Hotel Palia Don Pedro in Costa del Silencio

Everything was OK, within expectations for this hotel classification segment. The activities and entertainment staff deserve a positive rating.

We booked the hotel through Easy Jet holidays and feared the worst when we read some of the terrible reviews. We went with an open mind and had a great 4 nights there. The town is quieter than others around but we liked that. Yes the place is basic and dated, there are some cracked tiles - however - the rooms were clean, they were cleaned each day and the beds were made, the beds were so comfortable! All the staff were friendly and very hard working, the drinks were good and there were lots of organised activities. The breakfast was great and there was a wide variety of food at both lunch and dinner. We couldn’t fault it. On our last day we were able to store our luggage in a locked room, and paid 20 euros each to continue our all inclusive band until our transfer bus arrived. We would return to the hotel again.

I've returned from a wonderful week away in silencio , our stay was lovely , staff are friendly, after reading the reviews I was nervous to stay however I was pleasantly surprised, Cleaning was spot on went above and beyond 👌 Food had a great variety, not much of a veggie option. Never the less meals were different each day . Staff friendly helpful and accommodating. Facilities were easy to access and comfortable. The pool has plenty of loungers and seating. Lovely views , This is perfect for quite chilled holiday plenty of entertainment . Food/snacks are available throughout the day, including in all exclusive, we checked in had our evening meal checkout is at 12 however lunch is at 1 but you can store your luggage and have lunch with a ticket provided if you choose to have your band removed 😀 Taxi available all the time bus round the corner €3 euros to more lively area like los Cristianos. There is plenty of nice cafe alcohol and soft drinks in silencio. I recommend visiting Yellow Mountain about a 15-minute walk from the hotel . Overall, it is exactly what it says it is . Money is well spent and will be returning. Views are amazing . Thank you 😊

We stayed for 7 nights and had a great time, the hotel is far better than we were expecting after reading the reviews on here, staff were great, pool was excellent and food was nice, the hotel is in need of a lick of paint, not having Aircon was the only downside, resort is a little quiet and not many shops so be prepared to travel for gift shopping, busses are regular and put our UK bus service to shame as they are all sparkling clean and modern, I have Given the hotel 4 stars as I think that is what it's capabilities are if modernised and certain things updated.

I always get annoyed with negative reviews here. We’ve been coming to Palia Don Pedro for over 10 years and it’s still our go-to place. The food is always hot and varied (seafood, meats, pizza, and there's always chips and salad for the picky eaters, plus ice cream!), the rooms are clean though dated, which isn't a problem, because who goes on holiday for the room?... and the staff are some of the friendliest you’ll meet if you don't treat them like crap. When I asked a staff member how they make a specific soup, she came in on her day off just to give me the recipe?! I love her!! The staff really are amazing, they work long hours and have to put up with so much bull. The atmosphere is usually pretty relaxed (obviously depends on the season), the entertainment is fun thanks to Laureen and Alvin, and it’s great value for money. People complaining about watered down all inclusive are dumb; you can get unlimited drinks?!!! Why are you whining? Just go up and get more! My only issue I've ever had for the longest time is with safety. The baths aren’t ideal for disabled guests, there's no bath mats and you wouldn’t know you can request one unless you’ve been before. The steps up to the bar have broken lights, and the stairs to some second-floor apartments can be cracked or wobbly. I just urge people to be careful :(! If you use a mobility scooter or wheelchair, or are otherwise uneasy on your legs, request a ground floor apartment. Fix those small things and it would be perfect, but even as it is, we’ll keep coming back year after year :D please don't let the bad reviews put you off!
