The Holiday Palace has a lot to offer from spacious rooms to a nice pool area, but our dining experience left much to be desired. The food was often cold and repetitive, and the location, while calm, felt quite remote with no immediate access to amenities. Overall, we appreciated the clean facilities and enjoyable atmosphere, but I wish there had been more variety in the dining options.

We had a wonderful family holiday at the hotel, where the atmosphere was perfect for kids and the staff made us feel very welcome. The facilities, especially for children, were fantastic, and the entertainment kept them happily engaged throughout our stay. However, while the rooms were cleaned daily, they could use a bit of modernization to enhance comfort. The dining options were good overall but could improve in variety, especially at breakfast.
