I felt we got very good value for our money spending our week long vacation here. The staff were very nice and hospitable, the food definitely above average for the price category. The animation team did a great job entertaining our kids (8 and 10 y/o) with their daily events, especially the disco. We very much enjoyed the privacy of the hotel beach as well as the pool. At any time we could get drinks and small snacks from the bar. Initially we had some issues with the AC in our room, but those were quickly resolved. The rooms are not the shiniest to be sure, but you won't be spending that much time in them anyway, so we didn't find that to be a big deal. I would definitely recommend this hotel for a family vacation.

We had an absolutely unforgettable stay at this hotel! The staff were incredibly helpful and attentive, always going above and beyond to make sure every guest felt welcomed and comfortable. They even gifted us a nice package of local goodies before we left. The hotel itself is like a slice of paradise – stunning views and a beautiful beach just steps away. It’s small, very private territory surrounded by mountains. It’s seems like you don’t need outside world, because everything is right here. The cocktails options were great (try green apple martini) and food was delicious, a lot of fresh meat and fish, local produce, live cooking. The only controversial thing is a bit worn out rooms, but it didn’t bother us at all.

nice staff, everyone helpful but except for Rosemary at reception. Also when we arrived, even if we booked and asked months before for a cot, there was no cot in our room. When we were outside the room someone randomly entered our room and put a cot. I know it’s a hotel, but there’s no need to enter the room without asking our permission. We also asked for a double bed as our baby sleeps between us, but they didn’t give us a double bed and only brought a mattress topper, which made it even worse. Overall, I do not recommend this place.

Absolute gem of a hotel. Hidden away and far from the crowds. Beach side hotel. Secluded location. Fabulous pool. Delicious food. Great service. Rooms were a bit disappointing and very hot! Air conditioning on but set so couldn't change which made the room uncomfortable. Bathroom quite basic however, the rest of the hotel was fantastic. Staff were wonderful. All inclusive with free use of pedalo and kayak when not too windy.

Review of Mali Palace Hotel: My wife and I recently chose Mali Palace Hotel as the destination for our honeymoon, and it turned out to be a perfect choice for us. This small and intimate hotel offers amazing facilities, with a beautiful beach right outside our doorstep, creating a serene and romantic atmosphere that set the tone for an unforgettable stay. One of the highlights of our experience at Mali Palace Hotel was the exceptional food and drink offerings. The culinary delights served at the hotel were nothing short of excellent, with a diverse menu that catered to all tastes. Whether we were enjoying a romantic dinner by the beach or sipping cocktails at the bar, every meal was a delightful experience that added to the magic of our honeymoon. We had a massage it was so perfect and relaxing I think my wife is going to make me book one every week now , Beyond the luxurious amenities and stunning location, what truly made our stay special was the warm and friendly staff at Mali Palace Hotel. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with genuine hospitality and attentiveness that made us feel truly welcomed and cared for throughout our stay. Their dedication to ensuring our comfort and satisfaction went above and beyond our expectations, making our honeymoon even more memorable. As we reflect on our time at Mali Palace Hotel, we are already looking forward to returning in the future. The hotel's charm, impeccable service, and idyllic setting have left a lasting impression on us, and we cannot thank the staff enough for making our honeymoon truly perfect. If you are seeking a romantic and intimate getaway, Mali Palace Hotel is the ideal choice that promises an unforgettable experience.
