“3 nights in October”

Short trip for 4 mates in 3 rooms. Oct 24. Total cost was £700. Honestly not sure why there are so many negative reviews about this hotel....it's not perfect but people expect perfection I guess.

Short trip for 4 mates in 3 rooms. Oct 24. Total cost was £700. Honestly not sure why there are so many negative reviews about this hotel....it's not perfect but people expect perfection I guess. They allocated all 3 rooms on the 1st floor which open up onto the veranda with Jacuzzis (tepid). Rooms were lovely, good bathroom, fantastic shower - people have commented about the water going over the floor....it's a wet room and has drainage by the door...appreciate this could still pose a slip hazard though. My room was cleaned once in the 3 days. Breakfast was perfectly adequate and to my surprise the coffee was decent...they also have proper Nespresso machines so why people are moaning about the coffee god only knows. Staff were always friendly to us. Swimming pool was very warm and clearly heated. Hotel is ideally located at the south of Palmanova and we're already talking about returning. A lovely place.

First time at this resort and hotel, on arrival staff very welcoming smelt lovely, our room was on the 7th floor view was wonderful. Fab shower does get very hot n water does get on the floor but hey it's minor.. breakfast was plentiful, plenty of choice onky gripe coffee machines are so slow and if a few waiting can be a while. The beach is stunning, the hotel pool is lovely and quite warm. Lovely bars and restaurants loads supermarkets highly recommend this location for couples, families ... 🇪🇸 🇪🇸

“Fantastic view but food issues caused problems”

Lovely clean hotel with a fantastic view over son matias bay. Short walk into Palma nova to the left or head right into magaluf so a great location. We had a twin sea view room on 2nd floor which was great. Spacious, clean and large wardrobe area and good bathroom with large shower. The shower head was a bit damaged but still worked ok but the water temperature had wee habit of rising for few seconds before regulating so quick scalding kept you on your toes. Pool is adequate and open 10-6 plus there is a large terrace on first floor with bathing area and 2 jacuzzis available 11-6. Staff were lovely, massive shout out to Stanislava who was brilliant in helping with our issue…. Our issue was the food!!!! On booking the hotel we notified advisor (Jet2) that 1 member of party was gluten free and 2 had food issues due to IBS. We were reassured there would be plenty of choice and they’d pass it on to hotel…they did not. Nothing suitable for first 2 days until we spoke to staff who assured us GF would be available from then on. GF rolls at breakfast and plain GF pasta to dress up for dinner. GF pizza was provided when requested a change so GF food choice was VERY limited. Notify reception on arrival of dietary needs or you will struggle. As for the other food available… if you struggle with IBS or follow a plain/basic food diet, this is not for you. There is a large salad area with plenty of meats, cheeses, pasta/bean mixes plus a dessert area with different cakes and ice-creams but these aren’t labelled so you don’t know what’s in each plate. Then there is the main meal plus sides section which varied nightly and levelled which each dish was. Always fish on the menu, squid, rabbit, veal, pig knuckles or various meats in sauces or with vegetables. All okay if you like a variety of food but if basic is your style then you will struggle. We ended up eating out most nights due to food choices despite paying half-board. We would recommend this hotel due to the beautiful view but only go b&b in future.

We have been going to Palmanova for years but this was a last minute booking and our usual hotel was unavailable so this was our first visit to the Comodoro. When arriving the reception looked lovely, modern, clean and smelt great. The reception staff gave us a welcome drink while we checked in. The tourist tax can be paid via credit card, however the hire of the safe and beach towels (small, old, frayed and thin) have to be paid in cash due to you getting some of the deposit back on check out. For the safe you are given a lock barrel with a key in and the safe in the room just has a hole in where you put the barrel, not seen that one before! After check in we located 1 of the two lifts, however both lifts are tiny and state for two adults, I would imagine peak season this would be a nightmare. We asked and paid for a room on a high floor, we were on the 5th floor, the corridor was dreary and the dark wooden doors didnt help. The room however was pleasant , loads of storage with a 3 door wardrobe, the beds were comfy, small fridge , kettle, 2 x tiny cups and a small wooden spoon! (like you get from the chippy) The bathroom had a walk in shower which did leak onto the floor so for the week we had to drape towels around the wall and behind the toilet to soak it up. The bathroom has no storage for toiletries and no hooks to hang wet towels. Also please be aware if your showering children or have mobility issues the shower temperature fluctuates repeatedly no matter what time of day you go in it and it gets very very hot, so be prepared to move quickly. The room was cleaned daily and the towels changed, the bath towels were on the small side. I dont think the floor was ever swept though. The worst part of the room was the balcony, the view was great but the furniture uncomfortable and plastic but our main issue was the height of the walls between the balconies either side, these were quite low so no privacy, and if someone stood up you could see straight into the next room. We had a very noisy couple next to us who were unable to talk quietly and played loud music all hours, we complained to reception, however they could not have been less interested and simply said " have you asked them to turn it down" they didnt even ask our room number so had no intention of doing anything about it. Luckily the couple left after 3 days and we got more considerate neighbours. We only went B & B and the breakfast basic, only about 6 hot plates so dont expect an array of mushrooms, hash browns etc, you get bacon, sausage , tomatoes, beans and weirdly carrots and green beans! A lady was frying eggs which on our first day she did soft for us, on the next day a different cook refused us a soft egg and promptly turned it over, squashed it, shoved it on a serving plate and said 'salmonella' surely if its hotel policy to cremate eggs then they all should do it? The coffee is dire, cups tiny and the 'juice' is weak dilute. Three days was enough and we ate out the rest of the week. We didnt have evening meal but the same number of hot plates so doubt the choice would have been great. The prices in the pool bar were reasonable for a hotel and the lunch snacks not bad. The pool area is uninspiring and has no atmosphere and is in the shade most of the day, uncomfortable sunbeds and no parasols (probably due to the fact it doesnt get sun and the beach is a couple of steps away) however one side of the pool near the wall is riddled with ants (we also saw them on the reception desk inside) so they are on the beds and any bags you put down. There is a 'VIP' area which has loungers and 2 hot tubs but the gate isnt opened until later as the first floor rooms get priority. All in all this is a 3 star hotel (not 3* plus or 4 which Ive seen advertised) but charging 4 star prices, we paid £2000 for 7 days B & B in September. I probably would stay again at a push as the hotel is in the part part of Palmanova where we tend to use the restaurants, but only if the price reflected what you actually get as we do feel a bit ripped off.
