I really wish I could give this place more stars, the staff were very good, however the resort is in need of TLC. Our room was clean, but there was a couple of drawer fronts not on properly, the wood of the doors looked like it was rotten at the bottom and the balcony sliding door did not want to stay on the rail. That said the room was a generous size with a separate sleeping area, all the bedding was clean and comfortable. The facilities in the room was bare minimum however it was an all-inclusive holiday so I did not even attempt to use them. The food in the restaurant was nothing fancy, but there was plenty of it and something for everyone. There was a chicken paella dish that was particularly tasty and tempted me for seconds. Nothing wrong at all for the main pool area however I did overhear someone say the kids pool was horrific, I was not tempted to go and see for myself. There was entertainment every day and evening, I was just gutted that I missed the bingo on the Monday, not the fault of the resort, the entertainment host was very good at getting people involved in the events. When I booked this resort it was the cheapest all-inclusive deal at the time, for the price I paid it was what I was expecting, it was advertised as a 3 star, and overall this is probably an accurate reflection.

My partner and I stayed here for a week in the middle of April. Overall I'd say the hotel was okay for the money we paid.
Our room was rather sparse and definitely needed a refresh. No Aircon and the ceiling fan in the living room/kitchen area had a hole in the ceiling behind it so we were reluctant to turn it on out of fear it would fly off and decapitate one of us. There were also only two electrical sockets in the entire apartment, neither of which were in the bedroom.
We had heard lots of reports of guests rooms being broken into during their stay. Luckily that didn't happen to us but it did put us on our guard, especially after finding out the hotel was also home to full time residents, not strictly hotel guests.
Staff were helpful and friendly, and the food was tasty. My only criticism about the food was that it was a little repetitive, especially breakfast and there wasn't a huge range to choose from. During peak times food was eaten quickly and not replenished at the same rate so you'd often have to wait.
While I can't say I'd recommend the hotel, it wasn't an awful experience for us personally, but I certainly wouldn't be in a rush to go back.

Rooms are nothing like the photos. The shower head must never get cleaned. The food in the restaurant was tolerable. Sometimes the service was very good from the staff and bar staff but other times it felt like you just were not wanted.
The guy who did the entertainment throughout the day and at night was amazing he is the only thing about the place that was good.

Hello, here's an honest review of this hotel. We visited as a family from the UK just a few days ago, stayed for 5 nights, booked thru sunshine holidays. The place is 3 stars but looks a bit run down in places, the rooms are dated, furniture is old, but everything works and overall decent. You pay to rent lounger towels if you want or just buy your own from shops. You have to pay for WIFI, and a deposit for the tv remote in the room if you're phone doesn't have an for it. Mine did. The staff are welcoming and nice, helpful when needed but that's about it. Most of them that work directly with the customers seem to speak many languages. Plenty of tourists from the UK, France, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe even Russians who are everywhere for some reason, so people are happy with the place. But remember this is not 4 or 5 stars, you get what you pay for. There is a decent reception area, you walk through, then you have the restaurant on the left, and after that the complex sprawls everywhere, with a central pool in the middle and a kids pool at the corner of it. the bar is to the left of the pool, that's where most stay during the day. The complex is mostly hotel apartments with a few of them seem to be sold and the owners live on site. If you explore, you can find a little footbal court, a sand volleyball court and a mostly abandoned bowls area. There are the usual rules of don't reserve your lounger but most still do early morning, no music in the pool area from your phone or speaker as you get some from the bar sound system etc. There are loads of trees and plants around the place, and green parrots everywhere which were a joy to see. Our kids were happy with everything, maybe the pool water could be heated a bit, most people don't go in because of it. Same with the kids pool which is in the shade most of the day. Maybe it isn't a problem in the summer. Entertainment by the bar in the evenings, we didn't bother with it as we have little kids, but it can get loud if your apartment is close to that area. The food was decent, pretty good variety and quality, plenty of fruit and deserts, usual bar with cheap all inclusive drinks, again everything in line with the price you pay and the rating. Same stuff with the reviews here or on google, most people that write these reviews like to complain, the ones that were happy with it don't bother so you don't get a realistic view of it. But that's what you get here, a decent but somewhat dated place that works for the majority, if you want a cheap getaway in the south of the island you won't get much cheaper than this, and it's a good deal. So 4/5 from us. Thanks again to the staff and maybe see you again!

Just back from 6 nights at Palia Don Pedro.
Ok, budget holiday but...
You expect the place to look somewhat like the photos!
On first impression, the outside looks like it's ready to crumble!
The lady on reception seemed quite abrupt and impatient when I couldn't load the web page for my booking- The signal.is shocking!
For All inclusive I'd expect WiFi and a safe(maybe a small fee for safe,not 30€!) And not to have to pay after 10.30pm!!!
Apartment was spacious and clean but old and definitely needs repairs and decorating.
Shower was great but again, Bathroom needs a refresh.
Beds were ok and plenty of space to hang /store your clothing.
Food was ok but a bit repetitive,especially breakfast.
Pool was fine.
Sunloungers need replacing.
Housekeeping ladies were all polite.
The ice cream offered are tiny pots despite the pics showing Magnum,cornetto etc-those you pay for!
The balcony door looked as though someone had attempted to break in!
Staff in the restaurant and pool bar were all lovely, very helpful and polite.
Nice little parade of shops and bars about 8 or 10 minute stroll away and The bus stop is a 2 or 3 minute walk away.
Los Cristianos is about 30 min bus ride (€1.50) away.
Wouldn't go back but made the most of our time there.
