I have been in Greece for holidays in 20 years in about 30 hotels. I will rate this hotel as one of the best. I can't find nearly no faults. Service super, clean room, good atmosphere, and as not normal in Greece an acceptable breakfast. You get full value for the money.

Some friends recommended this hotel to us,
they have been coming for the last 16 years and I can see why. It is Immaculately clean, we stayed in a lovely room, the food and drinks were amazing , there is a nice pool / garden area and the free sun beds on the small beach with drink service too.
What really makes this hotel stand out are the friendly ,helpful staff especially Katerina who goes above and beyond ,nothing is ever too much trouble. We had the best time and can’t wait to return x thankyou Savas Vicky Katerina (salad lady sorry forgot her name ) and all the staff
This was a longer vacation and it's been a while because of covid. So really a wanted holiday and this was very nice place. Small, personal and friendly at reasonable cost.
Great. All the necessary restaurants, shops, port within 10-15 min walk.
Palmyra has a own free private ok-ish beach but unfortunately that is a bit narrow and stoney. There are other commercial services in both directions, up and down the coast.
The room was nice, a bit small but fresh, with fridge and ac and tv, 4th floor and balcony facing north. Steel shutters to keep the room dark.
There were a couple of issues: pigeons made a big mess on the balcony like once a week and cleaner had to clean it up.
Earlier reviews mention the water pressure being low, yes it sometimes was but no problem. Water was drinkable (!) and lots of hot water too.
The staircase echoed some noises from lobby/bar below, and bathrooms have a extra duct fan on a separate switch.. that made some noise but not too bad.
Breakfast was adequate with juice, coffee, omelets, toast and bacon, yogurt with honey, some fruits.
Overall: cost, location, staff friendliness, service, modern. Very good.
I actually hate to say this because I’m really jealous. This is a hidden gem. It was recommended by a good friend and I know why. Anyone who wants that family vibe is sorted. Savvas, Viki and especially the legend that is Katarina makes this an amazing hotel. Spotlessly clean, food is beautiful. The food is beautiful but even more the the vibe is beautiful
Wow! Fantastic hotel.2 minute walk to a beautiful beach.Staff were brilliant and so friendly. Savvas,Viki and Katerina couldn't do enough for us. Will definitely be back but for a longer stay. Full marks for a fantastic place and fantastic people x
We arrived at the hotel and had a lovely welcome from Savvas who checked us in.
We were allocated a split-level family room and were told that if we were not happy we would be able to move rooms in three days.
The room small with double and had a spiral staircase in the corner that led to another room with twin beds. All of the wardrobes were upstairs. It had a large balcony where the sink fridge and cooking hob were situated. It’s also had an amazing Seaview.
We decided to make the switch to a same level family room on day three and it was much better for us. This time we had a view of the pool and the mountains beyond.
The pool whilst quite small is adequate for the people that use it and we found that there was never a problem getting a sunbed. There were times when we were the only people around the pool. Sunbeds were super comfy with padded mattresses on them.
Katerina was amazing. She was always on hand to provide drinks and food which were all of a good standard. We ate lunch here many times my daughter especially liked the Maradona Burger and they were always happy to swap my chips for salad.
Position wise the hotel is within a few steps of the beach where there are hotel sunbeds free to use. We are pool people so did not go to the beach which is quite stony.
The main area for restaurants on the harbour front is a 10 minute stroll away.
We really enjoyed our time here at the Palmyra hotel and for the family that run it nothing was too much trouble.
My only negative would be that’s whilst they offer self catering facilities there isn’t much room for any food preparation although we do not tend to self cater ourselves as we eat out.
Will we be back? I’m sure at some point, we definitely will.
