Palladium Hotel

Fantastic family run hotel, rooms clean and comfortable, with bedding and towels changed on a regular basis, stayed B &B, lots of choices for breakfast. All staff are friendly and helpful, special mention for Alexis on reception, Themis on bar and snack bar, Despina at breakfast. Would definitely return, highly recommended.

I stayed for 3 nights and I felt immediately welcomed, and was well looked after for my stay. My room was spacious, clean and had a lovely view overlooking the front, and was a stone’s throw away from the pool and bar area. All of the staff were friendly and helpful, and were happy to chat! Being a 15 minute walk to the beach was also a huge bonus. I’d be happy to stay here again!

The Palladium is probably considered a medium size hotel. It has 1 main pool, ample free sun beds, an indoor and outdoor seating area around the bar and an upstairs dinning area again with indoor air-conditioned and outside eating area with view of the pool and mountains. The main 2 story blocks of accommodation circles the pool on 3 sides. There is also 4 separate blocks of 2 story, adults only accommodations further back, each having their own large communal pools directory outside. The ground floor apartments are called swim up rooms, you literally swim up and climb out onto your patio with private sun loungers and table and chairs for 2. These are the new refurbished rooms. Some of the rooms in the older part have also been refurbished. I however stayed in one of the older decor rooms. Apart from being a bit dated, it was fine. Mattress comfortable, air con quiet. Mosquito nets on windows. Bathroom in good repair. The shower is in the bath so have to climb into the bath. Fridge with freezer shelf. Cupboard with hangers and extra pillows. Patio with table and chairs. There is a safe in the room but have to pay extra to use it. I didn't so don't know how much. The fridge and air-con come standard no extra cost. The hotel has beautiful gardens, fruit trees, rose bushes, flowers, so even the "cheap" rooms have lovely views of greenery and flowers. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. They speak German and English. The location of the hotel, Marmari, is popular with German visitors. I think the hotel is relatively new on Jet2 for UK visitors. I only stayed B&B so can't comment on the all inclusive drinks etc. The breakfast was OK. It was buffet style, self service. Cereals, fruits, yogurts, cold meats, feta and other cheese, olives, tomatoes, cucumber, various bread rolls and bread sticks, toast, preserves, eggs scrambled fried or boiled, omelette, sausage, bacon, mini pastries like pan o chocolate etc. Because there's a lot of Germans, there's some German foods and don't expect the bacon or sausage to be english. Maybe German. You can buy lunch there relatively well priced, i had €4.50 for cheese ham wrap, fresh and nice. Cocktails are OK, €9. Draught beer including german Weissbeir Erdinger €5.50 a pint. Don't think they did bitter except Guinness. There was only 1 night of entertainment I experienced in 10 days, which was a greek live music and dance performance. There was music playing of an evening but seemed to be background music. There are tip jars around for everyone, the gardeners, waiters, kitchen staff, reception to leave tips at end of your stay. I left cleaners tip in my room. Another thing, don't leave your room without your room key or you'll lock yourself out. Don't leave any food even wrappers or sweet drinks out in your room or you'll get ants. The flower beds are beautiful but attract bees if you are frightened of them. Location wise, there's not much in Marmari. The hotel is very close to the bus stop t
