    Great stay at the palace

    We stayed at the palace Jan 31-Feb 7, grandparents and 9 and 15 year old grandsons. We all enjoyed ourselves and never had any issues at all. Food choices to please everyone. Super clean resort. We have been here before multiple times and once again it was a great place to be. Can't wait to come back again.

    Really poor hotel. Avoid.

    Number of issues with stay. Spoke with duty manager day before departure. They said you need to raise the issues in real time so as that we can resolve them. We did. Several times. Still all unresolved. Errors were made with the booking. Air conditioning was not working. We had to wait longer than we were told we would for certain things. Furthermore, the food, drink and service were just generally poor.
