I visited from the UK with my teenage son for October half term. We usually stay at the Atlantis so I was interested to experience a quiet resort away from city. I chose this hotel because I loved the idea of sea view chalets and the bowling / arcade/ entertainment for my son.
Rooms The sea view chalets are set along a thin strip of sand, a couple of meters max at low tide. Although lacking in beach it is nice to sleep so close to the water and at first glance looking out from the room reminds me of over- water villas! The sea view rooms are the quieter area of the resort away from the main pools. Saturday night was busy with music from other chalets, families having bbq's and fishing which gave a relaxed holiday atmosphere rather than annoyance.
Dining Breakfast is a buffet which catered to our tastes, pancakes, French toast, pastries, freshly made omelette and fruit. The menu for lunch, dinner and room service is the same and absolutely huge! We've had meals in the restaurant and room service pizza. Prices are really reasonable, under £5 for a kids meal and about £20 for 2 pizzas and soft drinks.
Entertainment The bowling alley is brilliant, we also played air hockey and arcade games (£1 each. We haven't done water sports yet but there are people out in kayaks.
Pools The pools are lovely. Lots of loungers and space, attentive life guards, clean and the right temperature.
All of the staff have been so welcoming, even my son commented on the service, nothing is too much trouble.
Travelling as a mum and child we feel really safe here. There's a huge bolt on the inside of the room door which is good, a private beach and security getting in which I like.
Tips Water shoes for the beach and getting down to the sand as it is quite stony.
Bring cash, there's some confusion about whether you can charge things to the room (it's been about 50:50).
Bring a beach cover up / sarong. Lots of ladies in and around the pool fully covered, it felt a bit disrespectful to lie there in a swimsuit (from me, no one looked or said anything but I felt happier a bit covered up).
My verdict...although nowhere near as glam as Atlantis, the service and setting are lovely, it hasn't cost an arm and a leg and I'm already planning to return next year!
Thank you to all the staff and management for a wonderful visit.

It’s always been a wonderful experience staying at Palma. We booked for 2 suites & 4 deluxe rooms, all were ready upon checkin. Mr. Hassan, Duty Manager, who took care of all our requests were so accomodating and in full support. May I just request that a shelf for the shampoo and body wash be placed inside the bath area so we don’t put these on the floor. All else, were all good. From rooms to the surrounding area of our suites, we enjoyed it! All the staff were ready to assist. Thank you to the whole team. Kudos!!!

Beautiful property , Worth of every single penny we spent on the room. Resort has 02 big pool which includes kids pool as well , Nice Spa facility but need a reservation in advance , 24hrs Room service is very convenient , Attached bowling center was extra brownie points to the resort along with PS games and Billiards. Guest room is spacious with complementary tea/Coffee setup along with 2 bottle of water. Minibar in the room works very efficient and AC too. Amenities in the room was enough for 2 pax and all are pretty decent and Bio products. They have done a beautiful towel art on my bed which amazing and thanks to the Housekeeping team also Room cleaning was wonderful. I suggest to book a deluxe room with sea view for a betterment of you are a fan of a view and this category room comes with a BBQ pit just out side of our balcony so it's easy access for us to cook as well. It's a inbuilt BBQ pit but better to carry other equipment with us as the resort does not provide. All the staffs are wonderful and Shiranthi was so helpful starting from check-in and check-out , Fazal was wonderful with amazing hospitality and he is good with local knowledge. ATM was a gentleman who served us the food and he was very professional. Now to the improvement part Room does not have a cold water , inside the shower no place to keep the bathing amenity which makes us inconvenience for the showering process. No bath towels upon arrivals as we used our towel art towels on the bed to dry out self , Electronic safe does not work , No Buffet for BF , previous guest juice bottle inside the minibar ( which was given to Fazal who escorted us to room ) , Pool water temperature is warm at the time of 4pm where it supposed to be mild cold as the temperature already high on that time I stayed in 15.

The rooms are very clean and fully equipped. Every ground floor room has a BBQ station built next to it and private access to the beach. The hotel is quiet and very serene. We had a massage done by Jesse and she was amazing and highly recommended. Next time I'll bring the kids along as there are water slides in the pool and a gaming centre with play-station, billiards and bowling.

Located in UAQ this is a great get away from city life . Perfect for kids as it has an amazing splash pool for the little ones in addition to the gaming arcade with bowling, billiards and video games. So keep them busy while you enjoy the shisha, food, pool and ambience of the resort. The private villas facing the beach are perfect for those seeking serenity And privacy. The entire resort is Egypt themed making it cool for the gram . They also have water sports like kayaking , motor boat & jet skiing A nice staycation option at very reasonable prices too .
