eugenia for a week in September, and thought it was absolutely incredible. For such a great price for a week all inclusive in September we felt it was brilliant value for money!!!! 😄 The staff were so lovely at all times, the reception ladies were always so attentive and helpful, and the animation team is brilliant!!!! They all speak multiple languages which is just fabulous, they did so much around the pool during the day like Aqua Gym, crazy games, volleyball, darts and more, and we loved everybody here. 🩵🙌 Our room was brilliant with a double bed and one single for 2 of us we had a lot of space, gorgeous balcony overlooking the Cales De Mallorca markets opposite. Short walk to the beach, we did a boat trip, spent almost everyday exploring the markets and bars too! 😊 The food was lovely, different themes on some nights too, our favourite night was Mexican 🇲🇽 Decent night time entertainment including a magician & a latino singing/dancing duo! We spent our entire week pretty much lounging by the pool every day and it was so lovely. I’ve never been to a hotel where you don’t have to rush for a sun bed or get up at the crack of dawn to get one, we went down at 11am sometimes and even later and there were so many sun beds available! Lots of people sat on the sofa seats under the covers by the bar so there was so many options of where to sit and relax! 😃 We didn’t go VIP and didn’t feel we needed it, our holiday still felt luxurious for the good price we paid for it honestly! We tried out the 2 adult only pools that are down the steps by the other pool bar and tennis courts and they were lovely too, but we preferred staying on the main pool area. We even went down the slides (we’re in our twenties😅) which was so much fun. The only thing I’d say, is we wish they offered British bacon for brekkie 😂😂 but everything else was delicious, and you get what you pay for! I cannot fault this hotel at all, we had a brilliant stay and would definitely recommend and comeback again some day, thank you to the fabulous staff for making our first summer holiday in 6 years so special and enjoyable 🩵🙌🙌

We (a family of 3) stayed here for 10 nights with the premium upgrade. Overall we were not impressed, if we hadn't of upgraded to premium I think we may have gone home early. The staff in general were nice, especially in the premium snack bar and the lifeguard. The rooms are quite a squeeze for 3 people, but for 2 people they would be fine. The rooms are pretty clean and we had fresh towels everyday. One downside of where our room was located is the evening entertainment was right below our balcony. This goes on until 11pm so if you want an early night or have small children it isn't great, but all of the premium rooms would have a similar issue. We would recommend taking ear plugs or some headphones. The flush on our toilet did not work, and there was no working extractor fan in our bathroom. The swimming pools are nice, two in the premium area which are both a good depth and size. There was always enough sun loungers/sun beds, so we never had to wake up early to reserve them! The main pool was a very good size and very deep so was a good pool for jumping/diving in! The Beach is about a 10 minute walk away, so very manageable. It is a lovely sea to swim in, it is very calm and warm. It does get very busy down there, but that is to be expected. The food is were this hotel really lets itself down! The restaurant isn't big enough for the size of the hotel, there is always long queues for the buffet and quite honestly not worth the wait. They either need to expand the restaurant, or extend the opening times of the restaurant to ensure the dining experience is enjoyable. The pizza and pasta's are nice, but after 10 nights we were sick of eating these! The snack bars are ok in the day, but again very repetitive with burgers and hotdogs. The breakfast was the nicest meal of the day, fresh pancakes, pastries and fruit everyday, plus a hot cooked breakfast. There is also only one restaurant at this hotel, which we have never had in a 4 star hotel before. My wife has a nut allergy, which we made the hotel aware of when booking and they assured us they would take it seriously. Unfortunately this wasn't the case, Most of the time there wasn't the correct allergen information available and when we asked the staff they had no idea! luckily I have 16 years experience as a chef so had a good indication of what would and wouldn't have nuts in. For example they told my wife the pesto pasta was suitable for her to eat, but it did contain nuts and I managed to stop her prior to eating it! I checked the allergen information and they had put the wrong information card out for that particular dish! No one seemed particularly concerned about this when we raised the issue. I even asked the hotel manager on one occasion if something had nuts in it and he simply said I don't know, check with her and pointed to the waitress. This is due to the fact that the salad bar had no allergen information on anything at all! The little shopping centre/restaurant area outside the hotel is ok, a bit rough and ready but nice enough for a little walk round. We had a nice pudding in one restaurant, went back to try dinner one night and I was served a raw burger! We can fully recommend the restaurant "Taste" which is only a couple of minutes walk away from the hotel. We were asked upon arrival for a paper copy of a booking confirmation, which we have never had before at any hotel. We tried to show the receptionist on the TUI app our booking confirmation but they wanted a printed copy which was a little bit unusual. Overall we enjoyed being away on a holiday, but we wouldn't return to this hotel. I personally think this was a 3* hotel, and with the newer premium side it has bumped it up to a 4* but none of the amenities have been upgraded.
