I have been here nearly a week now and I have to say I done really have any issues . · Location - Set in the middle of the hustle and bustle of town. Its a great place to use as your base for your holiday. Beach is only 2 minutes walk away and the bus stop is right outside the hotel. · Cleanliness - The room was cleaned each day and new towels supplied. Generally the hotel is spotlessly clean in all dining and comunal areas. Cleaners are friendly and do a great job. · Food - The food is good, a good choice every meal time and well prepared. There has not been a day when I have not found something at meal time I can enjoy . Food is cooked to a high standard. · Rooms- They are basic but provide everything you need for your stay. Wifi in all rooms and air conditioning. Extremely clean. · All the staff here are very friendly and are happy to assist you in any way they can. Overall I have had a great stay . This place is a great all inclusive if you are looking for a base to explore the island. Its location for this is perfect and it ticks all the boxes in that sense. I would certainly come back.Thanks you team Pela Maria…

We decided to take a flight and a hotel. My wife decided to occupy the place that is not expensive and close to the beach and shops. We arrived late in the evening, they received him very nicely. Without expectations for a luxury hotel, we are satisfied with what we got. Management is important to her opinion and they are interested in raising the level of stars and occupancy. In the coming years, the hotel will be significantly improved. Since 2020, because of the corona virus, they could not renovate the hotel. Now they mean it! They are very interested in the guests.

I love this place, the staff here is very kind, always when we needed to warm up food or water for our kids, they didn’t have any problems with that. Rooms are clean and I think every second day they clean our rooms, change sheets and change towels for new one. Food is really tasty and u can choose from large quantity and type. And location is the best. 🤍

The experience at this hotel has been below any expectations. I recommend to avoid this accommodation at any cost. Our flight was cancelled and we needed to book a hotel last minute. Based on the pictures which were provided by the hotel we expected something which at least would have been decent. The room was filled with smoke smell as well as mould. There are no smoke detectors in the room which may be why people smoke in the room. The telephone also did not work which is a legal issue as if you require any emergency support there’s no way of contacting reception. The toilet was rusty and the sealing trimming was falling down as well as the frame on the mirror. The mattress had brown stains on it and the sheets where not clean with faeces looking stains on it. The air conditioning filter was thick with dust as well as the top of the unit being very scummy and dusty. We woke up the first morning sniffling and coughing due to the amount of dust in the room; we have dust allergies which usually become severe without medication, we vacated the room as soon as we woke and didn’t return until late night just to avoid the unhygienic state of the place. The balcony door does not close securely meaning a forceful push could lead entry into the room. As for the safe, it is really only enough for small items not for a standard sized laptop of which we had to carry around most of our items due to the size restriction on the safe. The cleaner walked in our room at 9 in the morning despite the “do not disturb” sign being up and not even knocking before coming in. There is tragic music playing extremely loud from around 9am in the morning which is also an outdated playlist considering there is a mixture of different aged customers staying. Overall Pela Maria is outdated, no money is invested into upgrading the buildings exterior and especially interior, they say “ you pay for what you get” but no one should have to pay for a facility and avoid it the entire time they are staying. We do not want a pathetic reply from this hotel justifying their excuse for every point made in this review. Instead please take into consideration the feedback you’re receiving especially from these honest rating to better your facility.…

So, my partner and I very nearly never came to Pela Maria after reading some of the reviews and pictures you can find on Trip Advisor! We were concerned when we couldn't change, but now we are glad we didn't! We stayed in room 501... which was lovely and clean on arrival and cleaned regularly during our stay. The staff are very friendly and helpful from the moment you arrive, they are also happy to help with anything you may need... it was my birthday and on the request of my partner they decorated the room whilst we were out, which was so lovely! Nothing was too much trouble for them. The manager is always around overseeing the hotel, and is very friendly and approachable. Now, let's get round to the food.... WOW!! Everything we ate was beautiful, we tried lots of different dishes and these varied daily. What a great job the chef did of catering to so many visitors of different nationalities ensuring there was something for everyone. The location of the hotel is fantastic and the pool area is clean and tidy, with music played to help entertain you whilst you work on your tan. My advice..... don't be put off by the reviews, it really was nothing like we expected after reading them.... the only thing I agree with on the bad reviews is that it shouldn't be a 3 star hotel.... and that's because it should be a 4 just based on the quality of the food. We will definitely return!…

My stay in hotel was very nice. The staff was generally very friendly and buffet they did a good variety of foods everyday. Wi-Fi connection is good in entire hotel. AC works just fine and keeps room in comfortable temperature. The view from balcony to mountains is gorgeous.
