Royalisa Palmiye Beach Hotel Adult Only

Pros +

• We really enjoyed the beach the sand and water were lovely. However, one note regarding the beach service: the staff should maintain a more professional boundary with the guests. Our waiter, while perhaps well-meaning, was overly familiar and couldnt quite read the room. For example, he would sit down on our sunbed without asking and even tried to join in on our card game. While friendliness is appreciated, this felt intrusive and out of line. The hotels terrace was another highlight. Its a beautiful spot to have breakfast, lunch, or relax in the evening while enjoying stunning views of the sea.
• - perfect location - very kind stuff - amazing breakfast

Cons -

• Even though the beach was advertised as private, there were many external visitors occupying the hotels beach space, lying on their towels. For mid-October, it felt surprisingly crowded. I expected the beach to be more exclusive for hotel guests, given that it is marketed as private. The shower in our room had a drainage issue the water wouldnt go down properly, which was both inconvenient and unpleasant. Additionally, the bad drainage caused an odor in the bathroom, which made it difficult to leave the AC off or open the balcony door due to the smell. Another major issue was the loud music from a neighboring property, which continued until 1 a.m. As a couple who prefers to sleep by 11 p.m., this was highly disruptive. It would be helpful if the hotel could arrange with the neighboring property to lower the volume. Out of curiosity, we checked out the source of the noise and found only two occupied tables out of about 50, so it wasnt even a real party just unnecessarily loud music. Our side sea-view room was beautiful, but switching to a quieter side of the hotel would have meant facing an unattractive building. This was disappointing, as there didnt seem to be an ideal solution for both a pleasant view and a peaceful stay. We also requested one bed, which was accommodated, but the hotel provided us with two small and very thin blankets. As a result, both of us felt cold during the night with the AC on. Unfortunately, switching the AC off wasnt an option due to the bathroom smell, and opening the balcony door made the already loud music even worse.
