Pal Beach

Lovely B&B hotel right on the beach in beautiful Paleochora. Booked this for just the two of us for a few days off sun (much needed as UK is having its worst summer) and we loved our stay here. We’re here for the location and weather so the room may not be bougie but had all we needed. We booked side sea view and 1st floor. Glad we weren’t on ground floor as you get no outdoor space with your room. En-suite was good, wardrobe, dresser, tv, fridge and Wi-Fi throughout. Fan cooking was good as it didn’t dry you out like AC does. Breakfast is continental hams and cheeses, yoghurt and fresh fruit, juices, teas and coffee, pastries and boiled eggs with variety of breads. Get down before 10am though as they stop topping it all up. There’s a water cooler so although there’s no food served during the day, you can refill your water anytime if you need a break from the beach. Staff are lovely and there’s little interaction, you don’t need it. Everything is just done. Rooms cleaned daily. You can sit out on the terrace at breakfast and listen to the waves roll in. Parking is roadside and free but first come first served. A supermarket is 100m to the left of the hotel and it’s got everything you could need. The beach is amazing and the orange dumbed and umbrella are just €4 euro per day for 2 beds if staying here. Half price! This is where the Greek come to holiday and stay to cool off in the crystal waters with soft sand (very hot sand) so that’s about the greatest recommendation a place can get

We stayed in one of the most expensive rooms the Panoramic Sea View Suites as we wanted the sea-view from our room… the location was just perfect opposite the sandy beach and close to the centre of the town, the bed was very comfortable, as were the pillows and the bedding was lovely too. The bedroom was spacious and there was also plenty of space in the living room if you wanted to watch TV. The breakfast was adequate, if very repetitive and we liked the fact that we were able to take our breakfast back to our room so we could eat it looking out at that lovely view. We were slightly disappointed with the quality of the room…reading that it was recently renovated we expected a higher standard, basically the rooms had had a cheap refit, the old bath tub still remained as well as the old tiles and shower unit and shower curtain as well as the old tired dark wood sliding door. There was no privacy on the balcony which could have been easily fixed by putting up a privacy screen. We had a problem with no hot water in the mornings….I reported this to reception who said they would sort it, unfortunately they didn’t so we never had a warm or hot shower in the morning during our stay ! However there was plenty of hot water in the evenings. The hotel also has its own orange sun loungers on the beach opposite, these I had assumed would be free, but we’re only available to guests at a 50% discount. The front reception staff were friendly and helpful and on check in we were given lots of useful information about the area. Would we stay again? No not paying the amount we had to for the Panoramic Sea View Suites…they are too expensive for what they are offering.

The location is perfect. Paleochora is amazing and I would highly recommend if you’ve never been. This was our 5th visit, but the first time at Hotel Pal Beach. I wouldn’t go to this property again. The hotel’s location is perfect. The sea view suite is nice and the view is stunning. The breakfast is not bad at all really. I’ve had far worse. Lots of fresh fruit and yoghurt with honey. The staff ruined our stay I’m afraid to say. Just head down at reception. Help yourself to your own key so no interaction was called for. I would describe them at best disinterested, at worse, they are rude. One member of staff was clearly talking about me in Greek (I had moved the stray cats away from my wife who is allergic) as she was stood a meter away pointing at me and shouting to a local man. I asked her what the problem was and she shouted at me in English that I was the reason for the stray cat problem. When it was quieter, I went to talk to the receptionist to complain about the incident at breakfast. As I was telling her, the phone rang and she stopped me to take the call. Customer service was not the highest priority at Hotel Pal Beach. If you want amazing views, book the full sea view rooms. Just don’t expect a warm welcome.

Things are going south with this hotel. As other people writes in their review a simple hot shower can be a challenge. Sun beds now comes with a price - another little plus turned into a minus. Furthermore - and even worse - the whole hotel emits a nerve wracking vacuum hover like noise from the hopeless inefficient A/C installation. We have been coming here for decades but this stay might be the last. You simply can find rest from the constant vacuum hover sound.

Hotel war super. Das Frühstück ausreichend, alles immer sauber und die Mitarbeiter immer freundlich, wie mans von Griechenland kennt. Es gibt nur ein paar Kleinigkeiten die man wissen sollte wenn man zu extrem auf Geräusche reagiert. Bei den vorderen Zimmern hört man den aufzug lauter. Die Klimanlage ist auch nicht gerade leise.....aber....Wenn die klimaanlage (es gibt 3 stufen) auf 1 gedreht ist, und der deckenventilator auf 2, ist es zum schlafen super, und die Lautstärke hält sich Grenzen. Es gibt sehr angenehme Betten, teilweise besser als in 4-5 Sterne hotels wo ich das doppelte gezahlt habe. Am Strand gibt es ausreichend Liegen, es gibt eine kleine Bar beim hotel (das dazu gehört), wo man alle möglichen Getränke, snacks und Mittagessen bekommt. Sicher, es gibt hier und da ein paar Sachen die vll erneuert gehören, aber man merkt das der Hotelbesitzer dahinter ist.

Отличный отель.За неделю не нашлось ни одного негатива. Удивительно, но ни разу горничные не мешали(как это во всём Мире) отдыху. Уборку делали когда клиента НЕТ в номере. Очень приветливый персонал. Рецепция регулярно отвечала на e-mail. Пляж в 100 м напротив. Чистейшее и спокойное (июЛь) море. Русскоязычных клиентов не встретил, преобладали немецкие туристы.Нормальный (на мой скромный вкус) завтрак. Документы, деньги можно сдать в сейф рецепции.

Perfektes Hotel für einen schönen Strandurlaub in einem zauberhaften Ort abseits der Bettenburgen. Das Hotel und die Zimmer sind sehr sauber und sehr freundlich. Die Zimmer sind zweckmäßig aber groß und hell und vor allem: mit individueller Klimaanlage und mit Deckenventilator ausgestattet! Das erweiterte kontinentale Frühstück ist frisch und lecker. Die kleine Snackbar ist lecker und preiswert. Die Lage ist der Hammer. Der Strand ein Traum. Liegen und Schirme sind so günstig, dass man einfach Trinkgeld geben muss! Nächstes Mal fliegen wir über Chania! Absolut empfehlenswert!!!

Un piccolo albergo nel quale torniamo sempre volentieri. Accogliente, pulitissimo, ottima colazione! Posizione strategica per andare la sera in centro a piedi e fare un bagno sulla spiaggia di sabbia antistante. Lo consigliamo vivamente!

Die besten Zimmer sind die Suiten auf der Frontseite des Hotels. Tolle Sonnenuntergänge. Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Beim Frühstück ist noch viel Luft nach oben - sehr eintönig und knapp bemessen
