Nice hotel , nice location ,food was great , but in my 57 years I've never had chips for my breakfast ever...every morning chips were served. I think the dining room seating was a bit claustrophobic,not enough single tables , or an area just couples could eat n sit in peace . I'd also re evaluate the entertainment area not enough seats can see the stage . I'd recommend a seaview room , obviously pay the extra cost it's worth it. The only grudge with this is ,the guy in the next room to us was a smoker and the smoke it kept wafting over , not nice if you want to sit out ... We went all inclusive, not bad but I'd probably go half board next time , not all drinks are included...don't expect pint glasses , drinks are served in glasses not much bigger than a tumbler . The staff are friendly and the room was cleaned daily Enjoy ...x

“It was ok.”

There’s a lot of mixed reviews on this hotel but I can understand why. The rooms are very small, so unless you can get a family room then a family of four would really struggle.

There’s a lot of mixed reviews on this hotel but I can understand why. The rooms are very small, so unless you can get a family room then a family of four would really struggle. They put 2 single rooms pushed together, a sofa bed and a cot bed in our room, but with suitcases and the baggage that comes with small children, it wasn’t great considering the amount of money we paid. The food is ok at breakfast and lunch, the dinner really wasn’t up to much but there was always a form of paella which was edible. The food was actually the nicest from the snack bar by the pool, offering burgers, chicken nuggets/wings & chips. The hotel was clean overall and the housekeepers were always busy whenever I saw them around the hotel. The entertainment could probably do with upgrading, the kids club is at the back of reception which we found on the last day but the evening entertainment consisted of a children’s disco which lasted for 20 minutes. We didn’t stay up extremely late because of the children so I cant comment on the karaoke or bingo. Being truthful I don’t feel the hotel is more than 3*, it was fine for a first family holiday but I don’t think we would return considering the cost overall.

“There can't be a worse hotel in the Globales chain ?”

It is difficult to know where to start really. Firstly, i have visited six or seven Globales Hotels over the last few years and always been very happy and even recommended a couple of them to friends and relatives that took the opportunity to visit, however Globales Palmanova will never get that endorsement from me. The Hotel was spotlessly clean, the cleaners were always friendly and relentless in their efforts to do their job. The restaurant waiters were equally friendly and diligent. Peter in the animation team was definitely the hotel's biggest asset, the youngest barman, Manuel was always keen, smiled and gave good service. The others, from the reception and the snack and main bar were completely ignorant, never making eye contact and often carrying on conversations with colleagues without even a customary glance as they served you ! The food was mostly lukewarm at best, eggs at breakfast were i'm sure made from the same material as the tyres on my car. Birds were often inside the perspex cabinets in the pool bar having a feast. The spirits were of such poor quality that i am questioning whether to go All Inclusive ever again. The evening entertainment was, kids disco from 8- 9pm before, during and after which kids ran wild with no supervision from parents and no instructions from the staff, i witnessed more than one that fell off the stage, which should be completely out of bounds. Next came Bingo until 10 pm and by the time the couple of professional acts that week came on at 10.30, most people had already left and gone to bed. Maybe the staff would benefit from a field trip to the Globales Santa Lucia just down the road to get a lesson in customer service !
